I’m seeing Avatar tomorrow. In preparation I’m trying to forget all of the movies I’ve seen that seem an awful lot like it. So for the next twenty-four hours I’m going to pretend I’ve never seen Quigley Down Under, Dances with Wolves, or even Battle for Terra. I’m determined to put on my 3D glasses and give it a fair shake.

In place of those movies I’m filling my head with the following Avatar clips. Some of them are new, some of them are longer versions of clips you’ve already seen. They’re all colorful and full of CGI. I still say the human scenes look best. Take a look at all six Avatar clips below and prepare to turn your brain over the loving caress of James Cameron’s wholly original film.
