this article on how incredibly real this 3d technology is enough, but with james cameron doing it with its budget and the amazing world of Pandora.. it's going to be mind-blowingly amazing

James Cameron talked about AVATAR at E3 this year. He talked about the plot and how they got help from Ubisoft to develop post-production (I assume) graphics.

I'm really looking forward to this... and Battle Angel whenever that comes out.

Here's a really neat Q&A with Cameron:

And another:

And here's a neat showcase of one of the technologies that was used in making the film:

I dunno about you guys, but since I really plan on seeing the movie anyways, I'd rather NOT see ANY trailers or previews for it, that way you're extra blown away.

A number of shots from that 'trailer' are from Koyaanisqatsi.

Hope it's going to be a good movie, but it's a bit early to say...

I'm looking forward to it.


Wait, what exactly is the Uncanny Valley?

Because it's been in post production for over a year. As well as marking Cameron's return to Sci-Fi.

If you're too lazy to read the wiki...

It's a theory that posits that the closer something non-living resembles a living thing, the more it invokes an unconscious disgust response in people. once you hit a certain level of realism, passing the uncanny valley, the disgust response begins to go away until you end up with something that is indistinguishable from a living being.

willpower and discipline!

I've always been strongly against seeing previews for movies i KNOW im going to see, just because SOO many times theres dumb fucking spoiler shots in a trailer, OR the AWE of some badass scene, just won't be there when you've seen it 60million times on a trailer. Just do what i do and plug your ears, close your eyes and make humming sounds till its over!
