The bit from about 0:30 to 0:37 or so sounds like a pretty good recruiting ad for the Marines, doesn't it? I thought the trailer was quite impressive. It's too much CGI, but the CGI looks pretty good. After it was over, I realized I'd seen it before. The plot was so familiar. It wasn't Smurfs.... this "Avatar" is really like a live-action/CGI science fiction adaptation of "Ferngully: The Last Rain Forest".
The video below combines the two pretty well.
I'm looking forward to this movie, but it seems like one of those that will get two and a half star reviews. But hey, Will Ferrell isn't in it, so how bad can it be?

There was a very long article in last month's Wired about the CGI specifically, and how hard Cameron has worked on it to make it truly 3D. Interesting details about how a dream led him to write "Terminator" too.

"Terminator" is also very similar to a "Twilight Zone" episode. Thanks for the comment and link.
Ferngully... Nice! I read somewhere a reviewer comparing this movie to "Dances With Wolves". I am actually looking forward to seeing this thing based on the trailer.
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, I also saw the preview and thought it looked pretty good. I loved Aliens, so I'm hoping it's a good one.
AVATAR is Pocahontas on Steroids!!!!:)
