Happenstance Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Avatar Trailer Im posting the French link because apparently all the English ones kept timing out, there is only one word in the trailer though so it doesnt really make a difference
Cube Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Is it me, or is the CGI in the action scenes completely different to the CGI in the non-action scenes?
Paj! Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I hate how the people look like cgi people. As in, they move rubbishly.
Daft Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I was distinctly underwhelmed by that trailer. Full 1080p. Nice big screen. Had my lovely headphones on and I was 'meh'-ed to death.
Ganepark32 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I thought the Avatar trailer was good. Very action packed, looked great. So how does the 3d work in it then? Will you have to go to an Imax cinema and don the 3d specs or will it be as such at all cinemas? I can see it being mindblowing in 3d.
Goafer Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 What is Avatar based on? Playstation Home. They've really improved it recently. Although all the way through that (If I watch it), I'm going to be thinking "Ever wondered what the bottom of your avatars foot looks like? BAM!"
Ashley Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Hmm. Doesn't 'say' much does it. I suppose the intention but alas, I'll wait and see. I know this is usually reserved for film trailers but the new Nip/Tuck promo is available here and its awesome. Although I still prefer the one from last season: Both are awesomely stylish though.
Dante Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Apple trailers are working now. What is Avatar based on? It is base on nothing. The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully, 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 give him a healthy body. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush rainforest-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, but are actually more evolutionarily advanced than humans. Standing ten feet 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 beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is 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. I preferred the one drawn by children. Which was drawn by children? Edited August 21, 2009 by Dante Automerged Doublepost
Retro_Link Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Oh Avatar isn't graphic novel, comic, anime inspired or anything?
Daft Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 No, but I think it stole the whole look of Fern Gully.
arnold Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Christ, what season is Nip/tuck on? I think the last one I saw was the Masked Killer Season, can't remember the name of him, turned out to be a Woman or something? I thinks I need to investigate this, I enjoyed Nip/tuck
Ashley Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Christ, what season is Nip/tuck on? I think the last one I saw was the Masked Killer Season, can't remember the name of him, turned out to be a Woman or something? I thinks I need to investigate this, I enjoyed Nip/tuck Its about to enter its 6th in October (in America) which will be its last. Although there's 19 episodes done and dusted but its unclear at the moment if FX is going to split it into two seasons. New York, I Love You I quite liked Paris, je t'aime so hopefully this should be good too. Wonder if they'll use that LCD Soundsystem song. Edited August 21, 2009 by Ashley
Ashley Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 9 Read about this yesterday and then stumbled upon this previewey thing today: http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/9-feature/sneak-peak Looks really interesting and its kind of a shame that it has Tim Burton's name attached to it because its not a Tim Burton film, as far as I can gather from interviews he was just provided support (and obviously the name to help get it off the ground so swings and roundabouts). Out end of October here.
Paj! Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 TBH, the film-makers were probably grateful from anyone with a name as "household" as that. Since no one else on that poster rings a bell at all.
Ashley Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 No I understand it as a marketing point, but I just mean the 13-year old Burton fangirls will rush to it expecting a Nightmare Before Christmas and then be sad it doesn't have singing or something. The director is actually adapting his Academy Award Winning short he did for college, which is quite an impressive feat.
Ashley Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 But they're 13. I'm not into that No no I know, but they tend to be annoyingly vocal. Like Coraline and how everyone was like "Oooh new Tim Burton film" when he had nothing to do with it, then said its not as good as Tim Burton's normal stuff >_>
Paj! Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Did he write the book or something? / Or is it a graphic novel? I'm confused. Was it another case of his name being on the poster for doing nothing, and then they all rushed etc?
Ashley Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 It was billed as "From the Director of Nightmare Before Christmas" and everyone presumes he directed it, he didn't, Henry Selick did. (which kinda negates my earlier point but you know what I mean )
Paj! Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I know what you mean. I'm so bored of Tim Burton. I don't hate him pointlessly like ReZ and co., but Nightmare Before Christmas got old fast, and Corpse Bride was pretty shite. I do like his penchant for letting his wife/lover Helena Bonham Carter into everything he does, since she's great. I'll go see Alice in Wunderland, since I love the book, but I imagine it'll just be a Burtonised update of the cartoon movie.
ReZourceman Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 But they're 13. I'm not into that Woops, can you remove my thanks. I mis-read it.
Daft Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Why is there a 'new trailers' thread and a movie news thread? Surely new trailers are movie news.
