Is the movie Avatar 100% CGI? Or is humans the actual actors?

[rileyyy]

i'm slightly confused on the amount of CGI

 

[Think Cool]

There not aliens i think so Colon made ......

Actual actors and CGI aliens. Like Jurassic Park had real actors and CGI dinosaurs. Looks kinda corny though.

 

[Xavier]

The humans are the actual actors.

 

[Haegr]

There's a lot of CGI, but it's not all CGI.

 

[Just Call Me Silver]

It's both. The real actors did all the motion stuff, and JC then used CGI to create and superimpose the Na'vi faces, characters, backgrounds etc. It's kind of like the technique used by Robert Zemeckis, but not the same thing.
