James Cameron...A Review,and The Next Generation of Film."Avatar."

[orangeblooded2]

to a great extent, the expectations of the 3-D industry ride on “Avatar.” “When you look at the history of film, there have been to date two great revolutions—sound and color,” Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of Dreamworks Animation and a tireless promoter of 3-D, told me. “This will be the third great revolution. People are still somewhat skeptical and wonder if it’s a gimmick and if it is better suited to cartoons. I don’t believe that for a second. I think the day after Jim Cameron’s movie comes out, it’s a new world.” Michael Lewis, the C.E.O. of RealD, the leading 3-D projection company, says, “The industry is looking for its ‘Citizen Kane,’ its definitive work of 3-D, and ‘Avatar’ may be that film.”

Be forewarned, length and language are stretched. Quiet possible the longest read in Volnation history, with explicit language. However,well worth the read!

I stayed with the head motion capture guy on this film about a year ago. He said the 3-D stuff they developed is just incredible.

Movie doesn't really interest me, but from everything he told me and I've read, I'll have to check it out.

Movie looks interesting, but it's like they ripped off random vehicles from various other scif fi projects. The little walker things from the Matrix trilogy, the flying vehicles from Halo 2/3, etc.

Just saw the new three minute trailer that Fox showed on the Cowboy's Jumbo-tron and national Television simultaneously.

Looks like a solid story. Can't wait to seen the new 3-D technology.

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I'm more interested in the special effects. The story sounds like a re-hash of "Dances With Wolves" or any other movie that involves a protagonist that "switches" sides.

James Cameron also did Aquaman.

I hope this 3-D technology is more than just market puffery.

We'll see...

Am I mistaken, or did this movie cost 500 million to produce?

"Waterworld" cost over 200 million and it's damn near 20 years old.
