Yes i know that the word Avatar was not invented by game writers but they certainly made it more popular and turned it into an actual character. and before you haters start hating… Yes i know that the word Avatar was not invented by game writers but they certainly made it more popular and turned it into an actual character.

Of course the Na'vi's arent going to look 100% real. Are you expecting them to look exactly like humans but blue? i am excited for this and the trailer looks pretty bad ass but i will say that there are insane similarities to this and video games. 1. The landscapes (mainly the floating land masses of rock on the bottom and forest on top) look almost EXACTLY like some areas in Final Fantasy 11 (the online one). in fact, thats the first thing i noticed when i first saw the trailer. 2. Navi was the name of the fairy that is Links companion throughout Zelda: The Ocarina of Time 3. Avatar has been a common reference in a lot of RPG/Fantasy video games including (yes again) Final Fantasy 11 (and other FF's as well) The blue creatures and even some times the characters remind me of Carbuncle. It seems like the visuals and maybe even some of the story was completely ripped off from Final Fantasy and RPG/adventure games in general.I'll give you harsh critics that. But i'm still gunna be an advocate of the film and go see it. I'm sure it will be amazing just like the hype is saying and you all will wish you put your foot in your mouths for ever bashing it. most ppl are bashing it cuz most ppl are bashing it. i think its become “cool” to be part of the crowd that doesn’t think it looks all that great. if you look at the details like the hair and the backgrounds at the beginning when the protagonist is getting on that aircraft in the beginning, the cgi does look pretty amazing.

I could care less about the CGI in this movie, it looks like a videogame because of the art design, not the technical graphics...yes battlemech robots vs. elves...that is videogame crap (or George Lucas crap)... Not anything I want to see, its a Disney chick flick cartoon...just face it. I'll go see BOOK OF ELI instead. that blue man group jpg looks totally fake. photoshopped, totally cgi.

I ran across that on another site yesterday. One might be able to do that with a lot of movies in comparison shots but It is interesting. I do think it makes the shots look more CG but not sure if would help if it were next to live action comparisons. I am not going to say what I really think of the movie AVATAR.. because I can not... I have not seen it. (no brainer comment) just the the trailer. So I will hold my judgment of the movie as whole till I see it. The trailer and/or the cg effects in the trailer did not blow me away but the movie might. And I hope it does. I have liked most of Cameron's movies and hope this one gets added to the list of likes. rus in chicago-Not sure what it means either but I agree it is interesting.

Nice link Big Hungry. Is Delgo a video game or a cartoon? Either way, it looks pretty damn familiar! Maybe the Navi on the planet ARE actually made of smooth, shiny, blue plastic with no skeletal structure or skin texture to speak of... I mean, they ARE aliens! Jurassic Park for the win. F swarez. http://www.arrowhead.on.ca/images/stories/blue_man_group.jpg Wow.

Was it the big screen or was it that good? Was it the story that pulled me in and made me look past any CG flaws? I did not think it looked that good in the online trailer but in the movie theater it did look sweat. So will the theater experience/3-D improve the effects in AVATAR for me? Only time will tell but today proved to me it can happen with D9. I just saw district 9 and 90-95% of the CG was believable. Was it the big screen or was it that good?

Fantastic CG and the 3D brought the whole thing together. I did not see it on an IMAX screen but I imagine this flick being pretty fucking sweet on that. The 16 minute clip was very good.
