190 min in length and 310 million in cost according to this random chinese site i've never heard of

 

Actually 190 min info is from some non-English site outside China. So the source is unclear.

Was expecting 3.5h but 3h16m is not bad either 

[stuart360]

190mins?, wow. There goes the imo silly 200+mil OW predictions.

The weekdays and legs on this thing will be insane though.

lol yeah right Disney/Avatar.. you don’t need to spend 1 billion making 5 movies to tell us you care about oceans. Spend the 1 billion on oceans if you care about oceans and not profiting of virtue signalling and lame marketing smh

Disney doesn't give a fuck, but there's nothing wrong with spreading a positive message through a film that is very much centered around it. Yes it would all be nice if companies suddenly stopped caring about profit and just threw all their money on the right causes and went under but, you know, maybe be a tad more realistic and take what you can get.

I get this. I truly do but this is a drop of water in the ocean.

Tell me when he's more powerful than the oil companies who pool their resources into lobbying governments and knew global warming was thing in the 1950s

What are you talking about? Powerful? I just said there's nothing wrong with using a film to spread a positive message.

 

EDIT: Nvm, just saw your edit. Yeah obviously it's not going to like, change the world (Jimbo lives in a fairy tale dream), but it's still something to appreciate IMO. Cameron does genuinely care about this.

It would honestly better if he donated a large chunk of his salary to environmental charities.

You folks have no vision, you have to understand that the Avatar franchise will be a global phenomenon. Actually change comes from individuals working as a collective, but for them to get together, somebody has to send them a message.

 

What better message than a movie, sitting down for over 3 hours and watching a films that makes you understand 2 things, the beauty of Nature and that we're killing Earth.

Its false advertising.. there message is “buying this movie ticket will save oceans” and trying to guilt trip people into thinking they did something other than make a corporation richer that doesn’t give a crap about the environment.

 

It’s nice for them they’ve got some gullible people who actually defend big corporations but it’s actually really unrealistic to think any of this is about spreading a positive message.. the video even ends on a negative note.

Nowhere in the video does it say that buying a ticket for the film will help the cause.

Nowhere in the linked site does it say that buying a ticket for the film will help the cause.

 

All it's doing is spread awareness and link to a page that explains what people can do to help more in detail (the "learn more" link on the page literally connects you to a nature.org page about this very collaboration...and no, nowhere in there does it say that buying a ticket for the film will help the cause either.).

 

Seriously, come on.

You’d have to be pretty gullible if you can’t see what they are trying to do “Disney and Avatar support this” and then  interjecting there movie clips with a completely different subject. There’s literally no reason to slice your movie into this subject to “send a message”.. by the way saying “half the worlds ocean life might die in the next decade” isn’t a positive message or true it’s just fear mongering for the sake of this silly movie to guilt trip people into watching it.

You are a bit wrong here.

 

"Some percentage of the presumably-massive 'Avatar' sequel gross will go to charity," he revealed last year. "Fox has partnered with me to donate a chunk of the profits to environmental causes that are at the heart of the 'Avatar' world."

No I’m not. This article is 10 years old from 2012 long before all of the delays or Fox being bought out. Notice how Disney’s messaging isn’t saying any of the profits will go to charity in the video? 

[IronJimbo]

Jim has done more the enviroment than the COMBINED total of people who complain about virtue signalling on the internet

by the way it's CENTURY not decade. Decade is 10 years, century is 100 years, in case you are confused about that

 

Anyway it's not like they are hopping on the popular cause of the hour to promote their movie, the ocean is something that Cameron has been passionate about for his whole life and it shows in his career. How dare he use his platform to bring a little more attention to it? He doesn't have to do this at all. It's a really silly thing to get worked up about, save your outrage energy for something else
