I don't know about you all, but this has been my MOST anticipated movie of the last 4 years. I've been following the production of this (well, as much as I could, it's been kept under some pretty impressively tight wraps) since it was finally announced that Cameron was going to make it. Finally James Cameron is returning to the big screen, with a massive sci-fi epic no less. A lot of hoopla has been surrounding the fact that this movie is like 85-90% CG, all being hyped by Cameron himself as being photorealistic, but the first trailer was met with lackluster reception. It also didn't put the images into any sort of context, as it was just a teaser. This new preview is 3 and a half minutes long and gives you a nice glimpse at the overall story and a lot of the incredible visuals. While some of it may not seem photoreal as promised (you will need to wrap your head around some 10 foot tall blue skinned aliens), A LOT of it does, and they are EASILY the most impressive visuals I have ever seen created for film. When coupled with 3D, this should be a real treat. I know I'll be there opening day in IMAX 3D.

Also, does anyone else agree with me that 3D is getting a bad rap from most people? I personally love it, and have found the films that aren't using it as a gimmick (mainly the pixar films and a couple others), but instead using it to enhance a film, are more enjoyable with it. To me the added depth it gives you feels like I'm actually there IN the movie, as opposed to watching it on a screen. It just immerses me more.
