Comic-Con 2009 Showcases Avatar--3D Wows the Audience

[zazoo]

Comic-Con 2009 is underway, and James Cameron had a preview of the movie in stereo3D. Apparently, it made a huge impression on the audience. Some IMAX theaters will have a 15 minute preview of the film available on August 21st for the general public. Apparently, Disney had a 3D panel at the show, as well. Day 2 show notes on MaximumPC:

"Believe the buzz. James Cameron's first studio movie since Titanic is the real deal. Cameron, joined by several members of the case, showed 24 minutes of the film in 3D to fans. We waited 3 hours in line to get into this panel, and every minute was worth it. The story about a marine who meets and assimilates into a tribe of aliens inhabiting an exotic planet isn't groundbreaking -- think Dances with Wolves in space -- bu the 3D technology and convincing CG actors certainly are. Cameron announced that Fox has rented out IMAX theaters on August 21st for the general public to catch a FREE 15-minute preview, but with this footage, they've already sold us on the film. Avatar comes out on December 18th."
