Avatar: The Way of Water

[darthviper107]

1080p trailer for a movie that has nothing going for it but the visuals (which aren’t even anything special these days).

Seriously, what is up with that? Youtube can support 4K HDR and yet trailers are still uploaded at 1080p with crap compression

I don't even know what I was supposed to take from that teaser, it looks like another Avatar movie I guess. I wont be seeing it.

Trailer looks pretty great. I am expecting a lot of negativity after posting it

3 billion dollars opening weekend. Cameron does it again.

The trailer felt exactly like the first movie.

The first one started me on a wonderful journey of 3D discovery at home.

 

[Brett Banner]

Yep. That looks like more Avatar. Not sure what else I was expecting from a trailer but I guess I was expecting *something* new besides just… water.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I see alot of Old Cameron... he's even worked in the hallways and submersible pool from The Abyss.

As everyone noted, it looks like the same movie. Nature vs Machine.

Avatar is like ET -- a good movie that was immensely popular in its day but that hardly anyone watches multiples. It has no longevity.

Would've bought a Hot Toys Neytiri back in the day. Much like the film, the technical execution is what would've made the figure worthwhile.

12 years of innovation later, I don't know that a new film or a new figure can hit as hard anymore.

I just can't watch a whole movie about blue people with sticks.

Holy crap dude I almost burst out a laugh

I caught the end battle with the blue hero and the evil old white guy mech. I had to turn it after a minute or two it was so bad. I almost did this:

That's a very good point. The teaser trailer for the first film was pretty much the same, all visuals and nothing else. This has no wow factor so far.

It's a perfectly cromulent cartoon or video game, but nothing about it looks like an actual movie to me.

Yeh, apart from the finer details this feels like a video game.

The Na'vi irritate me... I don't like the design and the 'noble savage' trope has been done to death. So has the 'white saviour' trope.

A quarter billion dollars buys you "This family is our fortress".

I'd def play 'Assassin's Creed: Pandora' tho.

They did announce a game last year:



The problem is you can only play as a Blue Space Cat IIRC. It could still be fun.

As for the flick itself, I may actually go watch it in the theatres. I like colourful and sunny worlds with lots of water. Not seeing anything that grabs my interest in the sense that it's making me go "AVATAR, **** YEAAAAAAA-", but it's got some really cool looking water. And that's a plus for me.

I heard that the white villains urinate in the water to drive out the blue people.

Game looks like a better experience than the movie tbh...

I saw Avatar twice in the cinema, once as 3D the other 2D. First time was great, the second time was a bore-fest - without the spectacle it had nuthin. I felt the same way about Titanic. Second time I saw it was painfully obvious what a dud story it was.

They devise a special method so that they can urinate oil and do double the pollution!

I never went to watch Avatar in the theatres. It just looked... eh. I remember the iphone and console games being pretty cool though.

The game itself could be fun. Even the flick could be a nice breath of fresh air with some beautiful visuals. At this point, this might be good enough.

That's... the way of water.

Dune and Avatar.... so opposite, yet potentially so much the same.

Sand and Sea

Surf and Turf

Sand + Sea = Beach

I don't want to go back and rewatch it because then I'll get hit by massive nostalgia waves and brood for a week...
