Avatar Is Overrated

August 21. 2009

I saw the trailer for James Cameron's forthcoming film "Avatar" and it is quite overrated, considering he claimed he created a new "fusion" camera system just for the movie that would change the way films are made.

Smurfs anyone?

However, looking at the trailer and accompanying publicity stills, it doesn't look much different than the processes used to make films like "Beowulf" or "The Chipmunks." Sorry, but that's how it looks to me. He behaved as though this thing would be celluloid on crack.
