From the trailer it looks like it could be a 'cool' movie to me so I'll definitely go see - there's films out there for every taste just like there is music or books and this looks like harmless sci-fi/sword n sorcery escapism.
After watching the 3D opening to the latest Harry Potter film I was also very impressed with how far the technology has come and the glasses are no more a hindrance then having a bag of popcorn on my lap.
Regarding film as an art form with every new creation pontificated over is bound to lead to dissatisfaction in 99% of cases so better to regard it as entertainment, sometimes quite mindless entertainment.
Throw big money at a movie and the backers want something to appeal to the broadest customer base, and of course the experienced theatre goer will already know what to expect broadly - there are only seven stories to be told and retold after all.
From the trailer and the target audience we can assume there's going to be a clear distinction between good guys and bad guys, and the good guys will win the day because that's what Hollywood demands.
I accept what the destination is and hope that the journey is made as entertaining as possible. If all movies were of the same ilk even I'd have cause to moan, but there's plenty of more serious, more thoughtful, more rewarding movies out there which have to rely on story and narrative for an audience so bring on Avatar 2, although it is a little disquieting when Cameron says he'll be consulting with the guys who developed the Avatar video game when making the sequel.

I am not so sure that it is Hollywood demand, but I am quite confident that it is OUR demand.
The public, the industry comply.
Happily for us life is depressing enough without bas ends..You will conceit to me..

The money men of Hollywood demand as big a payback as possible so in that respect what Hollywood demands and what the public demands are one in the same - the money they throw at a movie, the more payback they require.
With Titanic, Cameron bucked to happy ending somewhat when Jack sank to his watery grave, though we all knew that the ending of a story about the Titanic was never going to be 'feel good' so the audience were prepared for tragedy. :0)
I'm not expecting anything more than a good big-budget, block-busting pop-corn movie with Avatar and if the 3D works like I expect it should be a thoroughly predictable but entertaining blast.

You can also feel good with a half tragedy ( the girl with the big boobs survived )--
