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.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.
