    Why is everyone saying he'll use AI? Boring or not, he did make visually amazing movies with cgi. What makes you think he'll cheat?

        I had the same feeling after the first one after delaying watching it for 15 years. It's really not a good movie. I don't get the hype.

        I enjoyed the first, in the cinema in 3d, it felt designed to be watched in 3d, rather then the tacked on bullshit jumpscare the rest of the 3d era movies were

          The third one is easily my favorite. Action packed from beginning to end, and absolutely beautiful.

          I sat and watched, didn't feel to bored, very surprised actually, but the test is, I feel, how much money would I accept to go watch it again? I think it would be quite painful.

                Or, hear me out, you could use your impressive creativity to make other non-Avatar movies that are beloved classics like you were making before Avatar.

                The indiginous species have been oppressed by the shitty humans for 3 movies now. WE GET IT.

                    This one only brought in 1.2 billion dollars so far. It's only the 29th highest grossing film of all time!

                            Vfx cheaper. But in this article and everywhere else he does stress "if they do make one". It's clear he won't if he can't. I don't think he would use AI.

                              It definitely sounds like that to me.

                                Would making the movies cheaper translate into cheaper ticket prices? My local is $26 a ticket now. It's ridiculous! I'm not going to see everything that comes out when it costs that much, and we've got access to streaming now.

                                  If James Cameron's; Muppet Avatar: The Way of Fuzz happens, I might never watch any other movie, ever again.

                                    wish he would go back to making cheaper movies and working within a constraint set. his older stuff was way better.

                                      ...it was the first (and one of the few) well-produced modern 3D film and mustered a plurality of its box office return on the hype surrounding that novelty...

                                          I have an idea: cut the film length in half, remove the warfare and turn it into a nature documentary.

                                          My mom really likes the movies, so I went with her to the cinema. I like the progress in CGI and have read their papers on water rendering a bunch of times, and I can feel myself getting immersed when things start off. They are beautiful worlds with so much creativity!

                                          And then the warfare starts and it all turns into a CGI mess with no story value. Such a disappointment.
