Are you ready to hear “My Heart Will Go On” for the new millennium?

The main theme for AVATAR is called “I See You” and it's sung with conviction by Leona Lewis, though I’m left unconvinced that it’s going to win any Oscars. It’s got a bit of electronica at the beginning, then slides into a bit of a LION KING tribal vibe near the end. And of course, throughout, Lewis belts out note after note with lyrics that are some variation of “I see you” over and over again. What does that even mean?

Here’s a sample excerpt:

"I see me through your eyes

Breathing new life, flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love"

Ohhh, see ME through YOUR EYES. Like because he’s a human in an alien body? FLYING HIGH, like he’s riding on the back of rainbow colored dragon bird? SACRIFICE as in….oh shit, he dies at the end doesn’t he? Did Leona Lewis really just spoil this entire movie with her goddamn song? Maybe it's just a metaphor.

Watch the video below, which is less a video and more a song accompanied by a picture of Leona Lewis.

Extra Tidbit: I vote they make this the AVATAR theme. Play that over a muted version of this trailer and tell me it doesn't fit.

Really wish the'd stop putting crap songs into great films. Why does this film need a cheesy ballad? And why does it need to be sung by an X-Factor contestant: Whitney Houston wasn't available? Bull**t!

Okay...
Who clicked this link vainly hoping Huey Lewis had gotten the News back together?



Quick, someone recut the trailer and set it to 'Power of Love.'

The posters are terrible this theme song is terrible and the hype is split in half. I'm just waiting for those negative reviews to roll in and crush my excitement for this movie.

Celine Dion's stupid song fit Titanic because that was a sappy chick flick. I don't, however, see why the fuck Cameron would shoehorn another fucking song of that style into Avatar. It's like he thought Terminator or even True lies would be bettered with one of those fucking songs. Avatar should be respected with epic orchestra music, and NOTHING ELSE.

Nothing screams "cutting-edge sci-fi" quite like a generic ballad sung by an X Factor contestant.



That was truly dreadful shit.

In fairness...
I reckon the first trailer spoilt the ending of the film, with Neytiri kneeling beside a body and crying. I could be wrong of course, but then there's also what Baltrius said. I'm still yet to be convinced about this film, but I guess I'll find out what it's like soon enough...

Uh...
I hates me some Leona Lewis (Bleeding Love is one of the worst songs I have ever heard), and that Extra Tidbit song sounds like a bad club jam. I don't think either really fit the film at all. They seem more like the songs someone would put on a YouTube tribute to this movie.

I figured giant rainbow colored aliens and explosions was the perfect background for a bad club jam.

It's not like...
...you expected his body to be kept cosily in the machine after he leads the Na'vi rebellion against the humans, did you?
