I disagree. I understand your point well enough, but obviously its easier to trick the human mind to accept a CGI Prawn over a CGI human. The CGI in D9 was so badly rendered at certain moments I was pulled out of the action. Your focusing on one tiny aspect of such a huge accomplisment for any movie. If you think the Navi design could be more alien and improved, I get your point, but perhaps you should read what Cameron has to say about that. He admitted fans will be disappointed most likely in his decision to stay mostly humanoid when he could go completely alien. this was done in an effort to better portray human emotions through the avatar. fact of the matter is that they do look more photo-realistic than the bugs in D9 but since they are humanoid and you have stated you would like a better thought out design, I think your opinion makes sense. I, however, like their design, and looking at the CGI makes me extremely excited and not let down in the least bit, especially when you consider the Navi are probably about 10 percent of the total CGI in the film.

I saw the preview of Avatar in 3D yesterday. As I already told Whisper, I wasn't blown away at all by the 2D trailer when I saw it.
But it's COMPLETELY different in 3D. The avatars look so real, so living, it's amazing. You simply cannot compare seeing them in 2D and 3D. And I was most sceptical about it, ESPECIALLY after I watched the trailer before the preview. Actually I was a bit disappointed by the trailer and went into the preview with lowered expectations. Just to be blown away even more In most scenes I forgot I was sitting in a cinema, and not on a chair in the jungle.

I have heard almost nothing but positive feedback from the 15 minute presentations, and I've witnessed a lot of people completely change their mind from their trailer impressions (from negative to positive) which is good. Makes me all the more glad that I haven't spoiled myself though, and I'll go into the full movie almost totally ignorant.

I would have had I the choice, but in hindsight, I'm glad I was forced into missing it.
