M Night Shyamalan is directing "The Last Airbender", which is different from Cameron's "Avatar" and I have to disagree that the cartoon series sucked...I enjoyed it quite a bit and the finale rocked. Actually talked with one of the guys writing the music for the series on one of the music gear forums.

Anyway, regarding Cameron's movie...Hate to say it but I'm just not getting the hype with this film. From a CG-POV, sure it'll be fun and interesting but I really hope there's a story and good acting underneath it all. The basic synopsis doesn't seem so different from most any other recent sci-fi film....space marines....aliens...one trying to rectify it all for peace....big battles...big tears...love....we'll see. I don't think I can take another video game masquerading as a movie, no matter how special the effects are.
