Exactly. You don't believe it, because you've never seen anything like it in the real world.
As far as the aging clip goes, seems pretty decent, but there's a little too much "dirt", imo.
I don't buy that, the aliens from district 9 looked closer to what I'd call "photorealistic" and they arent anything I have seen either.

your comments are echoed by almost everyone over on IMDb that claim to have seen the IMAX preview. I have not but am glad to hear that the 2D internet trailer doesnt do the film justice.
Thanks for the info TMBTM!

I've tried watching 3D movies with the red/blue glasses and I couldn't even see the picture properly, might have something to do with one eye being weaker than the other, and even when I went to see My Bloody Valentine 3D at the movies all the RealD 3D glasses did for me was stabilize the picture.
It's only August but tickets for James Cameron's much-hyped 3D sci-fi movie Avatar, which is scheduled to open on December 18, have already cone on sale. The Hollywood Reporter said that tickets for the midnight premiere at 75 AMC locations, most of them featuring IMAX 3D screens, are now available through online ticketers MovieTickets.com and Fandango. "Tickets being put on sale for a film four months in advance is unheard of," MovieTickets executive vice president Joel Cohen told the trade publication. "The fact that tickets have already been sold really speaks to the tremendous buzz the film has already created and the power of James Cameron at the box office." Fox distribution exec Chris Aronson said that it was AMC's idea to put the tickets on sale -- even before the chain had a rental deal for the movie -- after seeing fans pack the theaters for a free 16-minute preview of Avatar. "They said that if all these people are going to come to our theater to see 16 minutes of a film that doesn't open until December, let's give them an opportunity to buy tickets to the first performances of the show itself." û
This is the return of J.C on earth (well on Pandora more exactely)!Frantic Canadian said:Why is this movie getting so much hype? Is it because it's based on some much loved sci-fi novel or is it just because it's James Cameron's return to sci-fi?
JasonN said:I thought the rumors that James Cameron had ripped off the CG crapfest Delgo to make Avatar were pretty laughable, but this post on Topless Robot about the 1959 novella Call Me Joe by Poul Anderson definitely raises my curiousity:

If it's true, then Cameron might be in for one hell of a lawsuit after Avatar arrives in theaters. :roll:[/quote too
I saw that too. That's pretty f#*ked up right there.
