If it’s true that a movie can become so over-hyped that it affects our view of the film, then James Cameron‘s massively-pre-praised Avatar is going to have to really be amazing to live up to our expectations. Already we’ve seen many people let down by our first glimpse of the movie in its debut teaser trailer, but now we have a full-length theatrical trailer to watch and really see whether excitement blooms or skepticism rules on. Once again, all of these trailers won’t be able to fully present the IMAX Digital 3-D format the movie is specifically being built for, so you have to imagine it as big as big can be and as personally enveloping as movies can get.
The trailer has a lot of things we’ve seen before, but with an extra minute or so of footage, you’ll certainly see some new goodies. It seems the real concern is still the Na’vi and if you love or hate their look, but overall, imagining in the above-stated IMAX format, you can see how this will without doubt be a dreamscape of never-before-seen visual treats. If the movie hits on all entertainment levels, then we really are looking at an amusement park ride of a movie-going experience.

It still seems like an extremely disney-fied action movie, rather than decent sci-fi. In fact the plot reminds me of Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest.
I think I’ll wait to rent this one.

I see your point about the story not coming across as particularly hardcore, but it still looks like one for the big screen for me.

I’ll be in the IMAX line for this one. Cameron never seems to let me down.
