It's probably not a good sign for it's long term success that all of the articles about the trailer seem to be referring to it as "creepy".

interesting, but i don't see any 'creepiness' tbh, i will add it to my list.

The uncanny Valley creepy issue can be done with a film artists artistic intent in mind as well so there are two sides to things ,, James Cameron knows all about the Uncanny valley effect and how it makes a film "Feel"

Hmmm I don't find the eyes creepy since the character is clearly not supposed to look human (it's when they try to achieve hyper realism that things start getting weird) - to me they are an interesting stylistic touch - and I can appreciate the risk the animators took in going head on with the Anime style...

buut I'm slightly bothered by how CG/fake her face looks in some of the shots (not all)- almost like a video game, the CG is in no way bad but for some reason I find myself paying extra attention to any off expressions/robotic movements.

It's not full on uncanny valley (did any of you watch the Polar Express? My god that was awful) - just a bit too... cartoony for my tastes?

Any way - before I go - I'll leave you all with this lovely video;

I saw the movie this past week. It was unbelievably good and had a ton of Avatar references.

Nothing was creepy and she looked pretty realistic next to her human counterpart.

Looking forward to part 2.

And if it matters, I watched this on a Qled 4k Samsung 65" tv and it looked ridiculous.
