I re-watched in 1080p and it definitely looks better this time. Yeah, it's a cartoony look but it still looks fantastic.

Okay this is probably the most ridiculous comparison I've heard in this thread so far. Disctrict 9, I can understand, the movie is fresh and people are fanboys.

But, Advent Children? This shit wasn't even up to Blizzard or Blur standard. This is Weta, and not only the animation kicked ass (no stupid jerky movement a-la-Polar Express), but the lighting and shading were unbelievable.

Well I can't compare it to District 9, because haven't seen that movie yet.

But what I actually meant was that Avatar feels like a CGI movie to me, like what FFAC is. I didn't mean to compare it to FFAC directly just the feeling of watching a full-CGI movie. I only mentioned FFAC because that's the last CGI movie (the Blu-ray version)I've seen.
 
I keep picturing certain members in this thread reacting like this.

Anyway! I wasn't mind-blown, to be honest. The CGI looked great of course, but the problem is that, well, it looked like CGI. I'm going to the preview tomorrow though, so I'll wait until then to form any early opinion.
 
Ugh, getting a url is not valid error when I click the hd links.

Who gives a fuck if it "looks CG"
...of course it does. The point is, it's some of THE MOST convincing CG I've honestly witnessed thus far


It's just completely on another level.
 
Can someone please give me a direct link to the 720p trailer? I can't get them to play from any of the links on apple.com

edit: nvm found it
 
Without a doubt, this will be THE Sci-Fi Action movie of this Generation. I can already envisage it's glory as an epic classic in the future.
 
Looked like the Spirits Within, with live actors replacing the soulless gazes of cg ones. The blue things looked okay. I think the fakeness of all the settings will make them seem more convincing. It looks like a movie I'd enjoy. The cg doesn't look bad, but I wasn't blown away by that preview. I've seen similar in the 3rd Matrix (the mechs actually looked better in Matrix), the new Star Wars trilogy (the backdrops had the same 'this is cg' look as the trailer'), and as mentioned TSW.

But that's you. It is NOT the most convincing CG I've ever seen. Looks Effin' great.. but nowhere near convincing.
 
OK, finally watched it in 720p and really, I have no idea how anyone can watch this and not feel ultra-hyped as I do right now.

We at GAF are pretty well-informed regarding the movie and all the pre-trailer hype and stuff, so I guess it's easy to feel... wait, I don't guess at all, it just looks epic and awesome.

Just IMAGINE if there had been no warning, no hype, no nothing until now and the trailer had just hit the internets out of nowhere.

Like, WOW.

Uh, what? How does it look convincing? More convincing than Gladiator?

This honestly doesn't look any more "convincing" than the Smiths fight in Matrix:Reloaded.

The movie still looks great, though.

Well, I dunno about that. Its CG does look amazing. My gripe is that it's just not integrated that well with the actors, which was the selling point of the movie. Even the mechs look like obvious CGI (e.g., the scene where he's coming off the landing craft with his wheelchair, the mech on the left looks awful). I was expecting a new paradigm of CG with this movie but it basically looks like a standard CG-driven summer blockbuster.

What i'm saying ...I dunno, it's the "human" element of the Navi that makes it so convincing for ...and that's just from mere snippets. Sure they look "out there' but it's still all highly evocative for me.

Indeed the only other pure CG creature I can think of that was that "alive" was probably Gollum
 
Still, dissapoitment aside with the actual Na'vi (and thats pretty much limited to their bodies, I mean, look at the hair in the above pic, that looks great), really can't wait to see this, movie event of the year.
 
I just thought If this trailer was release without saying who is directing it. And movie was made by some other director would you still consider it great trailer and get hype for the movie?
 
Looks absolutely fantastic. Artistically it looks beautiful. It is still very obviously CG...but its convincing enough that it is slightly disturbing. The alien designs are so absolutely absurd (in a good way) that it's still uncanny valley pretty much by default. Even so though this looks amazing.
