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 ****ING YEARS OLD. And if December 2020 is accurate it'll be ELEVEN years in between films. It's going to bomb, and bomb tremendously. |

Between Avatar 2 & Dune , I think 2020 is gonna be one hell of a year for sci fi. ![]() I'm esp stoked what James Cameron has up his sleeves for the sequel. He's hinted at some jaw dropping underwater sequences . He even threw out a backhanded comment on the underwater scenes in Aquaman recently ![]() Cameron is a record-setting underwater diver himself and knows a thing or two about filming beneath the sea with The Abyss, his various documentaries, and the upcoming Avatar sequels, and this is one reason why Aquaman wouldn’t have been a film he would make: “I’ve spent thousands of hours underwater and I’m very literal about my underwater. It needs to look like it’s real and while I can enjoy that film [Aquaman], I don’t resonate with it because it doesn’t look real. By the way, it doesn’t actually help us with our issues of actually understanding the ocean and exploring the ocean and preserving the ocean. Although they did throw in a couple of things with whales and things like that to remind us that we are kind of using the ocean as a toilet and as a garbage dump, so I applaud the film for that. “Yeah, I couldn’t have made that movie.” We will get to see Cameron’s next take on an underwater blockbuster spectacle when his Avatar sequels release starting in December 2020. https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2019/...rwater-scenes/ |

I did too. Thought the idea was really cool. It was a little clunky, and took lots of criticism for the price tag. But a lot of that was due to hurricanes destroying the sets.
Ever heard of the Ulysses cut? https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threa...cially.777996/ |
