We're not at the point where real life actors can still be easily replaced by CG ones, and that's what this movie looks like. I still prefer make-up and "gorilla" suits to the new CG creatures in film. The first Underworld had the werewolves as real people in power-operated suits, and they looked great. The new Underworlds have crappy werewolves.
Avatar looks great, and I'll be seeing it, but I still think we're a good five years away from life convincing animation. It just 'feels' fake, still.

Well, they spent the better part of the decade working on it, so I don't think it's going to pull some Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within shit. All I know is that I'm in film school right now, a couple of my instructors and fellow students went to see some footage, and they said it was mindblowing.

Still waiting 'till Roland Emmerich makes a movie called Uncanny Valley.

Jimmy the Squid:
I feel a little silly because it's not like I needed to be convinced further to see this film and yet, BAM! I am more convinced.
