All hail James Cameron for obsessing over yet another film. As promised, to the left is an image from his Avatar. Not a whole heck of a lot, but at least it shows some of the set.
For those not already in the know, Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine (Sam Worthington) who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms.
Although Cameron is using brand new technology with this film, Devin Farci from CHUD.com had some reactions to the 24 minutes shown at Comic-Con today.
This is an evolutionary jump, not a revolutionary leap. Avatar left my eyes unfucked. I didn’t experience movies in a whole new way, and nothing I saw on screen left me feeling more than impressed. What the movie represents is someone putting real money into the current CGI and mocap tech and shoving it an extra step forward.
I’m sure it’ll still be a fun ride when it opens in theaters Dec. 19.
