Avatar Trailer
Just got around to watching the new Avatar Trailer. It seems interesting that most blogs, news and social media sites on the net dislike the trailer, yet the comments on the news sites (such as slashdot) seem to be generally in favor of the trailer and anticipate the movie. It seemed, for a while, that science fiction movies had gone out of style. I’m glad to see that movies like District 9 are a box office success and investors are making a return on their money. I hope we continue to see original takes on the SciFi genre in the next few years. One of my major problems with the movie industry’s take on the genre is their need to make every SciFi movie an action movie. I rather like some of the older movies that address more philosophical and social issues of dealing with extraterrestrial life or advanced technology, such as Stanley Kubric’s 2001, Contact or many of the Star Trek: TNG episodes.
