Anyone else notice that the entire plot was given away in the trailers?

The plot was given away by Dances With Wolves, except that Kevin Costner wasn't sent to secretly infiltrate the Sioux.

The plot to Star Wars was given away in every myth ever. The plot to almost anything can be derived from a Biblical story or Shakespearean play, From The Godfather to The Good the Bad and the Ugly, from Apocalypse Now to American History X to Rashomon.

We get it, it's 'been done'. Every piece of media has been inspired and derived from another piece of media. Now quit complaining about it and go see what will probably be one of the best movies this year, and very easily the most technologically advanced movie ever.

I feel like I just watched the whole movie in 90 seconds now. God previews really shouldn't be watched ever.

Don't worry. The story is predictable, but the execution is what Avatar excels in.

I wonder if this movie will be successful enough to harbor in a new generation of movie styles. I hope so. I'm tired of Die Hard XVI and Saw VIII.

i find this comment really intriguing; i would characterize 2012 in exactly the same way and yet the majority gave that a thumbs down whereas here it looks like the consensus is leaning towards the positive end of the spectrum. guess we gotta wait till it comes out to see!

either way, im a sucker for movies and this one looks great. call it execution vs. predictability, or what have you, i just enjoy being entertained and am glad to give movies the opportunity to do that whenever i can. im looking forward to this one a lot, as the effects sound fantastic, the soundtrack appears solid, and im interested to see what they do with the plot.

Think Titanic.
Very predictable.
Many memorable scenes.

That's a very fair point, nobody I know has even heard of it, while for example the movie batman returns everyone was anticipating much more.

In terms of awareness, Avatar is a new movie with no prior book so of course its going be less known.

In terms of "quality", Avatar is probably the most hyped in a long time or maybe...since SW or TDK
