Personally, I'm trying not to watch a bunch of trailers on this because I'm waiting for the main event. I'm waiting to be Wowed. Avatar, for sure, is a roll of the dice for Cameron and company, so I'm going along with that roll only because of his rep.
These are my favs by Cameron:
T1, T2
Aliens
Titanic
True Lies
and perhaps my all-time fav by him The Abyss.
Not a bad track record. Of course, everything is relative and Avatar could very well bomb. I mean stranger things have happened.
BTW found out that Cameron was given a hard time by film crew and talent alike when he took the reins from Ridley Scott in filming Aliens. Even though he had great success with The Terminator (which he made for under $7 Million). Who'd of thunk it.
It shows to go ya'

Well, I've been thoroughly impressed by the trailers, which look great in 1080p on my 20" iMac, and sound great with headphones on!
Even though I've seen a bunch of clips through the interactive trailer < http://www.avatarmovie.com/air/> that pretty much give away the whole plot, I know I'm still gonna have my mouth hanging open much of the time on opening day.
I've never been to a 3D presentation, since I wear glasses, so I'm worried about that.

Having seen the whole flick -- hey, it's my job, it's what I do -- I'm fair certain ya'll will find Avatar entertaining enough to warrant the price of admission and the heavily marked up popcorn 'n sodas.
Heavily reliant on CGI scenes, as in about half the movie, it's awesome CGI throughout, well integrated. No worries on that score.
And I like the fact that from the first frame of the picture through to the very end of the credits this film runs 2 hours, 45 minutes. Consider the fact that if I'm paying for the price of admission and over valued popcorn, I'm the guy who desires a bladder testing running time.
Possibly massive caveat: I've not seen any portion of this flick in 3D, ergo I've nae clue as to how that experience effects viewing pleasure.
Plotwise and thematically, well, if you don't go into viewing this flick with the expectations of a Serenifly, then your viewing pleasure will not be compromised.
cozen says: unlike the Star Wars prequels, this is entertainment worthy of not waiting for the dvds. Let the double negatives be your guide.
Wait a sec... the SW prequels aren't worth any consumer investment in any format. But I digress.

Don't be CL. I saw Coraline in 3D and it was fantastic. It felt like you were watching a live performance.
Anyways, Avatar has the latest in 3D tech - so I'm pysched!
What I'm saying is it pretty much depends on the tech and director - both, of which, seem top notch.
