I like the trailer, but I'll wait for the Blu-Ray. I don't get to the theater too often.

Ditto !

It just occurred to me that Sam Worthington looks sorta like a really young Dennis Quaid...

This film will be a career-maker for Sam .

Zoe Saldana from the trek film plays a role , also .

Giovanni Ribisi , Sigourney Weaver , and isn't that Michelle Rodriguez ? Nice job on the casting...

I ditto your ditto and raise you a "Can't Wait".....

The trailer looks awesome. Imagine Cameron waited 10 years to get this puppy going. It should be amazing.

I agree about the casting in this movie. Cameron is a special director, he knows how to put together a great action-adventure spectacular.

Had to mention on here...

I went to that Avatar Day thing back a while ago at Imax. We saw...3 or 4 scenes? 15 minutes of footage in total. All in 3D. This was pre-trailer (or, the trailer was released that morning, but I hadn't seen it yet when I saw the preview.)

Now, so far all the trailers I've seen have been fairly underwhelming. Sure, it looks nice, but so much of the footage has been slowed down, and looks jittery, and you don't get a good look at the animation and feel of the creatures and effects. Also, hardly any story is shown, particularly in the first trailer. Both trailers are very montage, quick-cut heavy, and that always irritates me in trailers.

So what I'm saying is this.
If you like the trailers, judging from the footage I saw at Avatar Day, you'll love the film. Even if it's just for the look of it, as I can't promise the story will be anything fantastic. But honestly, I enjoyed the heck out of the preview, and can't wait for this movie to come out! I'll be there opening day, 3D glasses on, praying that Cameron has done it again.

(In case someone has missed this, the ENTIRE PLANET of Pandora is computer generated. All that foresty stuff and what not? CGI.)

(Also, there's some mild spoilers in the below clip, but it's a pretty interesting "making of a scene", showing some of the technology and how it all came together.)

I'm going to buck the overall trend in this thread and say that I haven't been impressed by the trailers I've seen.

I havn't been blown away by the trailers myself. But I have more than enough confidence in Cameron's skills to get me to the theatre opening weekend.
