The Plot
Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over (turns traitor?) to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
Why will this be cool?
Titanic director James Cameron's first movie in ten years promises to be quite something: a $190 million hybrid of action and animation about a paraplegic war veteran is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.
In the 52-year-old director’s own words:
"We're going to blow you to the back wall of the theatre in a way you haven't seen for a long time. My goal is to rekindle those amazing mystical moments my generation felt when we first saw "2001 A Space Odyssey" or the next generation's "Star Wars" It took me 10 years to find something hard enough to be interesting."
"I've wanted to make this movie from the time I wrote the treatment 11 years ago. I was just biding my time for when it was going to be technically possible. I'm so invested in the 3-D, and I love the challenge of creating an alien culture. We're creating a world from scratch, so it's really fun."
How can this go wrong? In my opinion, after looking at Cameron's other SF efforts like Aliens and Terminator 2 there's no way this can be a bad movie.
I have high hopes for it!

Additional Info:
Michael Biehn was considered for the role of Col. Quaritch. He met with James Cameron three times and saw some of the 3D footage, but in the end it simply came down to the fact that Cameron didn't want people thinking it was Aliens (1986) all over again, as Sigourney Weaver had already been cast.
