    No, not The Last Airbender.
    Movie has enough hype as it is...
    Release Date: December 18, 2009

    Wikipedia plot is in the spoilers.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%282009_film%29
    Below is a longer trailer, couldn't find it on youtube.

    I gotta say, this movie looks pretty damn beautiful to me.
    Parts of it seem a little cliche, like
    the guy falling in love with the princess who just happens to be the "enemy"
    I don't really like how they made humans so obviously evil. They didn't give the marines a mission with the hidden objective of stealing the land. Just "This is the Na'vi, they're really hard to kill." I hope it doesn't end with Jake living in his Avatar forever among the Na'vi, either. Way too predictable.


    So far, I'm hearing mixed reviews. Someone even said the marines were Halo ripoffs lol
    This is one of the few movies, though, I'm really looking forward to.
    I don't recognize any of the cast, so the movie feels fresh. I know the Sam Worthington was hired because he was relatively unknown and has had no major roles. Although, I think I saw McGee from NCIS in it...
    and Michael Jackson driving the helicopter


    Supposedly this movie already has a couple of adaptions, a novel for example, and even a video game.



    By the way, this is the reason The Last Airbender couldn't be called Avatar.



    EDIT: Does this give anyone else a Magic the Gathering feeling?
