3:09 LOL yeah Cameron kinder fell off the radar screen for 12 years WTF! The resurfaced. Guess he was doing those small IMAX projects Ghosts of the Abyss
@themainideais yeah and this video was 2 years ago what gives. I'm not as keen on seeing Titanic again I seen at for 6-track Dolby Stereo SR-D at least 12 times and projected it once at Warner village in the late 98 so I prefer 2D and I wish 3D just dies and goes like a bad cinema dream because its kept me away from going to the cinema for 3 years now and its pissing me off enough of the 3D junk!
I didn;t see dances with wolves, so the similarities didnt catch me off guard. I didnt like avatar for three other reasons. One is because the villans have no character development, their just there to die and be a-holes. Two, it stole the name of the greatest cartoon in history. And third and most importantly, the entire film struck me more as political propaganda.
@Dzubur93 looking back in retrospect..i wish Cameron, really did clean up the story and script a bit. I mean, it had Fantastic VFX, and possibly the best 3D (That being said, i still hate it as a format)...but such a lackluster, cut n' paste story.
@lenrat117 No because that movie sucked. Jk it was a pretty good movie but just because it has similar plot elements don't mean shit. People borrow shit all the time. It only matters if they make it original enough in other areas for people to watch and enjoy which avatar clearly did.
It's archetypal source is barely veiled beneath it's futuristic setting.
It's not even a restructured archetype. Worst of all, it's yet ANOTHER hackneyed "battle climax" film, that gets even worse when it's peak moment is a deus ex machina. Seriously, how in the fuck can you spend that much money on a cliche`? Shockingly overrated film.
James Cameron biggest hypocrite ever. Why don't you care about canadians natives? Why dont you protest against canadian's polution? Why do you have to interfere in brazilian's matters? Go take care of canadian's florests and stop to say bullshit about brazilian's ones.
I couldn't help noticing the room he's in -- I believe that's his office and I can see the steering wheel from Titanic and the hand from the Terminator. Super cool.
Cameron's contribution to mainstream cinema is fairly substantial, but surely people watching this interview smile when he says that he doesn't want to "make the same thing twice."
I friggin' loved Avatar.I don't care about what all of these haters have to say, it blew me away when I saw it in theaters for the first time. Hell, since then I've seen it at least 7 times.
@Hoppus217 If you think Avatar sucked, what's an example of a movie which doesn't suck? In your opinion, which movie has a thick plot with well-built characters?
"Terminator 2 - Judgement day" was the peak of his creativity and by my opinion the peak in film industry by any criteria (True masterpiece). He created parallel reality with enormous details and background and 100s and 100s of hours of expensive movie material just to make it more realistic in a final cut. "The Terminator" and "Aliens" were fantastic but Avatar is only hi-tech first look make-up lame-hollywood movie.
Cameron is the guy who made terminator and Avatar but personally I feel Judgement Day was simply more believable and I could connect with it and as far as Avatar is concerned I just couldn't connect with the film. I felt I was watching Dances with Wolves in 3D and on much bigger scale. Avatar to me was a show reel of technology and thats all you see where classic way of storytelling takes a backseat. And I am not much into sci fi, I prefer smaller and simpler human stories which i can relate to
im not really a cameron fan , i felt avatars plot was a bit thin and relied more on a focus on the visual element of the film. I also feel the film went on for too long and within the first hour i was bored by the shallow story line and the amazing special effects ceased to amaze me.
@Hoppus217 So if a movie doesn't have very good characters and plot but has an amazing setting and incredible special effects it completely sucks in your book. That seems a bit extreme. I was dazzled, it was worth the time and money to go see.
@sellgre2es Dude, no, terminator and titanic are classic masterpieces. Only hipsters don`t like something just because it`s hyped or mainstream. Those are classics that anyone should watch once in their lifetime. But, nevermind, i don`t have time for this, i have to study.
@MrSatanochio titanic got boring real fast. the dialogue i mean. to the point where i just fast forward till the end and see all the people die lol. terminator i love to death.
everything in his head will be 3d not in mine and if i ever madea film who had the 70's as a fucking theme then fuck his idea 100% he can fuck off i wouldnt even shake the guys hand
Avatar isn't overrated. It was just overhyped is all. I saw it opening day, so I wasn't bombared with hype before seeing it, because nobody saw it before me. And from that point of view, I loved it.
Though I will admit, it's not my "favourite" James Cameron movie. My favourites are still Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Aliens. Those are some of the best movies out there. :)
i love all the comments. Everyone talks they could even do a fraction of what is being said here. Personally I think movies are a very underrated entertainment. It should be more like going to the Opera, like a big event that only happens a few times a year.
Avatar is pure Beauty. It´s Art. It´s an out of the box movie. A movie "out of this word" James Cameron Is a Genious =). People need to start making more movies that are set on a different scenario than earth. That´s why i love science fiction. It takes an enormous ammount of creativity and talent to come up with the things the great film makers have come with up all these years =). Plus space is beautiful. Sure we were borned in this planet. But we also need to explore ;)
James Cameron is THE MAN! He looks so cool here. I don't see how you can call him an "asshole" when you watch JC do interviews like this. He's confident. Not arrogant. Those are two very different things. Given the enormous success of Titanic and Avatar, Cameron has every reason to be confident.
anyone who is saying that james cameron is full of him self or avatar is not a big deal is extremely art-blind and only an the artists know that because only people with this kind of vision can understand for real the brilliance of avatar and jims vision for it
@gapanlilio33 Your a stupid internet tool who is a "Follower" of other stupid tools who follow what ever is popular at the moment. One movie does not need to be the bashing of another movie you can like one or another you don't have to like both but box office speaks otherwise cuz Dark knight is barried along with inception by Avatar so cry and whine all you want you INT GETTING NUMBER ONE but you will talk shit like cuz you are a too lwho likes to hate what ever is successful.
@Dccole3214 Ok you are a TOOL-BAG!!! You are a sewer rat!! WHo hangs out on the gutter of youtube comments section. You are angry at Avatar and Justin Beiber for being famous while you work at Mcdonalds!! If you want to be something go out and be it loser!!!
@IcingINtheshower You have more comments on here than I do. Use your head you dirty little chode. How can I be angry at Avatar? It's a movie idiot. I'm not angry at successful people, just the ones that think they are better than everyone like James Cameron. BTW, nice job spelling Bieber. Go beck to 1st grade and learn how to spell. Until then don't comment back.
@Dccole3214 I knew your TOOL-BAG-ASS would comment on the spelling. Your are such a bone head. JC is a success so you are angry at him it is a fact based on yer time wasted here bashing him when he is not doing anything harmful to you. Yer a tool. BBEEBER is another example too.
@HotPocketsBoy U are a tool and you did not understand one bit of Inception. You will be a DRONE for what I feed you you will do what I tell you and you will like it becuz you want to FIT IN and feel important which is why you conform to angry Justin Bieber hate over this intelligent andd SUCCESSFUL man.
@IcingINtheshower of course i understood inception. it not hard to understand unless ur an idiot. i dont hate james cameron. i dont know where u got that from terminator 2 is da shit
@ironman217007 No, you are just a drone who hates things that are successful and you think you know something, have some understanding about Nolan when really you are just a follower with no insight on anything of what matters.

@IcingINtheshower Haha, coming from a guy named icingintheshower. Really? James Cameron is the biggest asshole I have ever seen. Quit sucking his cock and do a little research bitch.
He didn't build any team, or any "NEEEEWWW TECHNOLOGY" everyting was there for the past 10 years, adn even other directors and movies implemented this tech. He's movie does not show anything new or any new idea. "His DESIGNS" are not his designs are the concept artist that worked on it and the actors only did referince for some other 3D animators (much like Pixar animators)
I don;t hate him or Avatar... it just that it's way way WAY to full of himself. :)
@EnergizerBunny804 You sir are an idiot,the man himself says it is one of his greatest works.Who are you to say him the guy who made these amazing movies is wrong.You and 9 other people simply just do not like the movie,millions would disagree.
please, Avatar is easily the most overrated film of all time, right up there with Paranormal Activity, I've never heard a valid argument for Avatar being a good film, that didn't simply refer to how appealing it was to the eye, other than the visuals, seriously, what is so great about it? even the visuals aren't very creative, they just look good, seriously, it's just rain forest covered with some glow in the dark paint. The story was un-original, the characters were boring, totally overrated.
@EnergizerBunny804 Is that why it passed out even the titanic in popularity???I have seen hundreds of movies like most people nowadays,the story in my opinion is rly interesting and the pacing is very good,how good a job james does in showing us how the blue people(nari or sumthin like itha??) live,their culture and all that makes them who they are gives people a lot of respect for them and helps people feel sad for them when the humans attack them.
Do you think it's Cameron's worst film? Terminator 1 & 2 had characters that were better right? and do you think it's on par with David Lynch's 1984 expensive epic-fail of a Sci-fi trainwreck known as Dune?
All these snobby faux "movies buffs" need to shut up about Avatar. It was a good movie. Most of James Cameron's movies are really good, including Avatar. Was it the best movie of all time? No, but it was quite good. If Avatar had a lower budget or bombed, it would have been "artisitc" or "underground." Just because something was successful and main stream doesn't make it bad.
@pelkeroni absolutely agree, Pulp Fiction is one of the best films of all time, and it was very successful. Avatar was TERRIBLE!!!! get it through your head that I don't dislike it because it was successful, it's because other than it's visuals, which were really fantastic, it was hollow inside. It's a film that should be seen in theaters just to experience it, but it was terrifically boring and way to long.
@TheBoomViper most critics have said that it's really nothing special in terms of plot or story. just that it's an un-deniable technical achievement, and for many critics this has been enough to either overlook the story, or perhaps they didn't find the story as bad as I did. but nobody in their right mind could consider it a grandiose achievement in any area besides technology and visuals.
Perhaps you'd care to familiarize yourself with the consensus given to Avatar on RottenTomatoes[com]:
---
It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron's singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.
The narrative would be ho-hum without the spectacle. But what spectacle! Avatar is dizzying, enveloping, vertiginous ... I ran out of adjectives an hour into its 161 minutes
Hype and overly zealous fans be equally damned, Avatar remains a fine, if flawed, film
Avatar looks amazing on Blu-ray If the plot wasn't so pedestrian it could have been a great film
Who needs 3D? The Blu-ray Avatar jumps off the small screen until the director's clunky moralizing takes over
if it runs out of imagination and even some credibility when it comes to the plot, well, there is still enough on the screen to qualify as entertaining eye candy
Nothing destroys a decent movie more than calling it great, and while this one's a little better than decent, it's definitely a long way from great
Action-heavy epic has dazzling effects, familiar story.
For all its flaws as art, Mr. Cameron has served up functional entertainment with a gigantic price tag
So then why didn't films like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or Terminator Salvation obtain such high marks from most critics? Oops, well what do you know! For the same reasons you attribute to Avatar. It seems you fail to understand that paper-thin story is fine, so long as it is carried by good storytelling, and that's why Avatar was praised. It retold a classic story well, just like THE THING and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and many others, remember those?
first off, revenge of the fallen is nothing special in terms of visuals, and the story is so awful it deserves nothing more than to be trashed. and second, I thought Avatar was terrible, and the story wasn't enough for ME, I don't care if people say they like it, what I really find annoying is when people act like the story is something so fantastic, it's not, it's a very familiar story, even if its told well and it certainly does not deserve to be considered any kind of classic or landmark film
Avatar is certainly no masterpiece...not by a long shot. But...it was judged by the relative majority of professional film critics as a very good film, and for a number of good reasons. Now, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, granted, but some would beg to differ whether it's an amazing film or not.
@TheBoomViper yes, that word amazing it's when people call it amazing, if Avatar's amazing that whats Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Schindler's List etc. etc. and there is no denying how Avatar has sucked people in, and far too many people with an opinion of it which I truly think it doesn't deserve it.
The movie was good, but you scared me with your edgy environmental message. The world isn't in that much trouble. We don't need to identify with the creation. There's nothing TO identify with anyway.
Oh yeah, the earth really isn't in that much trouble. Except for dwindling ressources, the mercury-poisoned rainforest (but don't we burn that down anyway, huh?), the erosion of soil, desertification, water scarcity, salting of soil, extermination of species and even whole ecosystems, nuclear waste that is highly poisonous and will be radioactive for 100000 years, ozone hole, Great Pacific Garbage Patch, smog, mining and poisoning the earth, biological pollution with GMOs, etc. etc.
James Cameron said it himself the best. We should gain an emotional reaction from Avatar, and translate that emotional response into action. I know many people who have received an emotional response, yet they have moved on... It's disappointing.
@HonorGuard117 i agree and i have to say that im one of them, i've taken small steps of action but my heart wants move in leaps and bounds but haven't quiet figured out how, or when or even why i haven't been moved enough to do so
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he doesn't look too happy.
haha, remember he was SO convinced that he would get the Best Picture Oscar? haha, too good! he had a moments reserve of "hey wait a minute, that's my award" look on his face!
maybe he shouldn't have pimped Kathryn Bigelow out so much eh:?
um no... James Cameron was hoping for one but expected not to win. Sci fi films never win best picture. One never has won or probably ever will. Oscars are politics. If you think the movie that actually DESERVES best picture wins, then your an idiot.

Ego maniac :))))
He didn't build any team, or any "NEEEEWWW TECHNOLOGY" everyting was there for the past 10 years, adn even other directors and movies implemented this tech. He's movie does not show anything new or any new idea. "His DESIGNS" are not his designs are the concept artist that worked on it and the actors only did referince for some other 3D animators (much like Pixar animators)
I don;t hate him or Avatar... it just that it's way way WAY to full of himself. :)

please, Avatar is easily the most overrated film of all time, right up there with Paranormal Activity, I've never heard a valid argument for Avatar being a good film, that didn't simply refer to how appealing it was to the eye, other than the visuals, seriously, what is so great about it? even the visuals aren't very creative, they just look good, seriously, it's just rain forest covered with some glow in the dark paint. The story was un-original, the characters were boring, totally overrated.
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
@EnergizerBunny804 Is that why it passed out even the titanic in popularity???I have seen hundreds of movies like most people nowadays,the story in my opinion is rly interesting and the pacing is very good,how good a job james does in showing us how the blue people(nari or sumthin like itha??) live,their culture and all that makes them who they are gives people a lot of respect for them and helps people feel sad for them when the humans attack them.

Do you think it's Cameron's worst film? Terminator 1 & 2 had characters that were better right? and do you think it's on par with David Lynch's 1984 expensive epic-fail of a Sci-fi trainwreck known as Dune?

All these snobby faux "movies buffs" need to shut up about Avatar. It was a good movie. Most of James Cameron's movies are really good, including Avatar. Was it the best movie of all time? No, but it was quite good. If Avatar had a lower budget or bombed, it would have been "artisitc" or "underground." Just because something was successful and main stream doesn't make it bad.
pelkeroni 1 year ago
@pelkeroni absolutely agree, Pulp Fiction is one of the best films of all time, and it was very successful. Avatar was TERRIBLE!!!! get it through your head that I don't dislike it because it was successful, it's because other than it's visuals, which were really fantastic, it was hollow inside. It's a film that should be seen in theaters just to experience it, but it was terrifically boring and way to long.

TheBoomViper 1 year ago
@TheBoomViper most critics have said that it's really nothing special in terms of plot or story. just that it's an un-deniable technical achievement, and for many critics this has been enough to either overlook the story, or perhaps they didn't find the story as bad as I did. but nobody in their right mind could consider it a grandiose achievement in any area besides technology and visuals.

@EnergizerBunny804
Perhaps you'd care to familiarize yourself with the consensus given to Avatar on RottenTomatoes[com]:
---
It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron's singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.

The narrative would be ho-hum without the spectacle. But what spectacle! Avatar is dizzying, enveloping, vertiginous ... I ran out of adjectives an hour into its 161 minutes
Hype and overly zealous fans be equally damned, Avatar remains a fine, if flawed, film
Avatar looks amazing on Blu-ray If the plot wasn't so pedestrian it could have been a great film
Who needs 3D? The Blu-ray Avatar jumps off the small screen until the director's clunky moralizing takes over
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
A spectacular visual experience unlike anything you've seen before.
It's the experience, more than the story, that's worth celebrating here.
For all its powerful technologies, Avatar can't get out from under its essential cardboardness.
Alternates between a slurry of Franz Marc expressionism and the most elaborate Thundercats episode ever made
When all the hype and hullabaloo about Avatar calms down, we will be left with a film that's no masterpiece, but still well worth seeing.
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
Avatar is overlong, dramatically two-dimensional, smug and simplistic.
In spite of the amazing effects, it's yet another lemon from Cameron...
A wonder to behold, a story to forget.
And with this, the film decade comes to a disappointing conclusion.
Forget dancing with wolves, howzabout doing the Funky Chicken with aliens?
Avatar is great to look at, often astonishing and sometimes beautiful. But, oh, is the story pedestrian.
Enough toys to please all the kiddies in the audience.
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
a bold and imaginative vision brought low by a script that plays it very, very safe
And for the epic battle at the end, well let me just say it's as believable as the Ewoks beating the Empire at the end of Return of the Jedi.
It's a remote-control movie experience, a high-tech "wish you were here" scribbled on a very expensive postcard.
The film gets the closest any has to fulfilling the 3-D format's fundamental mission of creating a new, immersive way of looking at movies.
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
if it runs out of imagination and even some credibility when it comes to the plot, well, there is still enough on the screen to qualify as entertaining eye candy
Nothing destroys a decent movie more than calling it great, and while this one's a little better than decent, it's definitely a long way from great
Action-heavy epic has dazzling effects, familiar story.
For all its flaws as art, Mr. Cameron has served up functional entertainment with a gigantic price tag

@EnergizerBunny804
So then why didn't films like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or Terminator Salvation obtain such high marks from most critics? Oops, well what do you know! For the same reasons you attribute to Avatar. It seems you fail to understand that paper-thin story is fine, so long as it is carried by good storytelling, and that's why Avatar was praised. It retold a classic story well, just like THE THING and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and many others, remember those?
TheBoomViper 1 year ago
first off, revenge of the fallen is nothing special in terms of visuals, and the story is so awful it deserves nothing more than to be trashed. and second, I thought Avatar was terrible, and the story wasn't enough for ME, I don't care if people say they like it, what I really find annoying is when people act like the story is something so fantastic, it's not, it's a very familiar story, even if its told well and it certainly does not deserve to be considered any kind of classic or landmark film
EnergizerBunny804 1 year ago
@EnergizerBunny804
Avatar is certainly no masterpiece...not by a long shot. But...it was judged by the relative majority of professional film critics as a very good film, and for a number of good reasons. Now, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, granted, but some would beg to differ whether it's an amazing film or not.
TheBoomViper 1 year ago
@TheBoomViper yes, that word amazing it's when people call it amazing, if Avatar's amazing that whats Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Schindler's List etc. etc. and there is no denying how Avatar has sucked people in, and far too many people with an opinion of it which I truly think it doesn't deserve it.
