Moderation   @IronJimbo @JamesCameronScholar @ImNotExcited@watcher1232@dudalb   I'm gonna say this once, and this applies to everybody here on both sides: we're not doing this "lol look at all the doubters, Jimbo is amazing" BS anymore. We're not doing this "lol look at these Cameron fanboys. So delusional. Fanboys gonna fanboy" It's not funny, never was funny, and frankly is unnecessary nonsense that clogs up the forums.   We still have eight months to go, and we r

Moderation: Please refrain from baseless commentary on shills and paid, biased critics. The movie is getting very good reviews, that should be good enough for fans to enjoy without engaging in nonsensical fanboy nonsense.

Hello Everyone!   This is just a friendly reminder from your Admin that reviews are subjective, and are not gonna affect your overall enjoyment of the movie.   And if anything is getting too heated for you; I pinned this post! You can come back and just look at the furbabies in my signature for a serotonin high!   Godspeed, folks.

It is the consistency of the SFX quality that's gonna be higher in the sequels i believe. Because again, there are shots in the original that look 100% believable.

While this is 100% true there's a lot more going on than that. The original is 'zoomed in' because of the limitations of the volume. Look at the depth too. Compare the two shots of them running up the vines.

The teaser further convinced me that I already saw the whole story for the sequel. A really really beautiful and powerful story. People probably get wired why Cameron suddenly do Fast and Furious stuff. But don't forget: Both Terminator 2 and Aliens are family-theme stories. One character may be not related to others, but they act and fight like a family against threats.

 

Ripley is not the mother of the little girl Newt, but her maternity and the desire for survival led her to fight their way out of the crazy planet. T-800 is not John's father, but he act like an old man instead of killing machine under the influence of the boy's moral restraint. In 3rd act, those characters get together to fight for the people and things they love. For Avatar 2, Cameron is going to do the same. A emotional and powerful story.

 

Can't wait for this.

 

I've always felt that all of his movies are love stories at their core.  Not strictly romance, though that is also present in most of them.

 

Terminator - romantic love story between Sarah and Kyle

Aliens and T2 - as you mentioned these are mother/daughter and father/son relationships at the core of the movie

True Lies - Harry and Helen!

Titanic - duh

Avatar - also pretty obvious

Pretty silly for the youtube trailer to only go up to 1080p isn't it?

 

Cameron owns the rights of Avatar, so he can decide on marketing, right? I'm surprised he didn't upload the 4k version on Vimeo like Reeves did.

Nope, he has the right of Avatar, but Disney got the contract to the production & distribution. Which means disney in charge of marketing.

 

Can anyone think of any reasons why Disney would try sabotage Avatar?

Marketing is dictated by the distributor. 20th Century Studios owns the distribution rights to the Avatar sequels.

From what I have heard second hand there is a lot of angry people at Lightstorm on how DIS have handled this so far.

Chapek has a habit of putting out rakes and stepping on them. How he is the CEO of a massive company like Disney I have no idea.

I'm convinced that Cameron's insistence is one of the only real things that's keeping the "20th Century [Formerly FOX] Studios" label alive...because the studio sure isn't there, anymore.  Disney is effectively handling all the key global marketing decisions, here.

The trailer is pulling strong numbers on Twitter, 1M on twitter already and doesn't look frontloaded at all like MCU flicks where most the views came from first 30 minutes.

 

The problem is the YouTube since they posted in the Avatar channel which have 66k subscribers. But at least it won't be frontloaded, should get strong views in the next days.

 

And yeah great trailer but the compression in just terrible, the 4K version i found is way better.

 

Judging by the number of likes, I'm pretty sure the main YouTube video is at least at 1.5 Million views (just do a comparison with the IGN trailer video on YouTube), but it was stuck at 5000 views or so for the longest time and still hilarious low, the update is just really slow, even more than normal, but the like count seems fine.

The video on Twitter is pass 3M now, doing so well!
