Has anyone else had a chance to see the teaser trailer for this movie? Its AMAZING! Just goes to show how far CGI technology has evolved. It is a Sci-Fi movie and as far as I can tell, it just might rival Lucasarts and their CGI team.

And that's not the coolest thing about it. Sigourney Weaver is gonna be in it! A Sci-Fi movie with her in it will sure attact a hige audience from the Alien fanbase demographic Lol!

Synopsis:

quote:
The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race that humans consider primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na’vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence.

Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human "driver" through a technology that links the driver's mind to their Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is only matched by her ferocity in battle.

Over time, Jake integrates himself into Neytiri's clan, and begins to fall in love with her. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.


But enough of that. On with the trailer:

I've seen the teaser trailer already. Had the opportunity to see the 16 minute IMAX trailer, but didn't go. Should be cool.

BUD:

Yeah I seriously can't wait for it. The Na'vi have such a cool look going for them and FINALLY they make them look lean and athletic instead over-bulked up monstrosities or twiggy little things. Just the perfect balance of strength speed and elegence... Lol!

AG:

There was a 16 MIN. TRAILER?! And I MISSED IT?! Damn...

You guys are gonna get a crack out of this. Here are a few conceptual sketches of the Na'vi race before the accepted design.
