This trailer is, obviously, gorgeous and you’d be silly not to trust James Cameron at this point. The man knows how to tell a good story, even when everyone has counted him out. And yet… over 10 years between sequels is a lot. Sure, the Avatar re-release was a success, further padding the take of the highest grossing film of all time, but nevertheless, there doesn’t seem to be that much excitement about this movie. Maybe this trailer is the beginning of that, though.
