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.

Avatar was the first non "Educational" movie I saw in IMAX, and it was actually the reason the theater near my house installed an IMAX....

 

I honestly do not think this movie is going to do as well as many have hoped, because i think the appealing aspect of the first Avatar, was that it was shot with IMAX cameras..

Not a single second of the first Avatar movie was shot with IMAX cameras.

So just to be clear... you're saying people watch movies for the visuals? STOP THE PRESSES PEOPLE. 

Uh yes. That's what I said. I even gave some examples. People watched Avatar for the visuals and because of the 3D craze. You think people watched it for its story? 😅 People watched TJB because of the visuals. It even won an Oscars for Best VFX. Many will surely watch TLK because of its hyperrealistic new visuals (they already know the plot anyway).

Of course, Titanic is the most impressive global run of all time.

Here are some of the things it achieved that might not ever be achieved again, even for those who breaks the all time worldwide record, these are not really achievable.

 

1. Biggest ticket seller domestically in it's first run of all time (~130 Million tickets)

2. Doubled the worldwide highest grossing film within only 4 years of release (Titanic's 1.84 B vs Jurassic Park's 914 Million), this is like if a movie came out in 2013 and doubled Avatar worldwide (earning 5.6 B).

3. It tripled the second highest grossing film world wide that year (Lost World: Jurassic Park)

4. In a rapid growing market like China, Titanic maintained all time highest grossing film for 11 years (1998 to 2009)

5. Set the record for highest grossing film ever in most countries when it was released, still holds the highest tickets sold record in many European countries.

6. not box office related, but getting domestic all time crown, worldwide all time crown in box office, while getting nominated for 14 Oscar, winning best picture, and winning 11 Oscars.... This has got to be a feat that can't be achieved simultaneously again.

 

 

 

Don't forget dominated the music charts for along time on top of these unbeatable feats. Titanic was simply the biggest cinematic achievement and event of all time. Well put NC.

Could you give me an example of a movie that people didn't watch for the visuals? :jeb!:

By visuals, I mean CGI. To answer your question, several indie films with deep stories and do not rely on CGI. People watch those for the stories alone.

The same way I read books to listen to the pages turn! 

Lame. Just accept it that Avatar is known for its awesome CGI and not for its not memorable story. It is the highest grossing movie but can casual audiences remember any memorable lines from it? No. If you ask about Titanic they will answer 'I'm the king of the world!'. How about Avatar?

Thanks my friend, but unless Jc does something that turns off fans , a global disaster act of the most high etc. A scenario of juggernaut 2020 in as much theaters as Avengers and how every theater will want to keep this new breakthrough playing Ftf. Fans of cameron come.through snow storms, through earthquakes etc. Hard to see any scenario where Avatar doesn't destroy everything. Only the domestic crown looks like an Everest that Pandorians must reach the summit.  We will be discussing the obliteration of bo on new levels when Avatar 2 arrives. That end game Ow record may survive the impact as well.  That would be crazy if all we know is inevitable happens and we manage to to topple that amazing 357 magnum trophy as well though..Heh heh.😉

Actually lines like

 

"You get soft?!

 

" Pandora will chew out your eyes and use them for ju ju beans!"

 

2.  " This is our land!"

 

3. " My Jake"  "My Jake!"

 

All some of the most memorable lines in film history.

 

So your wrong on that statement as well.💪
