Bursting with the energy of invention, James Cameron’s technological epic Avatar shows us how stories will be told in the future, in turn giving us a story to tell the moment we see it. To tell our friends what they missed or have yet to witness – computer-generated beings sweating in fear and crying in heartbreak and cursing in tongues that don’t exist on this planet, or in this solar system.

For a film built on discovery, it only seems appropriate that the plot should echo that of legendary John Smith and his exploration of the New World, which resulted in his love for it and for Pocahontas, its first daughter. Read the full story

With approach only two weeks (two weeks!) away from James Cameron’s return to narrative film making in the form of Avatar, promotion has started to pick up for the 3D sci fi epic. The latest batch comes in the form of two new clips that have cropped up online. The first features Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) discussing the Avatar program and the main objective of their mission with Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver). The clip comes from MSN (via LatinoReview) and can be viewed below:

The day has finally come. James Cameron has returned to science fiction with Avatar. After months of hearing exciting praise from tremendous filmmakers (Ridley Scott) and hearing the notable reaction from Comic Con, general audiences have been able to enter the world of Pandora. 20th Century Fox just unveiled sixteen minutes of 3D footage across the world in IMAX theaters. If you got the chance to check out the footage then you surely know that watching the trailer on a computer screen doesn’t do the film justice.

My hopes and expectations for Avatar were quite grounded while walking into theater. It was a fact that the footage would be undoubtedly impressive, but I wasn’t expecting anything to be mind blowing. That expectation was met. This may not be the revolutionary film that many were/are hoping for, but it is a huge step forward. There are many tremendous aspects such as the non-gimmicky use of 3D.  It’s not distracting and objects are not constantly being thrown at you. This is definitely the first film to fully use 3D to enhance and add detail to the film. Cameron also seems to have taken motion capture to a whole new level.

Over at Latino Review a new poster for James Cameron’s Avatar has premiered.  The poster is similar to the one we saw of Sam Worthington’s character’s face while inhabiting the body of his avatar, which in the film is how his character, a crippled marine named Jake Sully, can move around on the planet of Pandora.  The poster here appears to be Zoe Saldana’s Na’vi (the alien race in the movie) character of Neytiri.  The poster is below:

I’m really enthusiastic about the look of this.  One of the things I really like is the similarities between how the two characters look from the separate posters, even though the character of Jake Sully is not inhabiting an actual Na’vi, there’s a great similarity between the two characters from what we’ve seen of them.  I also love that they’re starting to market this movie to the more mainstream crowd who doesn’t even know what this is.  Part of this is contained in the “From the director of Titanic” credit at the top.  I’m curious to see at this point how they’ll try and sell this movie, but I think we’re getting an idea by promotional events such as Avatar Day.  Avatar is right now my most anticipated movie of the year, and I can’t wait to see it when it comes out December 18, 2009.

What do you think of this poster, and are you excited for Avatar?

After a lackluster summer kick off with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a worthy summer movie has been delivered. Star Trek is a return to form for the beloved series, it makes up for Star Trek: Nemesis. This isn’t exactly “smart” entertainment and it does feature more than a few conveniances and plot wholes, but it still rises above the standard summer movie formula.

Star Trek shows the early days of Captain James T. Kirk and the USS Enterprise crew members. The film centers around James T. Kirk who starts out lost and without a path, but after being recruited by Captain Pike, after enlisting in star fleet and has found his true destiny. Starting off clashing with the uptight logical Spock, they soon must work together to strive through danger. As the romulan Nero threatens the future they know, they must band together to foil his plans.
