I don't understand how this movie still looks so good. Even in 2020 I can't think of any CGI that looks better off the top of my head. The colors are incredible. and you are right, it makes up for any stock characters or derivative story components. James Cameron literally makes new technology almost every time he makes a movie.

The War of the Worlds 2005 adaptation was a lackluster for its taste. The pacing were too rush and the acting ain't very realistic. It didn't give the feeling of dread and hopelessness in facing the extraterrestrials that wanted nothing more to wipeout mankind. The days timeline doesn't match up as well in this adaptation since from the original concept, it taken a long time for the aliens to succumbed to death from the Earth's microorganism.

Love This!!! Not sure if we really need 20 minutes of footage before the video even begins, but you hit all the best points!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@donaldc.stewart2089]

I can't wait for the sequel's!!! This was an awesome movie that took you to their world. I just wish more books, and movies put just as much if not more work into their worlds and characters. You may say some where underutilized, but if they were to truly flesh everything out in the first movie it would take at least 3 movies. To flesh out everything they tried their best to cover in the first move. Wish we could get a 3-5 novel version of the movie telling everything and fleshing out the entire universe that AVATAR takes place in.

so damn good. I just finished rewatching it. No wonder it did so well, everything is made to a standard that still looks awesome even today. It doesn't have that weird effect where you look at it and can see the outdated tech used. Especially love the soundtrack, imma download it for my soundtracks play list.

Just seems strange when you realize the military could’ve just used some kind of long range artillery to bombard the huge tree at the end, instead of just throwing all their forces in one direction towards an enemy in their backyard.

I'm totally cool with more long videos like this, I understand that many movies cant fill a 30 minute video but even a video covering a movie and sequel(s) could be cool

[@KellyEUTAH]

I am so in love with this movie. I can't get enough of it. I saw it in theaters the first week, and after that, using every excuse to go back. Having seen it 4 times in theater, with different groups of friends. Each time treating my friends and family to enjoy the film with me. I still watch it over and over on dvd. It has a place in my heart, for sure.

Avatar was and always will be my top favorite cgi, insane scenery, incredible visuals, absolutely stunning creature designing, and one of the most creative films of all time. And I don’t think any movie so far has and can’t beat what Avatar had as a truly visual at awe movie.

When a Canadian goes to Hollywood and makes it easier for the public to understand indigenous rights. He met with tribes around Canada and America. He even got the idea of the gathering of tribes in the movie, From real life when the biggest gathering is held. The gathering of nations, A’ho that is a sight. You got tribes from the arctic to the tribes of the southern Mexico, most years we get tribes from South America doing an awesome trip and representing there tribe. Back in the days before the Europeans landed there used to be a gathering held by the Aztecs/Mayans that would get people from both continents. Since than there is an World indigenous games. They start of doing a POW-WOW or a gathering that is custom to the host county/land it is held on. Bravo to you James Cameron. You recreated that moment on film and presented it to the world.

[@AnonymousViewer]

I've been thinking about this, what about the timing of the movie. If (whether or not is true) if the movie was made or released before or after the great recession, would this movie get the same box office success? Because of that whole "Avatar" effect thing.

I think the thing I loved the most is that one of my favorite artists of all time and one of my greatest inspirations designed the critters for the movie. Wayne Barlowe is awesome and he's is so good at making creatures that are so strange yet perfectly exist in their own environment at the same time.

Great "documentary" on Avatar. I was 18 when it came, and me and my mom were so blown away by it, that one week after seeing it, on New Year's Eve, we took the car and drove 100 kilometers to the nearest 3D movie theater, to see it again, in 3D. I don't get the haters who spent much of the last ten years laughing at Avatar. The only weakness of this film is its story, and while I tend to find that a pretty glaring weakness, Avatar has so much more that holds it up, that it's still a 9/10, and it definitely deserved all that revenue. I sincerely hope they polish the story and characters a little more in 2 and 3, so we can get 4 and 5. The Way of Water is the first film I'm excited about in probably 4-7 years, since just about every other big franchise messed up seemingly on purpose. Cameron is one who I absolutely trust not to subvert his story and world for cheap political points. He's there to show a world and tell a story and that's it.

[@rayleighg9235]

I was speechless when I saw the film way back 2009. It was visually breathtaking. It was the first time I ever realized the infinite possibilities in filmmaking and special effects

[@hooddaddy7124]

I love this movie, yeah the plots simple but I’m not there for that, the world building alone has kept me hocked for years. My friends hate when I put it on “the cgi is so out of date” yeah but.... I haven’t see anything better? Think of most movies with lots of cgi, it mostly look stupid. This, somehow avoided that even after aging so many years. It’s 2020 and this looks just as good as fucking last of us 2 that just came out. (No I don’t enjoy Lou2, not to say they didn’t do great on the look of it) Thats something I’ve never seen before and probably won’t unless James comes up with it himself again. If it be in the second movie or a totally new one 👌 hes definitely on another level
