Does it look impressive, yeah, totally. Does it look 100% real, no. It’s like…..97%...maybe 98%.....which is what all the other movies are at (I could see a couple scenes that totally trick your eye and look 100% real, but not everything). Sure maybe no one’s done THIS MUCH 98% real stuff on screen at once, but once you put in those 100% actually real humans next to the 98% real creatures/Navi/Backdrops, just makes the uncanny valley even deeper. This thing’s gotta rely on it’s story if it wants a chance, then again, maybe James Cameron is going the Michael Bay route and just saying F*K IT, if I blow enough shit up people will pay!
Game changer? No. Something different instead of all these fucking licensed properties like Land of the Lost and monopoly? Yes.
Honestly I have to admit that the CG aliens do NOT look photo realistic - but - Cameron is trying something different so I have to give him props for that. He should not have hyped it up to the degree that he did though. He's getting retaliation and gee, I wonder why.
