taksraven Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 seriously Valid point. They could do soooooooooooooo much more with an extra 8 minutes in that film..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyPenguins Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 seriously Truth! 8 additional minutes? what are they going to cram that "baleeted" sex scene in it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Okay guys (especially Taksraven, who makes a habit out of quoting every picture on every thread), stop quoting the stupid Charizard pic.

areaseven Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) James Cameron and FOX are expecting to release three consecutive sequels every December starting in 2016. For Fox, Much Is Riding on 3 Sequels to Avatar And here's one for the nitpickers. Edited June 17, 2014 by areaseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangledThorns Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Knowing James Cameron we should at least see Michael Biehn and/or Bill Paxton in the sequels. I read a Michael Biehn interview where James Cameron originally wanted him to play the villain in Avatar but was afraid of the Aliens comparison.

anime52k8 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I still stand by the assertion that Avatar is closer to a direct rip off of Ferngully than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) hehe... That's uncanny... I still stand by the assertion that Avatar is closer to a direct rip off of Ferngully than anything else. Deffinetely Ferngully, with Dances with Wolves and, thanks to reddsun1 pointing it out, Disney's Pocahontas, and others too I'm sure, thrown in as well in copious doses. Let's face it. Avatar was grossly derivative, but still a good movie that's easy to enjoy (aside from originality, what more can you ask of any film?) that, despite it's environmentalist message, was nowhere near as preachy as Elysium was. And it is a feast for the eyes. Edited June 18, 2014 by mechaninac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't mind if Cameron makes 20 more Avatar's but he needs to get off his you-know-what and give me some Abyss and True Lies remastered on Blu-Ray!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Has flaws - but Cameron's stuff just has 'IT' - whatever IT is. After watching Ender's Game and Pacific Rim recently, I tried to figure out why Aliens and T-2 and a few others are SO GOOD in comparison - and pull you in - and these (and many others) do not. Its not the effects. It's - well - script and casting - and then IT. Why is Iron Man uber cool and Green Lantern un-watchable? IT! Cameron's Avatar did not have huge doses of IT like Aliens. It had just enough IT . . . ( ps - just proofed this post and I make no sense whatsoever . . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Avatar is what you get when you recycle every plot available and mix in stunning camera and FX work. It and Gravity are the only reason 3D should exist. Avatar was a great ride the first time and due to the FX and camera work it holds up reasonably well on repeated viewings (even without 3d) but the plot and characters are as cliche as cliche can be.

Duke Togo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Do you think he realizes no one has watched or talked about his movie since it came out? They're producing a trilogy of movies for a property that has no cultural presence during a time when there is a growing backlash against CGI-fests.

derex3592 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Cameron is going to do what Cameron wants to do. Whether it be going to the bottom of the ocean on his own dime, or making three more movies that I and many others don't care about. He is going to do it because he can and he wants to. The movies will make money, but I don't think he cares about that one way or the other. He marches to the beat of his own drum these days.

M'Kyuun Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm with the crowd that thinks he ought to let Avatar be and carry on with Battle Angel (Gunnm). I'd far sooner watch a cyborg chick kicking ass in a dystopian future than tall blue people cavorting in the woods. I'd be really impressed if he had the balls to cast mostly Asian actors and set it in a future Japan, unlike a certain other popular anime getting the live action treatment with whitewashing all over it.

Kanedas Bike Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Four? I enjoyed Avatar for what it was, a groundbreaking visual feature with an afternoon matinee story.

He can film all four together with no location shooting and no traveling. By-in-large they're animated films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Worldwide take of over 2.5 billion. Of course he's going to go back to that particular well as often as he can.

Yeah...but I'm not talking about the ability or logistics of creating the film, but rather how much story (not talking about how good a person things said story is) is there to tell? I'm not as hard on the movie's story as others have been, and are being right now, and by and large their criticism has merit, I just don't see how he plans to stretch this thing out. -b. *edit, even the guys below me agree with how crazy 4 more movies sound - they just said it more eloquently Edited April 18, 2016 by Kanedas Bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Cameron will be re-acquiring the rights to the Terminator franchise in 2019, don't be surprised if one of the sequels is AvT: Avatar vs. Terminator.
