WTB synopsis. The trailer didn't do it for me.

Looks like they put marines in alien body and then try to kill them...

I think those are supposed to be replacement bodies for injured soldiers- bigger better faster engineered sort of thing. It's James Cameron and I'll give him $9 just for having made Alien. One of my favorites.

Synopsis from what I've heard, also taken from Wikipedia since it's 3AM and I'm a lazy arse:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(2009_film)

The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully, is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will give him a healthy body. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush rainforest-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms – some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race that humans consider primitive, but are actually more evolutionarily advanced than humans. Standing three meters tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na’vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence.

Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human 'driver' through a technology that links the driver’s mind to their Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched by her ferocity in battle.

Over time, Jake integrates himself into Neytiri's clan, and begins to fall in love with her. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na’vi – forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Basically a Science-Fantasy, Prius driving, tree hugger movie.. with furries, space marines, and giant robots.

Eh.

Eh.

Even in space, us humans want to destroy the rain forest and all life in it.. Good grief.. Where's Captain Planet when you need him..

I bet in the movie, the name of the Marine unit is funded by Halliburton. And on Earth we are all driving V8's and all the oil has run out on Earth. And now they find oil on the Navi homeworld.. Halliburton realizes they have trees as well as oil.. Double the bounty.. Double the fun.. They are awarded the Government contract to mine Navi..

Now if the backstory resembles my synopsis above in the least bit, I will be laughing while watching this. Also if the evil General or the person in charge of the military human "evil" forces is named Cheney..

I don't know how I feel about that- however a hybrid APC is being tested in the desert behind where I work as we speak. I swear if it's shaped like an egg ...

I hope this isn't true. James Cameron hasn't been known for being a Cap'n Planet sort of guy. That would disappoint the hell out of me.

the visuals are STUNNING!!!! I can't wait to see it.

It's only coincidence that the planet is full of trees and the Americans are ordered to mine the planet for its natural resources killing animal life in the process. I don't mind any homage to Aliens or Titanic in this one since they are Camerons best two films.. However this whole story will be analyzed as an allegory of what we are doing to our own planet.
