I absolutely love Avatar and the idea of filming 2, 3 & 4 at the same time ..

Sadly I’m not as enamoured with the news that Kate Winslet is involved ..

Na .. everyone is different .. the first half hour was just laying the ground story down but then it was spectacular.


Check the Disney attraction. .. fast forward to 10 minutes ...

Rose after the Titanic sank wishing she had that cape?

James Cameron like "I SWEAR ITS REAL GUYS!"

and everyone else like "Don't care"

Honestly, it's a mystery why Disney are putting so much money into these sequels when people's reactions to the original outside of the technology was just 'meh'.

3D is old hat now, I really do think these films will end up bombing if they rely on the 3D gimmick again.

Probably because it became the biggest grossing box office film of all time. I don't think the sequels will make nearly as much though, it has been too long.

Can't wait for this. Love Avatar!

What’s this obsession with 3D ?

I’ve never seen anything in 3D certainly not Avatar ... even the massive Disney area of Avatar doesn’t have any 3D attractions that I recall ..

I just thought 3D was a failed idea years ago

It's literally the only reason why Avatar did as well as it did.

Well that’s one view on things..

Brilliant film and best 3d one

No, it's pretty much the official view on things, you can't say 'well it's a matter' of opinion' to numbers. Just because you haven't heard of something before, doesn't make it less true.

Avatar pioneered 3D technology for cinemas that had not been seen before, lots of people paid a premium to see it in 3D and the word of mouth about how impressive the 3D was drove ticket sales to the extremes.

It's why, in the years that followed, every film tried to force lesser 3D versions into cinemas because the 3D tickets led to more profits but the phase died out pretty quickly, thankfully.

There's a reason why most people don't remember much about the film bar the technology.

It's not "awful" but it's just a mediocre sci-fi flick... and yeah, the main draw was the novelty of 3D which is old news now. FAR too long between the originals and sequels... half of the target audience probably haven't even heard of the original. To succeed, and if they really are filming three films at once, Avatar 2 needs to be exceptional and wow the critics. Otherwise the rest will absolutely bomb.

I thought it was a decent film although the 3D element made it miles better. The 3D fad died out because they started just making normal films that really didn't need 3D into 3D films and it's just became annoying

Disney must have given Avatar a real boost when they gave it it’s own area / attraction .

When the main Avatar experience was unveiled crowds queued up for over 10 hours for the first few weeks - the virtual ‘ride’ lasts only about 4 minutes ..

It was a new attraction in Disney World, do you expect it to not be popular? Also I believe the ride has some unique technology and animatronic stuff that makes it more unique. I think, just like the film, it's success is less to do with the Avatar property and more the experience of something new.

I saw it in 2D and I really liked it.

Hurrah .... that’s the two of us then ..

I love it. I saw it on IMAX 3D and it was incredible.
