Wonderfull. Just wonderfull. This could finally be the movie that brings out the kid in me. The kid that could watch smth with his jaw hanging open in amazement. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Color me unimpressed, the CGI looks too cartoony. The Golum in LOTR looked more life like 5 years ago.

The problem isnt in the CG. Its the colorful design that makes it seem unreal. What you know can't be real seems unreal. If there ever was a planet like pandora it would probably look just like that in real life. Lighting is just perfect and all..

It does look like the kind of CGI you'd see in Wall-E... or Crysis which looks real from a distance, but too smooth/too colourful/too perfect/too uncanny/too many left-out details our brain nitpicks subconsciously up close.

That being said I do think people are setting their expectations too high if they expect an entire film to be photorealistic. I think they did an EXCELLENT job.

Blame James Cameron for the unrealistic expectations that people have. He said it would be mind blowing, the CGI will be photo realistic,...blah blah.

I just expected it to be, well, less cartoony.

I guess it depends on the person, I think it's brilliant and looks pretty darn real.

Was this the trailer shown at ComicCon?

Comicon had smth along the lines of 20 or so minutes of footage, so no, not really. Maybe this was shown as well, though I doubt.

What will be screened tomorrow will probably be the same Comicon material.

The trailer I thought looked really good. It's obvious that he overstated the 'Audiences won't be able to tell the difference between CGI and Live Action' because I can plainly see when something is not real. But having said that this may be the closest to real life CGI I've witnessed. I'm looking forward to this film.

Well, I couldn't tell a difference between the first scene in which the Na'vi was shown waking up, but in all the subsequent scenes it was fairly obvious (but still very well done!).

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
