So what if the military ends up being the bad guys in this movie, the bad guys are bad regardless of where they come from. People need to stop being butthurt and accept that in order to have good military you need a population willing to kill of the corrupt segments of it. If the military is corrupt as a whole then the hell with it. If there is a political agenda, this movie if anything would give a warning to what the military could be like if it go’s unchecked.

Honestly I wasn’t excited about this movie in the first place, and this trailer didn’t change my opinion. It doesn’t look like anything new to me. All this hype and nothing that special. Will I see this movie? Yes! The way Aaron described the 15 minute Avatar preview made it sound amazing, but this trailer just didn’t do much for me. I don’t really care about these “advanced effects”. I like movies with good stories… and even some without. (I enjoyed G.I. Joe!) And as sci-fi genre goes… my favorite is E.T. which is also my favorite movie of all time. Talk about feeling what they feel! I felt what E.T. felt. I’d show more sympathy to him than a scary blue human-looking thing. I don’t want to sound too harsh. It doesn’t look terrible… just doesn’t live up to the hype. Luckily I didn’t buy into that hype. I’ll see the movie when it gets released, but I won’t be first one there midnight showing obsessed. I’m in no rush to see this film, but I will see it and have an opinion.

I know he was born in Canada, but that doesn’t mean any of his family can’t move here and join our military, not that I’m saying it’s for sure, but I remember him saying something about the scene with Arnold firing the M79 at the door inside the Cyberdyne building, he said something about somebody, I am probably incorrectly remembering to be his brother, being in the Marines telling him it can’t be done since it has to rotate 9 times before it’s armed, but he shot the scene anyway hoping nobody will know… I forgot who he said he knew that little fact from now…

How can you make those assumptions from a 2 minute trailer?

Cameron is Canadian and has several siblings but I am pretty sure he didn’t have a sibling who was a Marine(US Forces)..

Even if it was a 3 hour anti military liberal parade, he’s not “shoving” it down anywhere. to see it you have to get in your car, drive to the theater, park, walk to the ticket counter, cough up 10 DOLLARS! and sit next to some moron in the dark and keep your eyes opened for the next 3 hours… hardly shoving anything anywhere…. that being said, this movie looks like a cg mess… revolutionary would be if we couldn’t tell…

@steph

I get where you’re coming from, but I have doubts that James Cameron is doing that, despite him being a liberal himself. The reason is that I think his brother was a former Marine?? I forgot, someone in his family was a Marine, and that’s why if he has military men in his movies, they tend to be Marines. Look at Aliens and the “Space Marines.” And so far he has never disrespected the military, law enforcement, or anything like that in his movies. Even in The Abyss where the “villain” was a Navy SEAL, it was really only because that one guy went crazy. Look at True Lies, it was not at all anti-government or anti-war-on-terror. He made the organization Arnold worked for look completely bad-ass. And in Avatar, those are all Marines.

That’s why I’m thinking, and hoping, that there’s more to this, like ultimately the antagonist is a single individual with a lot of power, which kind of instigates this battle or at the most an organization, and somehow the Marines themselves would not really be guilty of anything, like they are simply following orders or something like that. Perhaps in the end of the movie the military high command gets light of what’s going on and orders his Marines to stand down and ultimately you see that they are the good guys. Unless Cameron has really changed his ideals, I’m pretty sure he won’t make the Marines the bad guys.

Looks pretty to me, too, but I’m with the person who commented about it being another rehashing of how evil and barbaric our military is. I am the daughter of one military man and the wife of another, and the LAST thing I need is some movie with an anti-war, anti-military bias being shoved down my throat, or any other bodily orifices, for that matter. I am proud of our men and women who serve in the military, and it makes me furious when some anti-war JERK shoves their views onto a silver screen near me.

Robert A. Heinlein (starship troopers) meets George Lucas (star wars) meets John Scalzi (old man’s war) meets Chris Bunch (dragon master trilogy) meets John Ringo (Looking Glass series) meets Kim Stanley Robinson (Mars Trilogy).

I’m still wondering where the “new, never before seen content” went?

It would have been better to have used the money to feed half the world than make this conceptually rehashed mash-up.

New content = new ideas

They pushed the tech and lost the point.
