I'm not sure why, because I really want to love this film, but the more I see of it the less interested I am. I love thoughtful sci-fi (Moon and District 9 were both amazing) and I love balls-to-the-wall action epics (2012 looks like a bag of stupid, but a damn thrilling bag of stupid) so I can't figure out why I just don't "get it".

I can just hope that the best parts are still the parts we haven't seen and the 3d, instead of being the usual gimmick, lifts and enhances the movie.

(but hey - to this day I still love The Abyss far more than T2, so I may not be normal!!)

There is a featurette up too, about 4m long with interviews and some new scenes from the movie. Might have been linked before

A thing that struck me after having checked the trailers is that the Na'vi race are huge. Probably about 3m tall.

Here is a snap from the August teaser.

The only thing I want to nitpick on is the excessive jumping off cliffs and landing on flying mounts. It seems very impractical, and also would diminish the population rather quickly considering all factors at play. But I'm still hyped, I want to see this movie.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
