The Last Airbender Trailer

by Sarah Ksiazek on February 11th, 2010 // Filed Under » Featured, Lost in Previews

The first full trailer for The Last Airbender premiered today online. We have only seen the teaser and the Superbowl spot so far, and those trailers really did not give you a good idea about the movie. With this trailer, we finally get some idea of the story, and we can see some of the actors actually say some lines. There are not really any big name actors in this movie, other than the director/writer (adaptation) M. Night Shyamalan. Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga) are probably the only two actors that the movie-going audience may recognize. The movie is based on the anime series Avatar: The Last Airbender, but of course, Shyamalan had to drop the Avatar in the title because of another little-known movie that is not doing very well in the box office. From a couple of websites, I have gathered that the movie is based just on Book 1 of the series. The trailer itself is pretty good. It looks like CGI and special effects are top-notch. I am hoping that Shyamalan can redeem himself with this movie because his last two movies were not so good. He adapted this screenplay, so there won’t be any signature twist at the end. Rather than me try to give a synopsis of the story, I am just going to give you the synopsis that is on IMDB.com (I did not write this):

“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. In the old days, there was peace between the four nations of the world. The Avatar — Master of all four elements — kept peace between the the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Only the Avatar has the ability to Bend (manipulate) all four elements, but one day, he Vanished. Then the Fire Nation attacked, forcing a war on the other three nations for one hundred years. Now, for the good of the world, it’s up to 12-year-old Aang (Noah Ringer), the new Avatar and the last of the Air Nomads (Airbenders), to return peace and balance by putting an end to the war and mastering all four elements. Aang must accept his destiny by stopping the Fire Nation’s war and defeating the Fire Lord for good.”

The Last Airbender bends its way into theatres July 2, 2010.

    I'm a M. Night fan. So I take his movies as what they are. The studios want to say they horror. But to me they are always a very deep mystery of his mind. If you ever get his DVD's in the special features he sometimes release films he has done when he was a very very young director(teenager). Even then it seemed he was destined to bring what he wanted to his small screen. The creepiness of his stories all of them. And the tale behind them you're thinking ok maybe this shit can happen. Or have this happen somewhere out there. I feel he has continue to redeem himself. But not to those who want to seek something else than what the story is being told. AVATAR (The Last Airbender) is one of the best cartoons out there. My daughters and I have all the books(episode series on dvd). And just watching the cartoon you are going to say man that is tight. Especially if you like martial arts. Some of the fight scenes are very unique especially using the four different elements. Each equally dangerous if used properly can kill ya. Even in real life. I THINK this is going to come all the way the special effects. And with all good hope. I hope he stays as close to the story as possible. If you watch the cartoon you know how this story suppose to end. And you know what's suppose to come next. But if M.Night is directing. We're going to get somethings we didn't get in the show. A WHOLE LOT OF KICK ASS CGI!! And I hope a film that keeps us all in some kind of ahh. Thanks for the review Sarah…

    I won't lie, I am really excited for this movie. I'm catching up on the Avatar DVDs right now, and i'm only ten episodes away from finishing. What worries me is this; M Night and i were getting along quite well until i saw “The Happening” (I missed Lady in the Water). In fact, he used to be one of my favorite directors. Despite the bad acting, and a sorry plot, the movie was gimmicky. I think Night lost his way at that point. He has what i like to call “George Lucas Syndrome”. He got too power hungry and began to think he was unstoppable. Why would you let Mr. Shamalan but his name all over the movie, like it is going to attract people to the theaters. Two more things; we haven't seen what the animals look like (ie. Appa and Momo), or any of the delightful humor from the series only action-packed battles with wailing guitars. With that said, I don't think Night will ruin this movie. In an interview he said that him and his family were big fans of the show, and when the opportunity came up to direct it he took it passing up Harry Potter. There is no better pressure to make a good movie like your own kids breathing down your neck. And adapting a script is hopefully much better suited for Night than writing his own. Also, the producers of the show are the executive producers of the movie. I'm looking forward to this. I'm hoping to see you guys at an advance screening for this one.
