>The new trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar has been out in theatres for a week or so now, but it has finally debuted online today in HD over at Yahoo!. This comes hot on the heels of recent accusations against James Cameron that he may have stolen some of the ideas for Avatar from a 1957 short story by Poul Anderson entitled Call Me Joe. Fortunately for Cameron, this new trailer is a huge improvement over the initial teaser trailer, and is likely going to be impressive enough to erase any of these thoughts of plagiarism from people’s minds.

This three and a half minute clip provides a lot more context for what is going on in the film, including who the Na’vi are, why the military is interested in them, and what Sam Worthington’s back story is. However, it certainly reinforces the fact that most of the action will be 100% CG animation (albeit very high quality CG animation) while it remains to be seen just how much more thrilling the 3-D viewing experience will be. What do you think, does this new trailer change your mind about the film? Check out an embedded version after the jump.
