Oof. I managed to forget most of that...stuff. Oof. At least Honest Trailers got some good jokes out of it because...
Ugh. More of the same but with big, brighter, shinier CGI!
Yeah, it's pretty. No denying that. But that's about it.
James Cameron's Avatar Sequels Possible Titles Revealed

- Start date

James Cameron has acknowledged that the Avatar series might end with 3 if it and 2 aren't successful enough.
Which makes sense, there's no point doing 4 & 5 if 2& 3 don't make money.

Yeah, same here. I don't see any buzz or excitement for it anywhere. I'd pretty much say the first one did well because it was partly novelty and helped usher in a 3D craze, but I have my doubts about the sequels.
I'm excited about the Lego sets...does that count?
Well, I'm excited. Both for the new movie, and the McFarlane toys.

No, Battlefield Earth. Masterpiece of a film, that!
Saw reports that James Cameron says the film will have to make $2 billion just to break even.
That's insanity.

Just this single movie or all the planned movies ( i believe they have 5 total planned out)?
I can't believe any studio will allow a director to make a movie that costs a billion to make and needing 2 billion to break even ( Holllywood creative accounting set aside). If so and the statement by Cameron is true that they won't make Avatar 3 if 2 doesn't perform well enough then the Avatar franchise is dead on arrival.
Still on the fence if i want to see it at the theater, i'm not really excited.
Just last week i went to see Black Panther 2 and paid 18 Euro for a ticket ( 18.5 $) and was extremely thirsty, so i bought the smallest water they had ( 0,5 litres, about 17 ounces?) for 4,5 Euro - i can get nearly a whole case, 12 litres, at a drink vendor for this price.
Now the theater was always more expensive than general stores or even restaurants but this is just ridiculous. I can afford it but i'll only go to the movies if there is one that i absolutely have to see fast once it is released, for all the others i can wait a few months until they hit the streaming services.
But do "the youth" of today know or care who he is? He hasn't done a film in 13 years, and the one 12 years before that (25 years ago) was before they were even born.
A lot of young people, and this has always been the case but I think even more so now, don't like "old films." Kids now love their Tik Toks and Stranger Things and whatever other crap Netlfix tells them to feed on. I doubt they've even heard of True Lies and The Abyss, and wouldn't care about Terminator/Aliens etc. Kids today say the She-Hulk effects look bad, never mind models and stop-motion from the 80s.
I mean I can't wait for this and wanna see it. But just saying. I work with a few people in their late teens/early 20s, and they're pretty damn fickle & ignorant about this kinda thing.

Good point. I like reaction videos on Youtube and follow one especially. She's mid/late 20s and just recently watched the first Terminator movie, that started it all. I really felt the age gap there ( i'm late 40s, so the 80s and 90s movies are well known to me), first because i couldn't believe she never saw it but then remembered that i have around 20 years on her.
The Avatar pitch meeting is funny also.
Can't deny it looks amazing but I don't know if I can be arsed to see this in the cinema and I fear it's nothing but visuals and I can't see it making anywhere near enough money to break even.
According to Variety, just this single film.
And yeah, I agree that it's crazy that any studio would allow a director to make a film that costs that much. But I guess the thinking was "It's James Cameron and look at how much his last two films yielded!" without thinking about the circumstances that allowed those two particular films to earn so much. Let alone considering whether or not Avatar has remained in the public consciousness to garner such a large return.
