This pre-CG teaser image from Avatar 2 is a lot to deal with - The A.V. Club

James Cameron’s first Avatar was essentially an advertisement for the thrilling visual possibilities of modern special effects, with some human actors playing alien cat people and other human actors playing human people who had put the brains in alien cat people bodies.

There were big robots, people rode dragons by intertwining their ponytails together or something, and it all took place on a lush natural paradise covered in fantastical flora.

Even with all of that in mind, though, this photo of Kate Winslet on the set of Avatar 2—before the CG work has been implemented—is a lot.
