20th Century Fox has announced that the recently released
Avatar trailer took in 4 million streams the day it was made available on Apple.com. In a press release from the studio they said:
Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the
Avatar teaser trailer has become the most-viewed trailer ever on the popular iTunes Movies Trailer section of apple.com, which Thursday hosted the long-awaited public first look at writer-director James Cameron's motion picture epic. The teaser registered over four million streams in its first day on the site, shattering the previous record of 1.7 million.
On Friday, the trailer arrived in theaters around the world, presented in all formats, including IMAX® 3-D, IMAX® 2-D, digital 3-D, digital 2-D, and 35mm 2-D.
The record-shattering online trailer debut marked the launch of
Avatar DAY, an unprecedented experience that also saw the unveiling of special scenes - in 3-D - prepared especially by Cameron for this event. The extended look at AVATAR unspooled for two showings only Friday evening. The U.S. showings were held in select IMAX® 3-D theaters, and international unveilings were in select digital 3-D and IMAX® 3-D theaters. Reservations for all showings were completely booked.
In addition, Fox took the wraps off its special "3-D"/lenticular one-sheet posters for the film, Ubisoft® unveiled the trailer for their videogame James Cameron's
Avatar: The Game, and Mattel revealed the action figures for the film's
Avatar and alien Na'vi characters.
Avatar takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work,
Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
Avatar opens in theaters everywhere December 18, 2009.

Btw to all the retards who are freaking out about TDK "talkers" who aren't really even talking about it until right now lol.
I brought it up merely because of the trailer, The Dark Knight trailer has to have WAY more hits than this film, when there is mediocre praise thus far. EVERYONE AND THEIR FUCKING DOG WATCHED THE DARK KNIGHT TRAILERS OVER AND OVER so that's why I think this information is false. Has nothing to do with how well TDK was or anything about plot comparisons or anything, people need to read before they open their mouths. That is all that was said people, nothing more so stop acting like people are off talking about "the greatness of The Dark Knight" when no one said ANYTHING REMOTELY along those lines. Pay attention you goons.
I don't care what they says about it... full stop.
First and foremost, this movie was made for and intended to be seen on an Imax 3-D screen...
The visuals were utterly amazing! You really felt as though you were in the scene, right along with these space marines and the Navi.
Rundown of the 16min Sneak (don't get dissappointed by the teaser trailer...it shows you nothing, and you have no clue how cool this movie is until you see it in 3-D)
1. First Scene: The high ranking military (with 3 scars on the side of his head). Walks into a big room filled with soldiers and starts talking about Pandora. He goes on to say that he will not be able to protect all of them, and some of the soldiers will certainly die. The Sam Worthing rolls up in a wheelchair and throws down his duffle bag. End Scene --
2. The next scene is similar to what you saw in the teaser (excep more detail). Sam is looking at the big blue Navi in the holding tank. He then gets loaded into a cat-scan looking machine by Sigourney Weaver and undergoes the process of teleporting himself into the big blue alien. The scene continues with him standing up and learning to walk and use his new legs. Eventually the scientists try and convince him to sit down and relax but he just won't, and finally bursts out of the room and takes off runnning. End Scene --
3. The Next scene is on Sam (in his Avatar body) walking thru the Pandora jungle (along with Sigourney Wearer in her avatar body, as well as others). They happen up a pack of large dinosaur looking things and one of them approaches Sam aggressively. He stands his ground and it backs away only because there is a large viscious looking tiger thing sneaking up from behind Sam (you see this mean ass looking thing in the teaser). A huge chase ensues with Sam running thru the jungle nearly getting eaten by this thing at every turn. The 3-D here was jaw dropping...you really felt like this thing was chasing you...utterly nerve-racking and amazing at the same time. End Scene --
4. The next scene is of Sam (still in his Avatar body) walking thru the jungle with a native Pandora Navi girl...she is scolding him about being there and the animals having to die, and how it was so unnecessary. During this walk you get to realy see the Pandora jungle at daytime and see all the plantlife. We then cut to night time in the jungle, and fucking hell, was it cool...everything glistened and lit up and fucking fire flie looking things and all sorts of shit. The effects were so fucking cool in the jungle at night...I could watch this shit for hours. End Scene --
5. The next scene is Sam and this Navi girl climbing a cliff...along with what appears to be the rest of her tribe. They get to the top where shit loads of the winged dragon-bird looking things are perched (growling and snapping and shit). She tells Sam that he will be chosen by one (this is his learning to fly lesson). He asks "How will I know I have been chosen", and she answers "It will try to kill you...". Well...this happens and he rides on of these winged fuckers off the side of a cliff crashing and bouncing off the mountain as they tumble towards their deaths...but eventually he souts "straighten up and fly right"(or something like that)...and that thing straightens up and flys perfectly with Sam on its back. I gotta tell you that I felt like I was falling and flying with these fuckers the whole way down. End Scene --
It then cut to a montage of battle scenes between the marines and the Navi...this was very similar to the last part of the teaser (just a lot more of it).
All I can say it that I am SOLD...this is the coolest shit I have ever seen in a movie. The 3-D was not 'in your face...poking and bullshit like that'...it was immersive...and truely amazing to look at.
SEE IT IN IMAX 3-D OR YOU'RE GONNA BE MISSING THE COOLEST THING TO HAPPEN TO MOVIES EVER!!!
what it looks like a lot where waiting for a trailer and the website still sucks...
What's all the fuss about this movie?
Humans in powerloaders (ripoff from Aliens, BTW) and tall blue elfes fight each other. End.
