Worthington predicts five 'Avatar' films


Recommended Posts

Nice trolling. Just shows how ignorant you are. You clearly don't know who Cameron is. He have pushed movie technology for decades.

You should give some credit to Stan Winston.

Give us a pornographic version of Avatar! I want to see some of that hairy action

:whistle:

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel but prob should stop there, there are way too many movie franchises going into the "Friday the 13th/Nightmare on Elm Street" way of thinking about films...

Some movies make sense to have trilogy's and such because of the continued story but not this one so much... (No I'm not trolling just expressing my Opinion)

I think it has more to do with Hollywood then true film making. There is no reason they couldn't make 10 sequels of great quality. Look at some book series and they have delivered a great quality book throughout the entire series.

I love the concept of a series of Avatar films, but I hope it just doesn't turn out to be recycled crap film after film. I'm quite interested to see how they even start the second film, as the first was tied up quite nicely.

:blink:

I consider myself to be a dedicated SciFi fan and I still have zero interest in seeing Avatar. It won't be remembered like Blade Runner, Dark City or Brazil. Heck, even 12 Monkeys will probably age better.

I am in the same mind dude, I love Sci-Fi always have but like you I don't really see myself sitting down to watch it, from the outset and the concept on the film I was like "meh" and I still am. I will never fault it for its visual attraction but you can see from just pictures it looks amazing but no not for me.

same here i have no interest in seeing a movie that stole its title from a cartoon. i don't know how this film is considered revolutionary or considered a brilliant film when it is 85% CGI. i am so glad cameron lost best director to his ex-wife. Also glad it somewhat got kinda snubbed at the oscars. The Hurt locker is what i call a brilliant movie

Eh, I didn't quite see why The Hurt Locker was so great. Although it might be because I was in the military and can't help but call bull**** in some scenes. Of course there were a few scenes that had some problems like the sniper scene (entirely unlikely on its own) where it suddenly transitions from engaging the enemy to the EOD team being dehydrated and weak as if a lot of time had elapsed although there was no indicator of this. It was still overall a good movie but I think it's a tad overrated.

I'm just going to go ahead and ask it, what has Cameron revolutionised?

For Avatar he created an entire new camera system. He did the same for shooting underwater for The Abyss. He has also revolutionized sci-fi on the big screen, for better or for worse.

You're going to make me post this again?... Sheesh

I don't see how capturing CGI from multiple angles is "revolutionary" CGI is CGI, PERIOD. With our without motion capture. And I hate to say it to all you avatar fans out there, but visuals AREN'T the only thing that make a great movie... Heck for that matter, lets have james cameron re-do every movie that has had CGI in it and I dare you to spot a difference ;) Though I will give you he came up with some trick for shooting? Big deal, it's not changing the industry as a whole, people take words for granted...

So IMO... Heath ledger revolutionized how villains are to be portrayed.

Lord of the rings revolutionized make up...

Hell even the bullet time in matrix was a lot more "revolutionizing" then avatars CGI...

/revolution

In the end to each their own mate... I consider myself an avid sci-fi fan and count me in on changing channels if it were to show up on HBO/whatever channel you fancy.

You are entitled to your opinion, of course.

That's true. The story in Avatar wasn't weak but it wasn't anything new either. Of course, Titantic was the same way. Obviously, Cameron is doing something right for so many people to love his work. It's too bad that some of the really great sci-fi classics haven't reached the big screen. They would make some awesome movies.

I am a true blue sci-fi fan and I thought Avatar was great. However, like you said, to each their own.

    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

    • Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
