Avatar's new official trailer below gives us first glimpse in stereoscopic 3-D of the alien world dreamed up by James Cameron for his coming sci-fi epic with brief flashes of the strange flora and fauna that inhabit Pandora, the distant moon where the movie’s action unfolds.
The trailer features Pandora’s 10-foot-tall, blue-skinned natives, the Na'vi and the weird other-world creatures that share the planet with them. The key to the film is actor Sam Worthington, who plays wounded ex-Marine Jake Sully, a paraplegic whose mind is linked to a biological blue avatar created to let humans interact with the Na’vi.

James Cameron's sci-fi epic, Avatar,was filmed in photo-realistic, “stereoscopic 3D,” which mixes live-action and CGI imagery in a seamless blend.

We think it's a first: a scifi movie opening with 97% on the take-no-prisoners RottenTomatoes T-Meter. The consensus: "technically brilliant and socially poignant, District 9 has action, imagination, and all the elements of a thoroughly entertaining science-fiction classic". Filmed in a quasi-documentary
style, the $30-million special-effects-heavy film from newcomer Neill
Blomkamp, produced by genre-master Peter Jackson, follows the social
and geo-political repercussions of aliens crash-landing in Johannesburg
where they are sequestered in an apartheid-style homeland, treated like
refugees and forced to work for humans. They soon find a kindred spirit
in a
government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.

Maybe the world's astronomy community should give "District 9" producer Peter Jackson a call. He might know something they don't. At Comic-Con, Jackson protege, "District 9" director, Neill Blomkamp revealed that the aliens who landed on Earth 28 years prior in South Africa came from a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. The editorial team at the Daily Galaxy thinks this is a perfect, spot-on choice. But, did Blomkamp unwittingly mimic the home galaxy of evil Kelvans in an early Star Trek episode?
An image of the Andromeda Galaxy was on display on one of the large bridge monitors aboard the USS Enterprise and in the briefing room when the crew was reviewing star charts to search for the origin of an unknown buoy in "The Corbomite Maneuver." But unlike the peaceful "Prawns" in District 9, the Kelvan Empire dispatched expeditions of multi-generational starships to explore neighboring galaxies for territories suitable for conquest and occupation.
