James Cameron's Avatar - General

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;19226191]Plus it was General Badass who gave Jake one hour, not Corporate douche.[/QUOTE] I thought Jake and Ridley (or whatever the fuck) asked Coporate Douche for one more avatar "jump" while the General flew towards the tree, and he gave them an hour?

Yeah, you're right, my bad. :downs: But either way you could see a clear sign of regret when the tree came crashing down.

Saw it today. Folks, this is how you do REAL movies. 2012 was just a bunch of pretty CGI with a shitty as fuck plot. Movies like this, with visuals twice as beautiful as 2012 (in my opinion), and a real, moving story with actual effort put into it, make movies like 2012 and every other gimmicky flick look like a half-assed attempt to earn money. Also, the battle scene between the Marines and the Na'Vi was absolutely breathtaking.

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;19226342]You can murder someone and feel bad about it after, but it doesn't change the truth you are a murderer.[/QUOTE] Really I wonder if it's to show how he's having second thoughts now that General Badass is basically calling the shots, considering he appears to have a vendetta against Pandora.

Learn2read thread.

Did anyone else notice that they forgot a Na'vi in 1 scene and so other Na'vi put his hands on not existing shoulders? No I was the only one :P

[QUOTE=lazyguy;19221692] But he was a nice guy. He clearly didn't want to attack the Navi, but he had to (Another reason why this film's ethics PISS ME OFF).[/QUOTE] Yes he had to because of money.

Here's a making of clip showing the revolutionary performance capture technology used on Avatar: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti_LqksDgZQ[/media]

When the blue dudes hiss, it makes me cringe. It's just... weird.

I still find it odd that an alien culture living light years away from Earth have a belief system nearly identical to Native Americans.

[QUOTE=jcallan;19231637]I still find it odd that an alien culture living light years away from Earth have a belief system nearly identical to Native Americans.[/QUOTE] It's a movie.

In the scene where Jake gets a man, they put the hands on the shoulders, and when the cam zooms out there is in the left bottom of the screen this hole. And while it blends its visible for ~3seconds that he actually "thinks" there is someone in front of him.

The movie has currently grossed around $615 000 000 worldwide, that's pretty good I guess.

I just got back from seeing it. Best film I have ever seen. James Cameron doesn't fail me once again. Damn, Colonel whatshisface was a badass.

Just got back from seeing this with Karlos. Shit was absolutely fantastic. Went to see it in 3D, and oh man it was amazing. Best visuals I've ever seen, and the 3D was really well done. Never a dull moment, even though it was almost 3 hours long. And yeah, I know the story has been used before, but they really did it well. Likely the best film I've ever seen.

It was too short, I am hoping for a sequel without humans, so that they can completely concentrate on the planet and the story behind it.

I really can't understand how people can rate this as the best film they have ever seen. I can think of so many lower-budget, far less hyped, far less pretentious titles with much better scripts and characters that I would rank higher than Avatar - films like [i]The Last Samuari[/i].

I think Cameron caught onto that sometime after Titanic.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;19235015]People will gladly hand over money to see fireworks rather than books.

I would like to say Cameron realised that it is the special effects and action scenes that make him money and so he made Avatar, but he clearly didn't realise this as shown by his terrible script that he actually thinks is really deep and involving.

[B]Holy fuck...[/B] Avatar made an estimate of $75 million this weekend. It just had a -2.6% drop from the first one ($77 m), it's something never heard of before. This movie could outdone Titanic at the BO if it continues like that. [url]http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=avatar.htm[/url]

It's at 47 right now already, so I wouldn't be surprised. I'm quite surprised how many 2009 movies are in the top 50 highest grossing of all time. Well, at least number 2 and number 4 really deserve to be there.
