Release: December 18th

Wrapping up this unnecessarily long preview is James Cameron's epic 3D ocular rape-fest Avatar. After Where the Wild Things Are, Avatar is a close second for movies I'd touch inappropriately between now and Christmas. 

Seeing the trailer proved one thing to me: James fucking Cameron is back and he's going to destroy us with awesome. Sure I had my problems with what I saw, but I'll never count Cameron out just because of a little overhyping. The action looks like true James Cameron and history has shown that this dude knows how to make a damn awesome action film. Even his low rent stuff like True Lies is full of some of the best action you can find, not to mention the perfection that is Aliens, and Terminator 2.

This may be the one movie to sell me on 3D, according to everyone who is reporting that 'This is 3D done right'. I hate gimmicky bullshit, but from what I'm hearing, the 3D is used only to immerse you further into the story and not have you flinching at rock flying at you or dogs sneezing on you.

Closing the fall out, Avatar looks to be one of the best action movies of the year. Well, not that Terminator: Salvation, Wolverine, or GI Joe are any competition, but Avatar will certain crush them under a rain of empty machine gun shells.
