Come one, come all – the long-awaited trailer for James Cameron’s much buzzed-about ***Avatar *](Avatar (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)**has finally arrived online over at Apple. The debut trailer – which is the first footage from the film to be shown to a mass audience outside a convention-like atmosphere – is part of a larger marketing push for the film this week, which includes the release of several new photos (see gallery below) and a special presentation of an extended 16-minute trailer in 3D to be screened at IMAX theaters across the globe tomorrow.
In the meantime, though, prepare to feast your eyes on what some say is a film that could change the way we watch film. The big-budgeted sci-fi flick follows a paraplegic war veteran (Sam Worthington) who is unwillingly sent to the distant planet of Pandora to help establish a human settlement. It’s there that he’ll find himself in the midst of a battle between humans and the planet’s indigenous Na’vi race. Tack on marvelous, out-of-this-world special effects – coupled with 3D like you’ve never seen it below – and you get the most anticipated film of 2009 that no one seems to know anything about.
Enough babbling … watch the trailer right over here and then let us know what you think. Does ***Avatar ***](Avatar (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)look like it can live up to the hype? The film drops in theaters on December 18.
