Ever sit and watch a movie where, as the credits are rolling at its end, the audience just doesn’t want to get up and leave?

The sign of a quality movie, right?

It happened to me today—and not for a full movie.

It was 16 minutes from the forthcoming James Cameron blockbuster, Avatar.

And oh what a 16 minutes they were!

James Cameron has been a science fiction pioneer since he broke into the industry. The Terminator made us realize the true horror of what artificial intelligence could mean to our future. Aliens produced some of the most colorful characters and acting careers ever put on film and gave a level of action that was unparalleled in its day. The Abyss took CG to a whole new level and had a great literary ending about how we treat each other as well as our environment. Even movies like True Lies and Titanic, not science fiction by any standard, were written with utmost care and still bear a bit of fantasy within them.

On December 18th, after 14 years of development, Avatar will grace screens worldwide.

And be counted as a James Cameron masterpiece like the before mentioned movies.

Mark my words.

The teaser trailer for the forthcoming blockbuster Avatar is now released.

It kicks all sorts of ass!

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

This kind of day doesn’t come along often.

Director James Cameron, who has brought us some of the best science fiction and fantasy movies ever made with The Terminator, T-2: Judgment Day, Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies, and Titanic, is starting to ramp up his marketing and publicity for Avatar.

What is Avatar, you may ask?

Avatar is a forthcoming science fiction movie that Cameron has had percolating in his head for 14 years and which has been in production for four years of production.

In movie terms, that is a long time. And with a genius like James Cameron at the helm and given all of that time to perfect a movie, look out December movie going populace! Avatar takes place on the planet Pandora, where human explorers put their minds into artificial bodies, or avatars, to interact with the native population. That population: 10-foot-tall blue creatures called the Na’vi.

While at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, Cameron initially revealed footage from his sci-fi epic. People were in awe of what they saw.

This week, he’s letting a nationwide but still selective audience get their glimpse at what he’s been working on. Starting Monday at noon PT, free tickets were distributed on the film’s official website — avatarmovie.com — for screening of footage on IMAX 3D screens across the country on August 21st.

Once finished, we won’t get another viewing until the official trailer is released.

And it is a long time before the movie hits screens on December 18th!
