Avatar.


So yes, three years curiously following the movie. Hearing directors from Steven Spielberg to Ridley Scott saying that this is something revolutionary.


The trailer, to say the least, will be a letdown if you're expecting something amazing. Great expectations, I suppose are rarely met.


The big downer will be the looks of the aliens. Hardly impressive, very unnatural. But then they are aliens and the mind thinks as much. The unfortunate uncanny valley.

Anyway, looking forward to it in 3D. Can't be worse than Transformers 2, can it?


P.S. Seems like most of those who went for Avatar Day (i.e. the worldwide brief preview of Avatar) say that it's the 3D that changes the whole game. Indeed, one notices the mixed reviews for the teaser trailer  vs. the almost universal acclaim for the footage shown on Avatar Day.

I guess one can't judge the film by the trailer. Not that I usually do that. Heh.
