Interesting moiraesfate, I actually didn't think this was just another site. You're supposed to download the app, which will continuously update, and you can navigate through the trailer, deciding which things you're interested in checking out, and which things you want to skip. And then it synchs up with twitter and facebook in real-time. I havent really seen an interface like this before -

Ok, thats not a trailer, thats an interactive website. Which pretty much every movie now has.

A f#@king pterodactyl with shark teeth?! A FLYING SHARK!? Plagues of locusts be damned, James Cameron is marking the start of the apocalypse!

Still only the second most terrifying reincarnation of a pterodactyl. Here's the first: http://pterodactyl.me/

I hope this movie doesn't suck.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm living over here in the far west (California), so I assume this will be up in our time.

Hi jsayson....It is built on Adobe AIR, and yes, you'll be able to download starting at noon eastern. The featurette is higher-res than what we have here. That said: I don't think you can download any of the video. You can watch in their environment, which is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I hope this makes sense - it's always a challenge to break down an entirely new concept!

Oh, I see now about the featurettes in your picture. I was assuming that the center video was the trailer.

I need clarification on this please. So we need Adobe AIR to view this? And the app will be available to download on the avatarmovie.com site, right?

Oh and if this isn't too much to ask, will the featurettes be available in higher resolution than the one you linked and possibly be also up for download?

Thanks.

Well that's just one of the various featurettes in the trailer! Wait until you see the whole thing later today -
