6. It Was A Great Challenge For The Leading Man
“Sam is able to create a character that allows you to walk in his shoes.
“He’s so good at communication his emotions without appearing to do anything. It was a very challenging film for him, because he plays part of it as his human self, and part of it through his Avatar – a fleshy character, but played entirely through performance capture.
Why This Makes Us Even More Excited
It's really starting to sink in now - Cameron is creating genuine CGI performances here. Remember, Worthington became a massively hped star off the work he does in Avatar - scoring Terminator and Titans off the back of it. Could this be the first Oscar-worthy CGI performance?
7. Zoe Saldana’s Female Lead Is A Cameron Speciality
“Jake falls for a Na’vi girl called Neytiri, and she’s a smokin’ hot action character and someone you don’t want to mess with.”
Why This Makes Us Even More Excited
This is the man who brought us Sarah Connor and turned Ellen Ripley into an action hero. If he says she's smokin' hot, she's smokin' hot.

This baby is either going to be Cameron's "Schindler's List" or his "Heaven's Gate." The bar's set too high for there to be any in-between.

In a time when Hollywood seems to be obsessed with prequels, sequels and reboots here's James Cameron proving that there still are an original thought or two left in Hollywood. Am unbelievably excited about this movie.

Im hopeful but concerned. No doubt this will be a UK 12a/US PG-13 so they can try and get as many people in and make as much money as possible. I understand that, but such films are usually 'watered down for the masses', and end up being weak, cartoonish, special-effects action films (like the Mummy films or Transformers films). Cameron has a great track record but no-one only makes great films (Speilberg hasn't managed it in 15 years, and he's one of the best!), so im going to temper my excitement until we know a bit more.
Also im red/green colour blind so the 3D could be a problem - anyone know?
