Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington
James Cameron—remember him? Won a bunch of Oscars, declared himself “king of the world”? He’s not exactly hurting for walking-around money, but it has been more than a decade since Titanic crushed boxoffice records. His latest, a massive sci-fi action pic, looks like an Xboxready first-person shooter peppered with a little Aliens, and a touch of The Matrix. Hard to say what it’s all about, but it definitely involves a bunch of blue-skinned creatures in a Lord of the Rings–type struggle on another planet. And it’s in 3-D. Except for a cameo by Weaver, there are no huge stars here, just Terminator Salvation’s nonbreakthrough Worthington and Star Trek hottie Zoë Saldana.
