Theoretically youre absolutely right, but theres no way I'm not gonna watch that trailer as soon as it comes out... cant withstand the temptation... | ||

Seen in 3D, that would mean everything in the movie -- planets, spaceships, aliens, whatever -- looks totally real in every way. As they stand now, special effects are pretty good, but you've probably noticed something about them usually gives it away. If Avatar really does manage to bridge the uncanny valley that would be a major step forward in film making (well, as far as summer blockbusters are concerned). I'm looking forward to it. Wait, what exactly is the Uncanny Valley? | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

Oh its not lazyness. I just didn't get it even after reading it on wiki. but thanks for the explanation. | ||
