I've seen the trailers. Doesn't look like something that would interest me. Looks to have the requisite, calculated, pseudo-deep dialogue, and tough guy bravado in place. You can just about hear what the next line is going to be - many of them seemingly written specifically with quotable catch phrase in mind.
I'm also not a fan of CGI characters in a live action setting i.e; Jar Jar & Gollum. They look just like what they are - drawings added to live action. Fine on their own, but distracting when placed out of their drawn world. Truthfully, I don't really care for CGI films in general. Films using CGI to enhance a scene (the way matte paintings used to) are fine, I'm all for that. However, I don't care for things like Transformers, the last two Star Wars prequels, 300, etc - films that almost look like Pixar pieces.
Now, all that said - to paraphrase Oprah Winfrey - here's what I know for sure; James Cameron must be a huge Roger Dean fan. The film looks like it takes place within a Roger Dean world. Being a HUGE Yes nerd for the past 35 years, I'm intimately familiar with Dean's work. The similarities in Avatar jumped out to me almost as soon as the trailer started. Where that part of the film is concerned, it's nice to see Roger Dean's world realized.

With God as my witness, Roundabout just came on the radio as I was previewing this post before hitting "post reply". Very fitting.
