Movies and TV AVATAR 2 - Page 3

Filming just started today (after months of pre production). James Cameron is set to make 4 sequels. Are you looking forward to the sequel(s)? I can't decide if he's either crazy or brilliant lol. At this point though, I think it would be foolish to bet against Cameron. People thought he was crazy making a 200 million dollar budget about a sinking ship and they thought Avatar would flop too (both are the highest grossest films of all time)

Avatar 2 will be in theaters December 18th, 2020.

I loved Avatar. I thought the 3rd act was worth the price of admission alone. Saw it twice in IMAX 3D (I very rarely would do something like that but I liked it so much the 1st time I had to see it again) So count me in on looking forward to the sequels.

What has James Cameron done in his career that could even be remotely considered "lame"?

He didn't rush these sequels. They've been in development for the better part of eight years.

Aliens and T2, both of which were sequels, are on par with the original (if not better).

I don't get the skepticism.

His lamest movie was Avatar. That explains my skepticism.

This just keeps getting better. Kate Winslet joins the cast.

Me neither. Not sure how they advance the story and also improve on the first film

Well, it did make the first one at IMAX really mind blowing.

Um, according to my friend...

I had the pleasure of running "Avatar" in IMAX 3D. In that format, with what was then cutting-edge computer graphics, it was amazing. It felt like you were there. The colors, the 3D, the whole world they created. The story? "Dances With Wolves" meets "Ferngully", it was a perfectly acceptable story for a leftist tree-hugger like myself.

But it was a one-shot. It's amazing success is not the kind of thing you can recreate. The technology is no longer fascinating. The story cannot be retold. Even the most ardent lovers of the first film really don't give a shit about the characters. Not to mention the first film is already EIGHT FUCKING YEARS OLD. And if December 2020 is accurate it'll be ELEVEN years in between films. It's going to bomb, and bomb tremendously.

Both those sequels came out 7 years later, not 11.

Both those original films had complex and interesting plots, not "Dances With Blue People".

Both those original films had blockbuster stars.

Both those sequels had stories which expanded the original and were interesting. What's this gonna be? "AVATAR 2! Now, they're in space!" Blech.

It's gonna cost $250M to make and $300M to advertise and will probably gross less than that total.

You're out of your mind.
