'Avatar' featurette dives into story, themes

Monday, November 16, 2009 at 3:36PM | By

A new international "Avatar" featurette has debuted online, and you can check it out after the jump. This one takes some time introducing the central story line, as well as the numerous themes of the film.

James Cameron's 3D action epic opens Dec. 18, 2009, and as you can see in this clip, there is a lot going on in terms of story and messages. That said, the main concept behind the idea is not entirely new.

"Avatar" takes us to a spectacular world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The three-minute feature trailer for James Cameron's upcoming 3D spectacle "Avatar" has finally landed online, and you can check it out after the jump. And guess what, this one finally won me over.

I'm especially glad to hear more dialogue in this one, and it seems like the story is a little more complex than the first teaser made it out to be. Finally, it's good to see more characters in action as well.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster re-team in Justin Lin's latest "Fast & Furious" sequel, in which lead characters Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner infiltrate the operation of a ruthless heroin importer. Here's what the Web's critics have to say:

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "That's really what this franchise is all about, visual thrills. Whether it be fast cars or girls making out, if that's your pleasure 'Fast & Furious' certainly delivers."

• RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "This film is in no way a masterpiece, but it sure was a lot of fun."

• Joblo's JimmyO: "If you are a fan, I think there is absolutely some good fun to be had. Don’t expect to care too much about the plot or anything else for that matter."

• Josh Tyler at Cinema Blend: "I’d rather spend a night in the slammer than sit through this again."

• Collider's Matt Goldberg: "But even for us laypeople who just like fast cars and big wrecks (without the grim reminders of car accident deaths), the film doesn't offer much."
