Right there w/ya Hobbs. Seen/heard way too much already. I was pissed after I watched the last featurette All I'll say is that I'm totally ready to see this movie. 12/18 can't get here soon enough!
20th Century Fox has unleashed a new featurette for James Cameron's upcoming sci-fi epic Avatar courtesy of IGN Movies. The adventure stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Matt Gerald, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Peter Mensah, Laz Alonso, Wes Studi and Stephen Lang. Director James Cameron wrote the screenplay.
You can check out the new clip, titled "Human Hardware", here.
Plot Concept: The story's hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Bitter and disillusioned, he's still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth fighting for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been recruited to join an expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining for a mineral worth $20 million per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their work, the humans use a link system that projects a person's consciousness into a hybrid of humans and Pandora's indigenous humanoids, the Na'vi. This human-Na'vi hybrid – a fully living, breathing body that resembles the Na'vi but possesses the individual human's thoughts, feelings and personality – is known as an "avatar."
In his new avatar form, Jake can once again walk. His mission is to interact with and infiltrate the Na'vi with the hope of enlisting their help – or at least their acquiescence – in mining the ore. A beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, albeit reluctantly, because even in his avatar body, Jake represents to her the human encroachment on the Na'vi's unspoiled world.
As Jake's relationship with Neytiri deepens, along with his respect for the Na'vi, he faces the ultimate test as he leads an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.
Avatar will hit theaters December 18, 2009.

The last clip hardly gave away anything, if you went to Avatar Day & watched the previews that have been on TV. Had a few seconds of footage that wasn't in the AD material or the previews since then. This one didn't give away much in terms of plot, but had a lot of technical info on the machinery and weaponry of the movie. I'm still watching all the material. Given the length of most JC movies, there will still be plenty left come 12/18. Also, even if I see 90% of the movie beforehand, it's still completely different seeing it in 3D on an IMAX screen. That's the biggest thing I took away from Avatar Day.
See, I really have been trying to keep myself in the dark. I've seen one trailer, I think, before I watched that clip the other day. I hadn't seen/heard anything from Avatar Day. So there were some things, in that clip, I wasn't aware of. That's why I was upset. Gonna check it out IMAX 3D at the Palisades Plaza, West Nyack NY. That's the closest IMAX 3D theatre around.
This clip was bad ass! I dont think it gives away anything we havent really seen before. I suggest u guys check it out. It's pretty cool w/ some of the Cameron narratives on the weaponry and vehicles. Cant wait!
Oh hell yeah, this is going to kick major ass. I can't wait for the 18th
Flint, I recommend the AMC Lowes in Lincoln Square (67th and Broadway) if you have to travel to Manhattan for any reason check it out. The best I-Max I know of, some writer even touted it as the best in the country
I refuse to watch anymore clips, waiting for the movie. Someone in the last blog said the last clip gave too much away and I took that warning seriously. It's almost here, I can wait.
