I think I saw it one other time with friends in theaters and still really disliked it. It felt like a giant video game and I was never immersed. I haven't watched it since because without the 3D, the movie had no value to me. Many others feel differently but I was never a fan. The fact that so many view it as a gimmick that they enjoyed once or a couple times in theaters is exactly why the sequel won't go anywhere near the original domestically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm not Avatar fan, but I'll admit that the CGI creations there looked better than... whatever was going on in Episode 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed unless James comes up with some new super gimmick. The reason I want TFA to destroy the record is because it might bring back practical effects in the way that Avatar popularized 3D. It would also be awesome if other studios and film makers followed what Disney did with the marketing here (which is a huge reason for its success). Like stop showing the whole movie in the trailer and TV spots. Leave some mystery. I remember MI: Ghost Protocol literally showed everything. And that seems to be the case with a lot of big blockbusters lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely does when you consider the performance of the first 3D movie after Avatar in Alice 3D which many consider a weak film AT BEST. I love Avatar's run & WW total but it's likely it was a one time phenomenon kind of like Titanic was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
