Cameron's "Avatar"

[AnorexicBatman]

Avatar isn't original. The only ABSOLUTE new concept is the fact that the protagonist is literary placing himself in the shoes of another creature to get over his dissability

The rest is Pocahontas Adventures in Pandora

 

[BlackLantern]

well the universe and characters are original and barely that...the human dropships look like the ones from Halo minus the propellors....the story is something we have all seen in one form or another before

 

[SatEL]

Y'know... seeing crap like this makes me think some of the film-geek community deserve nothing but remakes, nothing original.

"Oh, those guys in the new movie has blue skin, like a Smurf! So, he like a Smurf? Thats funny!"

Relax.

 

[Reek]

i was looking forward to this...until i saw the trailer on drudgereport.com and uh...looks kinda stupid, and the special effects dont look revolutionary by any means. looks like a video game rip off.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

I want a Halo movie now.

LOL do you even know what inspired Halo's dropship design?

I want a Halo movie now.

setting?? during the games? before? after? I feel like talking Halo...must find the old Halo movie thread

 

[BlackLantern]

Aliens...I get its not ripping off when its your own work

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Also, Mass Effect, Thundercats, Zelda etc.
A Mass Effect movie by JJ Abrams would be cool.

 

[xmangambit]

I'll answer it anyway. James Cameron and his Dropship designs from Aliens, so basically we gone full circle, without Cameron you wouldn't have half of these movies today!

Zelda should be done by Studio Ghibli and NOBODY else!

 

[Reek]

zelda should be done by peter jackson. period.

 

[Reek]

and i mentioned this a long time ago....a mass effect movie would be ****ing gold...with someone like cameron helming it....and done right...could be a huge epic with tons of awards...and one hell of a box office.

My brother has two tickets to see the advance screening of this movie today. He is taking my little brother with him to B-More to see it

The whole film or the 15 minutes?

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Tell us if your eyes popped out of your sockets and did the macarena with joy on seeing the film

The whole movie apparently. He has a friend who got him the tickets.

I am not going to see it I have to work its my two little brothers who are.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

I hope your brothers have good command over the English language and a fantastic memory then.
Because they will have to describe the movie in great detail for us.

I wonder. Will the film scare children?

 

[Silver Knight]

Truth. Was the toy line revealed today like it was ment to?

 

[BlackLantern]

someone earlier called Terminator Salvation a toy commercial?? and this movie has toys too?? at least James Cameron is consistent with the ****ing of movie merch

Im still waiting on my Harry Tasker with the kung fu grip

 

[Steyin]

I'm surprised no one else has caught onto this.

In this story, the humans are the aliens, not the Na'vi.

Its not an hard concept to grasp, but I find it sort of boring/cliche/overdone.

Looks amazing. A combination of,Dark Crystal,Exo Squad and Robotech !!!

As a huge Robotech fan, I saw nothing reminiscent of it in the trailer.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

I want my full sized Neyteri blow up doll... um.. to play with... yes... play...

 

[The Squirrel]

I wish I was playing the same video games some of you guys are. Because if you can call the graphics a "rip off" you got one sweet system.

 

[TNC9852002]

Why isn't this thread a sticky yet?

EDIT: and it's true. In the best shots of the trailer, there's no game that exists that looks that good..
