Avatar scenes:
Let me break it down for you: On Friday August 21st, James Cameron did something cool. On top of dropping a trailer this week, he also did Avatar Day. Around the nation IMAX theaters were given the opportunity to show off a few select scenes from his new Science Fiction epic, Avatar.
I'm going to break down each scene for you as they appeared and make some conjecture about how the plot had unfolded at that point.
Before the film began James Cameron came on screen and gave us a small primer about the film and also made sure to emphasize that the scenes were all from the first half of the film, so in his words "no spoilers".
Scene one:
This was a scene fairly early. It shows a military leader in front of a group of soldiers on Pandora. This leader(I don't remember if he was a general or a captain or something) explains that it his job to protect them but that he will fail, that a number of them will die. We then see our main protagonist roll in and we are to infer he is a disable vet(? He might still be soldier). He also gives some info on the Na'Vi.
Scene two:
We watch Jake and a doctor/scientist played by Sigorney Weaver place Jake into his new Avatar body. We also get to see Jake try out his new body and flee the compound out into Pandora.
Scene three:
Jake(in Avatar form) and several others(including Sigorney) in Avatar form are hunting. Jake plays chicken with one of the coolest effects creatures you will ever see and Eventuality it backs down because a much more vicious creature shows up and chases Jake into the forest.
Scene four:
Jake is trapped fighting a bunch of small creatures, having seemingly been seperated from the military. and is saved by a female Na'vi who then has a short conversation about the value of life with.
Scene five:
This scene indicates that Jake has joined together with a tribe of Na'vi with said girl and it indicates they are a further human evolution. but really the scene is Jake wrangling a flying alien creature, somehow he uses some fibers in his hair to link into the creature and he becomes tame, He then has to fly and we get some impressive visuals.
Now these descriptions may not sound that exciting but trust me when I tell you that IMAX 3-D is the only way to see this film. The teaser trailer(all of whoms footage was included at different parts of the presentation) doesn't even compare to when you see it like this.
I'm starting to spread the word and build the buzz(which I'm sure was their plan) because this is the movie everyone needs to see this year(and they need to be seen in true IMAX 3-D, not things like recently install FauxMax or SmallMax that say IMAX but really the screen is the same size).
I hope ya'll will enjoy the adventure as must as I expect we will.
As a note, Avatar form is when a human mind is deposited into a Na'Vi body.
Post Note: I've read some opinions of people who only saw the comicon footage(2-D version of the footage, and slightly longer) and people who've seen the teaser trailer. a number have said they were underwhelmed. These people really need to see the footage in IMAX 3-D to truly appreciate it. If I took 25 minutes from various points in the first half of the Dark Knight, I bet I could get you to think it was underwhelming too. So don't let the naysayers discourage you gentle viewers, get ready and be excited, this movie is going to blow you away.
