So Apple's movie trailer site
Apple - Movie Trailers has a countdown to the TEASER trailer of Avatar. Not a real trailer, but a teaser trailer. Is Avatar supposed to be that special of a movie that the TEASER trailer is that eagerly awaited?

According to Cameron and his geek followers, yes. According to them, you will mark the years by "before Avatar" and "after Avatar." It is the movie that we've been waiting for. It is the movie all filmmaking technology in history has been moving towards.
According to them. I, personally, am more than a little cynical and doubt that Cameron has anything left in the tank, as it were.

Anyone know what it's supposed to be about?
All I know is the toys look like Sigma 6 knock offs and there's a guy in a wheelchair |

The guy in the wheelchair apparently goes into some kind of machine that puts his mind into an 'Avatar,' a genetically engineered body of a tall blue-skinned humanoid alien. Humans apparently want the resources of the aliens' (called Na'vi...pointless apostrophes are always a warning sign of poor writing/imagination, if you ask me, so that's already got me on guard about it) home planet. And so I guess his job is to help them get it. Or something. I mean, if you can't see where the plot is going to go, just based on what I just posted...and I haven't read the script or plot summaries or anything, just kind of absorbed this from the film sites...well then I dunno what to tell you.

So it's a message movie about plundering natural resources?
And I agree about the apostrophes.

The trailer is looking good so far. I'm officially excited about this movie.

I thought the trailer revealed two things:
1. A really obvious story we've all seen before. 2. CGI that was in no way groundbreaking. Even watching it in HD, I thought it was pretty mediocre.

Apple - Trailers - James Cameron's Avatar
The trailer has some nice imagery. I can already see it being a very message heavy movie. I agree about the cliche story. In a nutshell: Man loves his world. Goes to spy on the natives. Goes native because they are all peaceful and environmentally nice and all that jazz. Original world leaves. End of story.
