Saw the Christmas Carol as well. They did show the Avatar Trailer in 3D, but it wasn't as good as Avatar Day. I saw it in Imax which makes a HUGE difference. On a normal screen you have so much black in your peripheral vision where as in Imax the screen is wall to wall and you feel immersed.
I am really surprised about how picky the audience has become. A movie comes along that looks like a great piece of entertainment and all people can do is poo poo it before they have seen it
With so many crap films that Hollywood has been churning out-I would think this to be a breath of fresh air no matter how CG or Unoriginal some might think. I really don't know how you please an audience these days.
Christmas Carol was cool. I think Zemekis spent more time on cinematography than the emotional elements in the film and I wouldnt bring a small child to see it, but the characature-esque animation was cool. Creepy in some parts but impressive in others.
Oh, and what I said about The Dark Knight vs. AVATAR- The reason it seems to lend itself to multiple viewings is because there is so much to look at in the screen. Its a feast for the eyes without being the SW Prequels. CG or not, the landscapes and flora fauna in the movie look spectacular. The bugs, plants, mechs-so much is going on that you can catch a bunch you missed the first time by seeing it again. Of course you can rewatch a movie and find new things but in Batman-what are you going to catch the second time you didnt see the first...another building in the distance
Visually they are completely different. I think Dark Knight tried to stay away from as much CG as they could and used models and such to pull off a lot of the effects.
Just cant wait for Dec 17th to get here. Are there any other movies coming out this holiday season you guys are looking forward to?
One last thing, AVATAR reminds me of the 300. It has a stylized feel to it. A look all its own. One of the reasons for the brightness of the film is because the 3D glasses darken the image and for good 3D the image has to be brighter. Thus, the film has a rather glowing feel to it.

Again I hope it's great. But in the end your opinion and everyone elses is all speculation and not fact. So have a little respect for the other camp too. They are just posting their opinions and I assure you nothing is wrong with them just like nothing is wrong with you.
