Parky Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Shut the fuck up and listen... This will be the movie of the year and no messing. http://www.avatarmoviezone.com/ http://www.surrealaward.com/avatar/imagevideo/avatarconcept001b.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Jim Cameron screened 24 minutes of footage from Avatar at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam last night, moistening fanboy panties the world over. THR reports the budget at $300 million, which would make it the most expensive film ever. Though earlier this year, Time Magazine reported the budget as “in excess of $300 million” only to later recant and say they meant “in excess of $200 million.” Hard to say whether THR was basing their numbers on the incorrect Time report or whether they have figures of their own. Anyway, /Film collected some reactions to the footage reported anonymously to other websites (yes, we went there. welcome to the internet). Set phasers to “breathless”: “The Insider” files his (1,000+ word) report on ComingSoon: “3-D until now has been used as a gimmick. I’m still feeling the after effects of this jaw-dropping experience… These creatures seem so real, that within minutes you forget you’re watching an enormous and very blue CGI character. Even the eyes are totally convincing. The characters have real personalities and a soul.” “Anonymous” over on IESB: “If it’s anything like the scenes I saw, it’s going to be one of the best movies of the decade.” GJKooijman on Twitter: “is mindblown” “Avatar will change movie industry forever.” … “It’s nothing you can imagine, it’s real. Cameron made a new planet and took a cam there.” … “THIS WILL CHANGE MOVIES FOREVER. Trust me, it will.” UCSNord: “Cameron told audience each frame of finished film takes 30-50 hrs to render, then double that up for 3D.” [Hmm... Let's say the film is 100 minutes long (and it's longer than that) - that's 6,000 seconds. Multiplied by 24 frames per second, that's 144,000 frames. Times 100 hours per frame, that's 14.4 million hours of rendering. That means the film should be ready to go in almost 1,644 years. I wonder if it will still be considered science fiction then.] http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/06/avatar-footage-from-cinexpo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Yep, can't wait for this film. Loved the trailer although it won't do it justice until seeing it on the big screen. Apparently people seeing the recent 15 minute preview in cinemas over the past few days had their minds blown, the detail and whole experience was amazing. Still a while off but I'll be like a giddy schoolgirl when it releases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Is there an Imax in the North east ? This is probably a film worth seeing on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Is there an Imax in the North east ? This is probably a film worth seeing on it. Not at the moment but I remember reading recently that the cinema in the Metro Centre is going to get an IMAX screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Judging by the premise, it looks like a complete rip-off of Weekend at Bernies 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 From that trailer it looks a bit, well, shit really. Might just be the jerkiness of the stream, but the effects don't look much of a step up from that dodgy Final Fantasy film from a good few years back. In fact, the battle scenes don't look as good as those from Attack of The Clones. This just looks like the latest over-hyped movie, gathering speed by all the secrecy around it - the latest Cloverfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 CGI looks pretty bad. Almost as bad as 'I Am Legend'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 That looks fucking shite. I'm sick of these god awful cartoons, make a proper film for once you cocks!! "From the director of Titanic" tells you all you need to know about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 "From the director of Titanic" tells you all you need to know about this. In fairness, a lot of Cameron's work is pretty fucking awesome. Especially his earlier stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially his earlier stuff. Yeah, but if they're advertising this using his most mundane, middle-of-the-road, putrid, slushy, steaming shit-pile of a "movie" (I won't call it a film), then you know just what their target market is and therefore just how bad it's going to be. Having had a quick refresher on imdb there's only really the Terminator films and Aliens that are genuinely stand-out stuff. He has a huge reputation, but I'm not that sure why.

Keefaz Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Avatar will be a game changer. Films will never be the same again. Sounds rubbish, tbh. Taking us ever further away from movies that are actually well-written, and have interesting characters and storylines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Apparently the story is very interesting as well. Most people who are "in the know" about this kind of thing seem to think it's going to be one the defining movies of the decade both technically and creatively, so we'll see. Declaring it as lacking character depth simply because it is a 3D movie is a bit ridiculous; the likes of Toy Story, Wall-E etc. show that CGI-prominent movies can still push beyond the technical side of things by delivering in terms of the story side as well.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Cameron has made some stone wall classics and i'm filing Avatar as an "Opening Weekend visit". There's not been many of them this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever. At a time when 99% of Hollywood films are fucking shit and getting worse, I'd like to see some TIME and EFFORT put into writing and developing decent films instead of throwing MONEY at them and hoping it works.

tmonkey Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Looks fun. Is this coming out on the Playstation 4 or will it be an Xbox 360 II exclusive? The giant Bug level looks alot better than Gears of War 2 and the rock monster. Hopefully there'll be Co-op. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
