Severe awesomeness alert ;D

I have to see this in IMAX 3D, which means travelling for 1,5 hour, but I'm sure it will be worth it!

I've seen some shots of the game. It looks cool also.

I'm usually wary of something that looks like sorta "real" animation.  But, this looks pretty good all around.

You mean, something that tries to be photoreal (kind of like the Final Fantasy movies)? In that case, I agree with you. The color palette of the trailer looks kind of weird, and the complete lack of story in the trailer leaves me a little skeptical about what might be in the movie.

You're talking about the "uncanny valley" I think :)

My guess is that it is way from finished. There was hardly sound in it for example, except for the music of course.
Don't know where I've read it but at the moment the CGI and other FX are ~50% finished, also quality-wise.
It is told that this movie will be the next level of 3D experience.

I believe its being released in 3D, so you will have too wear the funny glasses to see the whole Monty.  The CG people do look a little too blue ... so maybe this is a teaser.

@matrix - LOL
@TU and @OB - Yes.  That is what I'm thinking - "Uncanny Valley"

I'll still go see it.   :-[

this isn't a trailer, it's just a teaser.

there was a screening in IMAX 3D last night of about 16 mins of the film, 3 whole scenes plus a sizzle reel like the teaser...

it was INCREDIBLE.

I do this stuff for a living and have a number of friends working on this at Weta...
it's just about the best CG I've ever seen...and even though I don't much like the design of the Na'vi I think it will grow on me when watching the whole film.

Thanks goldfarb.  I might be more looking forward to seeing it now, based on your witness.   ;D

Hmm... well, looks like they just revealed the story of the entire movie.

I'll still go see it for the pretty colors, though :P.
