Just me? WELL TIME WILL TELL.
I'm first to call the "Hey, The Na'vi all look like genetic clones of Brendan Fraser" quip.
Brendan Fraser. Na'vi. See it. True.

@CodenameV: in the Avatar Day footage she leans way over and before she gets up...I've seen everything...

1) I remember this great comic book in which a girl, having just been turned into a mermaid, discovered that even she was topless, her hair would actually fall into place very properly, and in any situation.
2) I once wore a bustier. I had to pull it up the whole day, it was horrid. I never noticed my hair to try anything modest-y then.
3) Why do I keep seeing half-naked women in films, even in digital ones, and I never catch a glimpse of male genitalia? Really?

I'll reserve judgment until I see it in 3D in the theaters. Then it will be Judgment Day.
..you know, like in T2. Cause James Cameron directed it.
"I'll be back!" "Hasta la vista, baby!"
...bah, you kids and your noisy Hondas and Nintendo Wii's, you don't know nuthin'...

None of them really seem like the quantum leap forward that it's being hyped as.

I just don't get what all the fuss is about the technical "innovation" when to me it doesn't look like the new technology produces more convincingly rendered or integrated characters.

and it's always down to the desingers and artists to determine what something looks like...I go through this all the time at work, I think it's wrong or looks bad, but it's 'what the director/producer/studio wants'...

They look too real, and don't move real enough. They're right in the Uncanny Valley.

Hoping springs eternal though, maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Look, I get it, Cameron wants to re-do Dances with Wolves with furry catperson sex, and the CG is pretty slick, but could we stop trying to hail this as some sort of super-original sci-fi epic and recognize it as the derivative generic scifi story that it is?

Its not a "Cloverfield monster" of blandness and overhype, more a general lack of imagination. (or fear the public wont associate well with things too unhuman...which of course, is nonsense).
