From the sneak peak, which was also shown at 120 theaters around the country, the movie appears to combine elements from "Aliens," "Jurassic Park" and even "The Terminator." A crippled Marine veteran, Jake (Sam Worthington, who earlier this summer starred in "Terminator Salvation" with Christian Bale) rolls his wheelchair into a briefing where a senior officer warns about the dangers that lurk far from Earth, on Pandora. "As head of security," warns this tough-looking hombre, "It is my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed. Not with all of you."

A followup scene shows Jake, the Worthington character, submitting to a full-body scan by a scientist (Sigourney Weaver), but after that Jake is on an operating table in a sort of Frankenstein situation in which his human form is replaced by the body of a sleek, elfin, 12-foot alien with superstrength who casually busts out of his environment and roams free. Now we're on Pandora-- a jungly planet where Jake must deal, in the style of "King Kong" and "Jurassic Park," with a variety of terrifying dinosaur-like creatures in a series of life-or-death struggles.
