Scullibundo said:This whole 3D new wave was started by Cameron. He developed much of the tech and was pushing 3D before Katzenberg. He co-developed the 3D Camera's now being used industry-wide for 3D. AVATAR just happened to release later than the first titles. AVATAR has similarly cemented 3D as a bankable medium. It is the benchmark for how 3D should be used in a film. Don't even talk to me about the post-processing bullshit in stuff like UP.
Also, the method of filming used for AVATAR is indeed revolutionary.

2. Sherlock Holmes, looks like it will end up with ~250M or there abouts like Star Trek. Sequel is a lock.
duderon said:I can't argue with how Cameron changed the way 3D is filmed, but the way 3D is showcased leaves much to be desired. This has more to do with the tech than the movie specifically, but the blurriness and dimness of the picture was enough to make me not want to watch another 3D film until these issues are fixed. The 3D was well done, but it was no better than Up. I don't care how it was done, there was nothing in Avatar that made me think, "Wow, I wish all movies were filmed in 3D."
omg rite said:I'm giving in and I'm gonna see it in the next couple days.
I have to admit, I was pushed into hating it before I saw it simply because of Sculli's hype. :lol

I saw it only four times and it's not enough. I have a bootleg version but I just can't bring myself to watch it.DanielPlainview said:Jesus, I feel like I'm slacking. I've only seen it twice, and once was a press screening. Going again during the week though.

omg rite said:I'm pretty much joking. I thought the movie looked terrible and I thought it was silly seeing it hyped up so much which I thought the trailer was laughable.
But apparently it's good so go figure.

DopeyFish said:one thing that will be interesting is if avatar will have legs simply based on the fact people most likely won't be able to watch it again in 3D when it comes home.
omg rite said:I think lots of movies look terrible.
I just usually don't spend my time talking about things I think suck or look bad because what's the point? It annoys me when someone comes into a thread just to say something sucks. I'm negative enough in my own ways as it is. Heh.

Scullibundo said:Dimness is entirely a factor of the theatre projecting it. I've witness dimness in certain theatres and none whatsoever in others. The problem is that theatres don't care to hire professional projectionists anymore these days, let alone people that can properly calibrate a digital projector.

Hamfam said:Although Avatar was a good film that I'd see again....I don't know what could possibly happen in any future sequel.
I mean, surely the story is done now.... what would Avatar 2 be about; The humans coming back and trying to invade again?
Perhaps they could reverse the story somewhat, and some 'evil' part of Pandora threatens the lives of the Navi and the human have got to help destroy it. *shrug*

I would actually pay to see this sequel just for the outraged reaction of moviegoers. The first movie ended with humanity tucking its tail between its legs and running away, big victory for the blue-skinned cat natives... yet you just know back on Earth the humans in charge were just gonna send the military right back, only with 5x the manpower and 20x the firepower to commit planetary genocide if necessary.Hamfam said:Although Avatar was a good film that I'd see again....I don't know what could possibly happen in any future sequel.

More explorations of Pandora or elsewhere (Sam Worthington mentioned visiting other moons of Polythemus), more travels of Jake and Neytiri, further development on what Ewya really is, etc.Hamfam said:Although Avatar was a good film that I'd see again....I don't know what could possibly happen in any future sequel.

There were scenes prepared in the first film to show off just how bad Earth has become. But sadly they were cut from the theatrical version. We're hoping they'll be put back in for an Extended cut.Kung Fu Jedi said:I'm intrigued with what is going on on Earth that it's a hell hole. I'm interested in what else is going on in this Universe? What do we need the ore that is being minded on Pandora for? I think there is more to be told.

As for blurriness, Cameron has wanted to move projection into 48fps for a long time, but that is entirely dependent on theatre systems being able to do it.

Probably. He mentioned that the tech developed with Avatar would be amortized with it's next movie, either Battle Angel or Avatar 2 or anything else.Gamer @ Heart said:I remember reading an interview where cameron sold the insane preproduction costs to fox by saying that the sequels will cost significantly less because the world and tech is already created. Reading that, i just assumed he has something already planned out.
It was supposed to be blue. A bit lighter compared to the skin of the avatar inside.Lion Heart said:You know when Sam is looking at the Avatar floating in the Capsule, is that suppose to be light purple? I dont think it was, fucking cheap ass cinema.
