New Avatar clip on Xbox Live Marketplace
Craig Goodyear
There might be a mild spoiler here for James Cameron’s Avatar, courtesy of a new clip that’s popped up on Xbox Live…
Published on Nov 19, 2009
Fox seems to be showing us quite a lot of Avatar at the moment, what with the abundance of clips and TV spots arriving online. The latest has turned up on Xbox Live, which means there's no way we can give you even a link to it, sadly. It's to be found on the new Zune Marketplace if you want to go hunting for it, but for now, here's what Den Of Geek reader Craig Goodyear made of it:
"Thought you might like to know about a 4 minute action scene from Avatar thats exclusively on the new Zune Market place in HD. I'm thinking they have it on as a push for the Zune marketplace that was released on the Xbox yesterday - I have to say the streaming is very impressive.
Anyway, the scene looks like it takes place quite early on in the film - the first time Jake is on Pandora. Sigourney Weaver is also there as an Avatar, something I was unaware of before seeing this. Her character seems to be the brains in the operations as she gives instructions to Jake as he encounters a native resembling a large dinosaur. He is told to stand his ground, which he does and the native backs down. Jake gets all macho and starts shouting, when another huge native resembling a Jaguar creeps up behind him starting a thrilling chase scene.
This was the first time I have actually seen anything Pandora based that wasn't in a trailer, and as such it was the first time I could truly appreciate the subtleties of the characters. It does look realistic - everything moves as it should. From running, jumping and sliding, to the way water reacts to the characters is phenomenal. Its going to look amazing in 3D. The scene also gives us a chance to get an insight to the personalities of the characters a little more, as dialogue in trailers can often be taken out of context".
So there you have it. Thanks, too, to Charlie Brigden for the tip-off.
Avatar arrives in cinemas, finally, next month!
