The 1st trailer of the new Cameron movie is out - I haven't seen any thread about this yet. Looks well done.

:nerd:
Hope it's good since there is so little sci fi, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
Is all of it CG or just the space and alien bits? I couldn't tell. :blush: Pretty impressive.
While impressed with the technical aspects, I am not exactly positive about the plot. Cameron's statements have implied, to me, that he's only doing this to push the envelope in terms of technology--an indicator, to me, that the plot is going to get short shrift.
I'll probably still see it, but likely just at a dollar theater or something.
Saw the trailer in the theater. Looks stoopid. James Cameron hasn't been sane since before Titanic.
Saw the trailer in the theater, before Glorious Bastards. Looks great, but too Warcraft-like for my taste. Hope the story is good.
Well, it looks like a movie made for GalCiv2.
It looks like a human colony ship reached the world of those weir things.
They started landing in shuttles from orbit.
Then, the humans in wheelchairs, had their coinciences transfered into captured wild blue people, so they could walk again and breathe the atmosphere of that planet without mechanical aid.
The blue people seem to be regarded as not an inteligent specie by human standards.
Then, human turned blue, learn to live with the native-blues, and native-blues go to war with humans.
Blue humans had hard time chosing wheather side with their human brothers or with the blue savages.
Humans are colonialist-imperialist-capitalist pigs, blue people are cool natives that don't even have money.
Humans bad, natives good.
Blue humans join natives, and defeat bad non-blue humans.
The End.
What do you think?
Did I get it right?
What? this anime, its terrible.
Why dont they get around to making live action bebop instead?

Indeed. Any sci fi is good we're so starved.
Are the people computer graphics? They look it sometimes but others...not...I'm hopeful though.
Oohh, wrong avatar is it? How many avatars can they be making at one time?
In any event, this premise does look a bit bad. District 9 more than sated my desire for a wonderful sci fi film.
looks very :nerd: core. also looks like a cutscene for Half-Life 4 or something.
I'm confused. Is this supposed to be fantasy or sci-fi? We've got robot soldiers, ultra-cybered-up soldiers, space ships, floating islands, and fields of "magic sparklies..." I'm having a harder time pinpointing where I should stand on this than the Persian envoy to Leonidas in 300. :huh:

It's a great sci fi film.

um why can't it be both? :unsure:
I saw the trailer before Basterds, and I thought it looked pretty cool. Although humans, even xenocidal are always going to be more sympathetic than the aliens they're exterminating.
