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!).

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
