This short trailer, lasting one minute and thirty-seven seconds, once again exposes Pandora, the planet on which the mythical creatures of the film directed by James Cameron live.
While it broadcasts almost no element of the script, only one sentence is spoken by the main character, Jake Sully:
“One thing is certain.
Wherever we go, this family will be our fortress.”
He pronounces this sentence in the middle of splendid aquatic images, which testify to Cameron's love for the marine universe and had at the time made the success of the franchise.
And the will of the director goes in this direction.
We must
"push the limits of what cinema can do
," he said at the CinemaCon festival held at the end of April.

The plot takes place more than a decade after the first flights on the back of dragons.
She once again follows Jake Sully, played by actor Sam Worthington, as well as his wife Neytiri, a role played by Zoe Saldana.
Unlike the original film, several characters make their debut on Pandora, who are none other than the couple's children.
But
"their idyllic life, close to nature, is threatened"
, relates the short synopsis of the feature film, specifying the arrival on the island of a threatening and dangerous non-governmental organization called the
"Resources Development Administration"
.
Our heroes will have to escape this threat by leaving their natural habitat to go to the reefs where they think they will find asylum.
"But they come across a clan, the Metkayina, with customs different from their own..."
Any resemblance to people or situations that exist or have existed cannot be purely coincidental...
