Seeka 12,372 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 1 hour ago, iCpro said: A lot of people seem to be missing the point when it comes to avatar. The focus of the movie isn’t the plot or characters, but the visual effects. The movie remains one of the most groundbreaking and influential films in the world of visual effects, so it seems silly to disregard it as having no impact as I see many people doing recently. It had a huge impact, just not in the traditional way that we expect. He's the thing though. Everyone is seeking better graphics. It wasn't like if Avatar was never released we would be stagnating. And I hate to say this but I'll take 8-bit graphics with an awesome story and memorable characters then like something I entirely forgot. Like yeah it made an impact but like... Not really? What's the point of a story if nothing about it is memorable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy McSass 814 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I happen to love this movie. I know people have issues with the storytelling not being very original, but I still think it makes its point as to why we should protect the environment. James Cameron also became very engaged in environmental causes while making it. And the special effects were something else. I’ll keep looking for Wonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Titanic only achieved those figures with a re-release in 2011 or something EDIT: "A 3D version of Titanic, released on April 4, 2012, to commemorate the centennial of the sinking, earned it an additional $343.6 million worldwide, pushing the film's worldwide total to $2.18 billion and making it the second film to gross more than $2 billion worldwide (after Avatar)" - from Wikipedia James Cameron's ambition, holy hell Let's see what Endgame will do Jk, but I do think it'll join the $2 billion club. 🃏🖤👹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of a story if nothing about it is memorable? I feel like you didn’t read what I said... the impact the film made was in terms of how far it pushed film technology. The thing people remember avatar for is the visuals, not the story. Sure, you may prefer a good story over good visuals, but that doesn’t mean everyone else does. It’s the highest grossing film of all time because of its visuals. Of course everyone is seeking better vfx, but that doesn’t mean everyone has the capability to actually develop it. James Cameron was able to create the technology to do what seemed near impossible at the time, and propel the industry way ahead of where it would have been without avatar. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakariah 11,556 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I can't believe there's gonna be like 4 more sequels of Avatar, like no one really loved it THAT much, James Cameron, it was literally a fad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotyourbabe10 5,995 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Really disliked this film upon my first and only viewing. However, my inner-radicalized environmental self feels like I need to watch it again years later? Didn't it have some leftist radness to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFXSoul91 1,084 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I can remember the plot and the actors and I remember liking it, but definitely no names without cheating. Honestly, though, Titanic should have stayed on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I still can't remember the plot either. Were we all brainwashed at the same time.

I'm actually hoping it beats the record, but then again Star Wars The Force Awakens couldn't do that and it was probably the most hyped release in history However I am pretty sure that $2 bil is on lock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
