Thought I'd take a look at how visionary directors leave us speechless, let me know what visionary director you gravitate towards the most !!
Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, David Fincher, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, George Miller, Christopher Nolan , edgar wright and Zack Snyder.
@Fabian Mayer Peter Jackson really did something special with Lord Of The Rings, they'll stand the test of time for sure. Aliens by James Cameron is perfect, he hasn't surpassed that film yet, maybe never will.
@Fabian Mayer I wanted so much to like King Kong and The Hobbit, I came out of the theater thinking :" Damn, I could see the effort but not the magic, maybe his next film..." You're right about Braindead and Bad Taste 😆 Those two would never get made nowadays.
still plan on doing a ''How to MAKE the MCU Spider-Man 6''?
@@geassrailfantitan3414 yeap
Honestly, I think a lot of people are sleeping on Avatar 2. I think regardless of the quality, whenever it does release, it’s going to blow everyone away visually.
I agree with. James Cameron is a legendary director.
Yeah I think so too. There just so much hate for this movie already. Even though the sequel has been taking a long time to come out. I'm still interested in seeing what James Cameron has for us cuz it better be worh it.
@@makhiswinging302 yeah for whatever reason everyone is hating the movie, and I don't understand why.
@@killer92173 😂 maybe because James Cameron criticised Marvel movies in the past and some or many superhero fans got offended with it
@@kaustubhpalkar792 The fact that he only started critizing the comic book movie genre when Endgame was beating Avatar and then rerealesing it less than a year later yet the sequel was still 2 years away seemed kinda salty.
James Cameron is a legendary director. I really want to see how avatar 2 will be.
Go see Alita Battle Angel!
@@EnigmaSeeker2012UAP why?
I have to rewatch avatar 1 lmao
The battle sequences towards the end of Avatar put other movies to shame. Where others are usually just a confusing cgi mess, Avatar action scenes have a flow about them, it's like action movie poetry. All of Cameron's films are like this, I was blown away by the last part of Avatar for that reason. Can't wait to see what he comes up with in the second film.
@@rainflowers1099 I think the second one is also going to be mind blowing.
I'd love to see Avatar become something like Star Wars. The first movie had simple plot and archetypical characters as well, but it started a huge worldbuilding project. A universe that you just want to dive into and explore.
Seems like it's going that way somewhat.
They definitely took a long time to make a second film......
I will never EVER forget the movie experience I had seeing Avatar, opening weekend, IMAX 3D. I was completely and totally immersed into Pandora and completely lost touch of my surroundings. The visuals, the music, just the entire “flow” and pacing of the movie is absolutely flawless. I have not had a movie-going experience like that before or since. Even Avengers Endgame didn’t have that effect on me.
Yes the characters aren’t the greatest, the acting was average, some of the dialogue is super cringy, and the story is super simple and predictable.
But the technical masterpiece and visual and audio experience that James Cameron created allowed the movie to be more than just a “movie” for me. The 3D effects were mind-blowing. The imagination of Pandora and the biology and ecosystem created within the worlds was very convincing and allowed you to immerse yourself into this world.
I remember having “goosebumps” many times by how amazing the experience I was having was, and I cried when “Home Tree” was brought down.
I’ve seen Avatar dozens of times since, and I absolutely cannot wait for the sequels to start arriving. I know James has poured everything over the past 13 years into this movie and the sequels. His is easily one of the greatest movie creators of our time. I have a feeling Avatar 2 will be much like Terminator 2 and completely change the entire film industry once again and become an instant iconic film. Really looking forward to what Mr. Cameron and his crew have been working on this entire time.
I can say the same! It was a complete imersive experience I’ll never forget.
I remember when the movie ended and the lights turned on, I was in shock thinking “oh man how am I going to return to my boring reality now?” 😅
This was the perfect comment, Dude. 🤟🏽
Absolutely agree, the immersive nature of it, the 3D, was like nothing I'd seen before or since. Me and my friend were walking around the supermarket afterwards thinking reality looked so bland! haha. I always thought the end 3rd or so action sequences were particularly incredible. They make other films look amateur by comparison. I can't wait to see this new one in 3D in the cinema, at the very least it will look amazing. People are underestimating how big this film will be, I'm sure word of mouth made the last one so big, and it will again I reckon.
Well said. Avatar isn't a normal movie, not something you watch on your laptop, phone, or even TV. It's a visual spectacle and immersive experience, and something that had to be seen in the largest screen available with 3D (IMAX for the win). If you watch Avatar on your 14 inch MacBook, your only takeaways would be that the CGI was pretty good. If you watched it the way it's supposed to, your takeaways are you want to live on Pandora.
The spectacular 3D effects in Avatar changed the way Hollywood makes movies. Before Avatar 3D was mostly a cheesy gimmick. After Avatar pretty much all major sci-fi, fantasy, and comicbook movies start coming out with 3D versions in parallel to 2D versions.
3D before Cameron...
czcams.com/video/8SJY6w0HD50/video.html
I think the common criticism of Avatar that the characters are just archetypes is completely misses the point. Them been the archetypal is not a flaw but the whole point of the story Cameron is telling. The most meaningful, deep, universal, and timeless stories humanity has - that being myths and legends, are all archetypal and can not exist in any other way. Avatar is not simplistic, it is mythical. The characters are not one dimentional, they are the archetypal embodiments of human virtues and also vices.
The ironic thing about the common criticism that Avatar is just "Dances With Wolves in space" is that Avatar will most likely (and in many ways, already has) superseded Dances With Wolves in almost every way. It's a good movie, but for all the crap Avatar gets about not being the first one to do this type of story, it's not like Dances With Wolves was the first "stranger comes to town" story. It doesn't matter who did what first. What matters is who did it most effectively in the way that will impact the most people and last the longest in terms of relevance. And again, it's ironic that while people say Avatar is not relevant and "nobody talks about it"... nobody talks about Dances With Wolves either, EXCEPT when they're using it to talk about Avatar.
With the coming sequels, along with the place in history that Avatar earned in terms of box office and setting the 3D trend, as well as the technological breakthroughs, etc... Avatar did so much more than just tell the same basic story as other movies, and it'll live a lot longer as a memorable movie because of that. Nobody is showing their kids Dances With Wolves. They're showing their kids Avatar. By the time we do get to Avatar 5, whenever that may end up being... this franchise will have earned an even more significant place in box office and film history. Anybody thinking it somehow won't just doesn't understand that general movie audiences don't give one half of one percent of the crap that film snobs do about Avatar being "unoriginal" or "simplistic"... they liked the pretty blue alien movie and they'll go see more pretty blue alien movies. They'll pay the highest possible price for the 3D IMAX D-BOX DOLBY ATMOS SCREEN-X 4D VIP showing with Advance Digital Copy of the pretty blue alien movie.
@@AWSVids dances with wolves has withstood the test of time and is still drawing in the younger generations. The sudden influx of reaction videos is a testament to this.
Nevertheless, if you spend 165237544 millions of dollars making a movie, you could very well spend one or two with a few script drafts and revisions to these "archetypes" , and I'm saying this as fan of the movie.
Having no WOKE crap its good
Avatar didn't become the first movie to make $2 *billion* in its original run because CG, or 3D, or whatever techno-babble, but it did because those things *and* what you mentioned, as well as the themes of a group of homies stopping the forces of imperialism, family, & (I hope) environmentalism, as well as the fact that it's ultimately just one helluva cinematic experience. The fact that it's No. 1 at the box office again is a testament to all that & who Cameron is as a filmmaker.
So many people have such an intimate connection to Avatar, it’s incredible, the energy. Avatar saved my spirit during a devastatingly dark time in my life and it’s something I can’t forget. James Cameron creates truth in beauty. I get emotional whenever I hear about the project- I will be balling my eyes out in the theater. So much connection. Humans crave it. We are so greedy
Thank you for actually seeing the point of Avatar and not jumping on the "it's not original enough" argument. Star Wars A New Hope even when it released was about as far from original as you could get but no one cared because the groundbreaking effects and visuals helped tell it in a way you'd never seen before. But now everything needs to be David Fincher or Martin Scorsese or it's not good enough.
Exactly
Exactly! Just because Fincher and Scorsese make artistic movies does not make Spielberg and Cameron sidelined. Scorsese can't create a trex scene from jurassic park, Fincher can't even come close to making the T2 truck chase scenes. Those moments are "cinematic" masterpieces.
Meh its boring as hell and not as good as it's ripped Pocahontas
@@darkangellew and you unfortunately HAVE missed the point, congratulations, you're a follower.
@@darkangellew I disagree. I think Avatar is the best retelling of the Pocahontas story ever put on film
Avatar 2 is going to have revolutionary 3D. James Cameron always pushes the bar. It's truly going to be an experience
I want to watch Avatar 2 and 3 simply to see what happens when Cameron writes a multi-movie story arc before starting to film anything, and then actually gets them filmed. Sequels these days (even in the MCU) tend to falter because they are developed piece-meal and slap-dash, one installment at a time. I support the opposite approach: plan ahead, even if only a tiny sliver of that vision makes it to the screen.
Yes. Lord of the rings benefited from this approach as well. Lengthy pre production , scripts 1-3 written in advance
It’s remarkable how people still doubt Cameron. Sure, I wasn’t too enthused one of my favourite directors became enamoured with 10foot blue aliens, yet the proven pedigree he has suggests this will be an enormous success.
It’s boggles the mind. He shatters the box office record with Titanic. And then with his next movie decimates that record by over a billion more. Anyone who doubts him is a damn fool. Can’t wait for him to school everyone again in December.
James Cameron is from a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada. He is a super star when it comes to direction and creation. Love the conversation between him and fellow Canadian director Denis Villeneuve. Cameron is also really close friends with Guillermo del Toro, who lives in Toronto as Mexico was too unsafe for him and his family. Cameron even gave money to rescue his family from gangs in Mexico.
As a huge fan of EVERYTHING James Cameron have done, I'm absolutely exciting about Avatar 2. Lot of people in the internet today just like to mock Avatar and not understand why is STILL the highest grossing film of all times (sorry Endgame) and why it did it organically, without the need of a Universe of films, or be the sequel of something, is this vision that James have that he as you describe manage to WOW us, watching Avatar in cinema was an EXPERIENCE, just like watching Terminator 1 and 2, Star Wars, that first Avengers, The Dark Knight, Md Max Fury Road, Jurassic Park, E.T, etc.....was looking at MOVIE MAGIC, something that you see and ask.....HOW THE HELL THEY DO THAT?...and the fact that Cameron, comically almost take so damn long to do films is always because he is chasing that impossible vision, that technology, never seen before, the reason even ideas he had like Alita Battle Angel, didn't become a reality like 20 years ago when he got the rights, have to wait because the technology wasn't there yet, just like Avatar. These amazing artists, the George Lucas, the Steven Spielberg's, The Guillermo del Toro's the Ridley Scotts, now days the Denis Villeneuve's of the world, are chasing that VISION, that why you get so inspired by their works, more than any AVENGERS MCU films will ever do. I didn´t knew why James wanted to do 4 films in a row....but now I start to understand, the madman have a VISION again and he is going harder than ever to make it a reality, the way even filming the idea of the kids NOW, is actually.....genius, something films like Harry Potter never thought, now knowing that and this is probably just 1 example of what he is doing.......man I'm more exciting about this.
you are right, but the MCU & Harry Potter have been great inspiration, mind blowing experiences & contributed greatly to our culture too.
Concur
It's trailer out
it's simple really. Avatar came out in 2009 and it wasn't a big deal the first weekend. But word go out that it was an EXPERIENCE and that it had to be seen in theaters.
That was 13 years ago. Technology has improved. 3D has improved. Projection has improved. But movies in general have gotten worse.
I expect Avatar 2 to gross $4B-$5B worldwide without breaking a sweat whether the movie itself is good or not. The tech is bulletproof.
Love Cameron's work. Also Lucas deserves massive credit cause He created ILM. They worked on & created the visual effects in all these iconic films. Literally movie magic!
I knew Lucas was rich but I didn’t know he was almost 6 billion rich. Like holy cow.
George should've had Cameron help him with the prequels.
@@kangtheconqueror8359 He asked a few directors including Ron Howard, but they didn’t want to deal with the weight of a massive franchise
@@jorgelacayo5688 Yes but it was his funding that made it possible. Money talks.
What about the money studios made with the success of Star Wars franchise including merchandise. Lucas created a brand that's still so huge, definitely bigger than Avatar. talking bout funding, Studios funded Titanic with highest budget at that time, a generic love story garbed in an epic tragedy, plot points and dialogues were also plagiarised from classic black n white Night to Remember movie. It worked but if it hadn't then Cameron would have to make his R Rated Spider-Man movie in 90s cancelled one, because he was broke. Lucas kick started a grander vision of an iconic mythos a superior brand with his vision while also creating room by enticing studio to fund ILM which is still prominent and one of the biggest visual effects studio that does work for many blockbusters including Avatar and other franchises. Lucas vision for that brand paved way for future generations and a company that's still relevant while inspiring Cameron to pursue filmmaking. Cameron admitted Star Wars inspired him. So yeah MONEY TALKS but not without a greater vision which ofcourse Lucas and Cameron had.
Thirteen years later and Avatar is still my favorite movie ever. I'm eager to return to Pandora after all this time! :D
Avatar 2 will be the first James Cameron film I see in theaters...my anticipation is at a fever pitch!
I've also never seen any of his films in the theater; I was too young to see Avatar in IMAX 3D, so I've avoided watching it because I'm hoping the first Avatar gets re-released in theaters, and I want to see it on the big screen.
@@kentslocum Also hoping for a re-release of the first one, but chances are low; we barely get those in my country. Last month I really wanted to see The Godfather on the big screen on its 50th Anniversary but there was not a single showing nationwide!
@@samazwe seriously man, even here at my place i wanted to watch the 50th anniversary release of the godfather but did not happen. I just hope avatar gets a re-release before the second comes out.
@@samazwe Tough. The experience of watching Godfather in Dolby here in LA only affirms my belief in the movie theater experience. It's the right setting to really appreciate it as a timeless work of art. And Avatar in theaters felt life changing at the time for me. I hope find a way to see it.
Great video. I think most people vastly underestimate James Cameron and what's coming with Avatar 2. To be honest, the first Star Wars movie wasn't complex either and also had archetypal characters with little depth. But Cameron is now building on this like George Lucas and is planning, as well as filming, four sequels simultaneously! Don't bet against James Cameron.
I hope we get to see the trailer very soon.
On 6 may
@@AnkushKumar-cu1tu ok
@@AnkushKumar-cu1tu is that confirmed?
@@inanimatemist8610 yes
@Kaustubh anand Palkar That’s in theaters, the trailer will be available to watch on CZcams sometime before then
The wait for this has been longer then the first. The wait could either cause the flick to underperform or do just as well as the previous if not better. I know I sort of rag on the lack of originality from the first, but it’s still a well made film and I’m very curious of it’s sequel.
Go see Alita Battle Angel 👍
I have these Movies in my collection.... Terminator, Star Wars 1-6, Titanic, Aliens, Avatar.... Thank you for these.... I watch these all the time... As a movie fan, I'm looking forward to Avatar 2.....
I just watched Avatar for the first time and I thought it was great. Still holds up fantastic today so I can’t imagine what it was like to see it in theaters back when it came out. I’m definitely looking forward to Avatar 2.
It was incredible in 3D at the cinema, I haven't seen anything like it before or since, and I've seen a few films in 3D since. Go and see this new one in 3D, if it's anything like the first, it will be an experience :) try and sit in the exact middle of the cinema if possible, just slightly to the right or left of exact Center. If that makes sense! haha
It’s one of those films where you just have to see it in cinema to really be engrossed in the film
I would also include Peter Jackson in this group of visionaries you mention
+1
King kong 2005 was incredible. First time graphics left me in awe
The dinosaur stampede is one of the worst CG scenes ever.
@@lucasoheyze4597 But the fight between the T-rex and kong... breathtaking (for its time 2005)
I think "Aliens" showed as much if not more vision. No CGI, real models, in camera tricks, and a relatively low budget to work with. Yet he created an epic bombastic rollercoaster of an experience that I have yet to tire of watching.
You couldn't create alien worlds with practical effects, there's a reason film is an evolving medium.
@@millabasset1710 you certainly could
I think what a lot of people tend to brush past is that there is thematic depth in Avatar's "thin" characterizations. A lot of it is implicit, like how Quaritch's callsign is 'Papa Dragon' and pilots both a ship and mecha bearing a dragon insignia, the latter of which features a giant knife and the stature to just beat out that of the Na'vi (the fact that he's been resurrected as on in the sequel is also fascinating); the symbolism is self-explanatory, but the psychology is subtle. He's obsessed with asserting his dominance over the 'Other', which he deems inferior. He operates through intimidation and fear, which is how all colonizing military leaders _have_ to think in order to be successful. Unless you're of a sort that believes [alien] colonial takeover is destined fate for all indigenous beings, you'd find the moral grey area to be inherently quite thin.
As for Jake, the fact that he is, as a man, unremarkable is so intentional that it's brought up at multiple points in the story as being the explicit reason for him being accepted by the Na'vi; he's a blank slate. When he requests to be taught their ways, Mo'at tells him "it is hard to fill a cup that is already full" to which he responds by telling her his cup's just about empty. He doesn't have attachments or investments in his old life on Earth, and only has space to learn and reinvent himself -- something that not even Grace or Norm had, despite their aspirations to learn from the Na'vi as well.
There are many other examples, but the point is that Avatar affords itself a much deeper assessment of character than most people are willing to provide them purely due to the fact that they assume they know the ins-and-outs of such a familiar story, and therefor don't extend the same introspection to its characters.
I agree to this. There's a scene in the new movie (sorry for potential spoilers) where Quaritch, now in an Avatar body, revisits the site of his death and hold his old skull in his hand. His expression and action that follow speak more to how he feels than any words could, and potentially conflicting emotions at the same time. Or maybe I'm reaching, but the fact that I CAN still says something, I think.
@@FlyingFocs You're not reaching at all. He's the type of character to not show their complexities easily, but merely by the benefit of spending more time with him in The Way of Water in a compromising state, it reveals so much. His eyes are brimming with tears holding that skull, then he crushes it and carries on, reborn. Incredible character moment.
@@MirandaAndUh I take it as a combination of resentment for his current situation, and a declaration "I will never be this weak again."
Also a since that, on some level, he cares about Spider, or at least doesn't want to see him harmed. (Also, holy crap, Neytiri was terrifying in *that* scene. And I loved it.)
@@FlyingFocs 100% spitting facts here. That's exactly what I read him as feeling too.
I watch a lot of video essay channels, my favorite being kaptainkristian and nobody comes close. This is my first video of yours and im hooked, sound design, editing, script this is brilliant and on par with kristian who i holed in the highest esteem. One of my new favorite channels keep it up man
Not gonna lie James Cameron is without a doubt one of the great visionary film directors of our time. But I can help but worry what will Avatar 2 & its soon to be franchise be like once its finally release.
There’s nothing to worry about. The Avatar sequels are pretty much guaranteed to be mind blowing.
I'm pretty confident the sequels are gonna be great. When you have that many years of filmmaking experience, only good things can come out of it.
you should watch the teaser trailer.
@@evanwilliamson1577 Already did, thought it was brilliant.
James Cameron's "The Abyss" is super underrated in my opinion.
True. He was the only the producer on that one though. If he was the director maybe it would have done better.
i think a large number people have a resentment toward avatar because they are mad it beat endgame, and they think the quality doesn't deserve that. Im thankful i didn't have this bias so i could actually watch it for what its worth
likewise, I think people who get territorial about movies are silly
Well, anyone that truly loves film wouldn't give a rats ass about numbers and sales. Bladerunner was a flop, one of the best films ever made. Also avatar, to me was totally forgettable. Saw it twice, and never even once got the urge to watch it again. In comparison, I've watched terminator, aliens and terminator 2 i think about 50 times each. Cameron has long lost his actual movie making skills. Avatar was a soulless movie packaged in glossy technical splendor. Nothing visionary about that, More like overblown.
people have resentment to the film because its story wasn't good at all. The Last Samurai told the same story only better. Avatar's success was due to its use of 3D, it was a ride film nothing more. Plus lots of tree hugging, literal tree hugging. lol
Cameron re released Avatar numerous times. Feige re released Endgame to beat Avatar and then Cameron did it again to beat Endgame. Cameron and Feige are both egomaniacs and children.
I love Avatar and the MCU. Endgame surpassing it for that brief moment was an achievement
Great editing and music on this, A very well done mate
The CG in Avatar still holds up today, can't imagine how good it will look now.
The cg in jurassic park 1993 is beter than most things we have today.
@@blazn0 yeah no it's not. The CGI in Jurassic Park is extremely dated. The practical effects hold up far better
@@Sam-im5tc the cgi is better than most things we see 29 years later.
@@blazn0 It 100% is not. The CGI isn't the worst thing and it's still tolerable but the animatronics and practical effects are what is really holding it up visually.
@@Sam-im5tc get your eyes checked.
this deserves more recognition, truly well done!!!!
God bless this man's creativity. I can not fathom the will power, the sheer patience, it must have taken to wait years and even DECADES, to see their vision start to take form. Film makers are gonna be talking about these people far beyond any one person's lifespan.
Mans casually drops a banger at 12 AM
thats how we do
I'm always miffed by people who disregard Avatar completely because of certain narrative/creative choices they disagree with especially when there are so many things about it to be appreciated. It's visually incredible, it has Tolkien-level-world-building, the soundtrack is James Horner's magnum opus. I understand if you don't like every character or if you are disappointed with the thematic elements or whatever but what this meant to the world of VFX in itself makes it worthy of its hype.
The problem was the first one was basically a space ripoff of Pocahontas. The visuals were amazing for sure but the story didnt hold up to make it something worth watching or keeping. You cant seriously compare Avatar to Tolkien's worldbuilding unless James Cameron is able to pull out some crazy God level origin story for Pandora. He might yet which would be really interesting because they need to go past the simplistic evil humans taking resources from the natives.
Great video I love learning more about this director and how him and some other directors think
The sad thing is avatar 2 has been pushed back so much and it’s been so long since the first movie that I’m afraid many people won’t care….
But I’m stoked! I rewatched avatar today.
People will care I think, I think it will be huge, even if just for the visual spectacle/immersive nature of it. Even if some people have forgotten it, word of mouth will jog their memories :)
Watching James Cameron come out with a movie is like watching Jordan in the Finals back in the 90's. Well all know the outcome, and are still excited to watch it play out.
this is great.
I hate going to the theatres but every once in awhile i will return to be reminded of why i hate them but avatar is one of those movies that was burnt into my memory. the entire audience was just silent through it, completely enraptured. such a beautiful movie i cannot wait for december.
I just watched the remastered version in the movie theater. If you loved the first one, ur definitely going to find this version phenomenal
THANK YOU! I've been saying for ages that Avatar 2 will be one of the most important films of modern cinema. The scope of the vision we're about to see will likely match up to what we got with Lucas's Star Wars films, which up until this point has been unparalleled. How so many people are showing disdain to Cameron right now for putting so much effort into these films is beyond me.
it will either be that or it will collapse under the weight of its own hubris, im not sure theres going to be any middle ground situation as its taken so long to come out that the established hollywood system is collapsing, maybe avatar 2 will be credited with reinvigorating and reinventing it, like star wars did in 1977, but something tells me thats going to take a huge leap in technology that brings something truly novel to the way entertainment is consumed, rather than what Avatar 2 will be, not saying it won't push the boundaries of visual realism, and so called 3D is kind of a failure as it never really took off because people didn't want to have to wear those glasses, maybe if they found a way to do it without the glasses, then maybe but I still don't know.
Great video and narration thanks 😊
Hellow superframe, first I just want to say you are possibly the most knowledgeable expert on comic book history and lore I've ever seen, so I'm quite the fan. I also just wanted to say if you are planning on bringing back the videos that individually analyze a specific character and what makes them great. I just loved your analysis on superman, batman, spiderman and cyclops. I also think that many of the people that love your videos would really like to see possible videos on your all time favourite comics or graphic novels. But please do what you feel, I still adore your videos, I just thought about some suggestions. Carry on with the quality work.
Movies are so amazing and great video man :]
You forgot to note that "Avatar" is very similar to the classic "Dances With Wolves". Also, I'm very surprised you didn't even mention "The Abyss" in your Cameron movie line-up.
Thank you for this video 💜
Excellent video! The interview snippet of Mark Hamill at 9:55 min alone is epic...
They want to make movies because they have a story to tell, not tell a story because they have a movie to sell. That's why these directors are visionaries
Its a shame that such a visionary filmmaker locked himself into so many Avatar sequels.
Wait, but didn't he choose to make Avatar a 5-film story though recording to what was said in this video?
Hopefully it’s just the first three. He’s said he’ll only make four and five if the second and third are successful
@@dawsynasay4841 its already confirmed as FOUR space kitty movies. Not including the first space kitty movie.
@@skywalkerorder2839 it is all stand alone. He said each movie are their own. Like Terminator. You don't need to watch the first one to relate with terminator 2. Also Aliens.

You're going to get a lot more traffic this week..... Thanks Cameron for the new Teaser, it rocks!
I plan to rewatch Avatar yet again before heading to the theatre next month.
I've never seen avatar, but this made me wanna watch! Awesome video, super inspiring
Very well put together 👍
OH MYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE 3d VISUALS IN AVATAR 2!!!!!!!!! simply amazing!!
It’s surprising you didn’t mention Peter Jackson. Of all the visionaries making films today his vision of the Lord of the Rings is probably the most ambitious.
Excellent video production and commentary on and about the best Directors and Producers to date and eternity.
Alita Battle Angel made me go WOW! Now that is a true live action anime, the first. #AlitaArmy
Can't believe such a great movie isn't getting a sequel😭
Considering his age, I just hope that Cameron will live long enough to see his work finished.
IM SO EXCITED
Great vid dude
Wow...I hadn't known that there were plans to make *5* films in the Avatar saga.....If it takes each film 10 years to be made, I could be 57-60 years old before the 5th one releases. But I am absolutely in love with and utterly respect the directors out there who don't care about how fast a film can be made out to the public....They're patient. They're passionate. These...are the truest of film makers.
But I'm really hoping it doesn't take about 10 years each, because...That means Mr. Cameron would be 97 by the 5th movie... I'm really wishing him a long and healthy life.
Avatar 5 will be released in 2028
Avatar and Titanic are still my favorite movies today. I've been to the cinema about 3 times for Avatar, which I could hardly afford being a broke ass student. It has a special place in my heart and I will run not walk for Avatar 2.
I just watched the remastered version today in the Movie Theater. It was phenomenal! The visuals were so great because now it’s in 4K
Waiting this long, it'd better be stunning.
Oh that scared the biscuit outta me, there was a ruddy Weetbix advert just before Mr alien came out the dark to say 'hi kids' and when the advert stopped it went straight to a jump scare, scared the flipping eck outta me 😅
Another record-level blockbuster imminent. From not just a cinematographic genius, but an overall most admirable. intelligent, wise man.
I literally cannot fucking wait for this movie. I've been a massive avatar fan since the very first time I saw the original and I've always wanted to see the sequel so the excitement I feel to finally be able to go to an IMAX 3D theater and watch Avatar 2, 13 years later is surreal.
They've said we're gonna get a trailer for Avatar 2 that will play in front of Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness in theaters so I'm super hyped about that.
I do hope avatar 2 turns out good I really do but we shall see.
Great vid !
I'm HIGHLY intrigue to see where the sequels go
I don't care what ppl think I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and know cameron won't disapoint me, the simple fact that he had all these years to think deeper and edit or improve the script is gonna make this movie to be even better than the first one.
dope video!
I've admired all Cameron's work as a filmmaker and all of his influences and inspirations but I do take objection to not giving the artist Roger Dean credit for the look of the Avatar world such as the Floating Islands, Flying Creatures and landscapes. It's not a coincidence that much of the beautiful imagery was taken from Dean's incredible fantasy-scape paintings. It's similar to Cameron's first big hit, "Terminator" where I immediately realized the direct influence of 2 Twilight Zone episodes whose stories were combine to create the script. Eventually Cameron had to give a special acknowledgement credit to Harlan Ellison who said that he didn't want payment for his ideas which inspired the movie. But with no offer to compensate Dean, Roger had to sue and was unfortunately out lawyered by Cameron.
I cannot wait for Avatar sequels. I saw the First Avatar in IMAX 3D and it was the greatest cinema experience i have ever seen. I hope i can watch Avatar 2 in IMAX 3D. James Cameron makes great movies. James Cameron also makes Great sequels!
That's a lot of words to say it's a crowd-pleaser summer blockbuster but executed well.
No matter how late you did to release it I am going to remember and watch it
Great video. Avatar the way of water is my highest anticipated movie to come out in years. Also that clip of mark hamill rly makes me wish even more that we got to see George Lucas sequel trilogy
Damm this was a beautiful video!
Sigorneyyyyyy! Zoeeeeee!
Finally, only about half a year (still). I can almost taste it!
Best Avatar 2 video I've seen yet
Where did you get that audio of James Cameron describing that his films are 4 and 5 acts?
His masterclass
Wow, Avatar came out in 2009 when I was still in college!! That was ages ago... well 13 years ago
I just watch the first one for the first time in 10 years. It was better than I expected. Im excited for it to come to theaters because that’s truly the only way to see that. I’m not expecting the story to blow me away but it will be a great experience.
Difference between directors who chase money vs those who chase their visions
I just hope we'll see more of the Venture Star, or the Valkyrie in the upcoming films...
I cannot wait for this movie!
Waiting 13 years for this moment
It’s gonna be HISTORICCCCC
Cool clip of Mark Hamill saying Lucas set him up to play an Obi-Wan type character in 2011.
I am sure if someone gave me an outrageous budget too I could be a visionary
The mad lad! He's filming 3-4 sequels at once?!
i have high anticipations for anything on the time scale of boyhood. love the production on this video too bestie
I watched Avatar for the like 15th time recently but on acid. Whole new experience
He is GOAT, the Film Director, Producer, Explorer, Visionary
You’re joking right?🤣
Back when AVATAR was released, there were news articles depicting a large number of people feeling depression and suicidal after watching the movie. As someone who felt this depression after seeing the movie for the first time in cinemas, I can tell you that the depression does not stem from the want to be on Pandora, the depression stems from the fact that this Earth IS Pandora.
The depression settles in as more realizations begin to occur. Humanity is allowing itself to become a disease to the planet, all for the sake of material gain. In any movie review of James Cameron’s AVATAR, we are mostly told it is praised for it’s CGI and not for it’s story. Which for the most part, lacked originality.
Comparisons are made to previous stories. Stories such as Ferngully, Pocahontas, and Dances with Wolves. Yet, what astounds me is that while people compare AVATAR to these films, they do not compare it to the events and situations that these films are focused on. Events and situations that are still ongoing to this day.
AVATAR uses symbolism and imagery to portray the atrocities committed by the Corporatocracy.
And, how our ignorance not only allows these atrocities to occur - but, also has halted our evolution.
AVATAR is not only a social commentary on the Extortion of Natural Resources, Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples, or Aboriginal Genocide. It is a simulation of what life can be..
I have made a in depth analysis of the film on my channel.
Every claim in the analysis can be researched by anyone and a clear consensus can be reached.
The film not only shows that the planet we are from is the mother of all life, it shows an alternative form of humanity. The Na'Vi are representative of Neohumanism*, the next stage in our evolutionary path. The humans depicted in the film are clearly shown to be from the Western world. Working for Corporations that seek to maximize profits regardless of social or environmental loss. So, what we have here is a film depicting two possible forms of humanity, the old paradigm vs the new paradigm,
Good analisys.
The abyss is one of my favorite James Cameron films ever so well made and immersive man
People who didn't enjoy avatar, i wonder what movies they do enjoy??
I wish James Cameron, should have finished the Terminator franchise with a future war between man and machine. Ending with John Connor sending Kyle Reese back in time to the past.
Cameron & Lucas : We got this vision ... !
CGI-Peeps : Ehm, but we dont have the tech yet ...
Lana & Lilly : Hold this!
James wow u are gonna blow me away with avatar 2 I'm sure...
I can't wait..... it's finally only a month away.
forgot about the movie people should appreciate how much effort he is putting to make a movie. Where other directors just making half-hearted movies with special effect
That was unexpectedly excellen.
imagine having a vison so clear that you have to wait for technology to catchup for you to be able to bring it to life.
