Avatar is such a weird anomaly. It’s the highest grossing film EVER (not adjusting for inflation) by a huge margin and yet it left virtually no footprint on popular culture. It had its 15 minutes of fame to the tune of $2.7 billion dollars worldwide, and within a few years it’s like no one remembers it even existed. You only ever really see it mentioned these days in the context of its record-breaking box office.

That was the point dipshit. It was supposed to be a visual feast first and foremost.

Also, the movie doesn't have to be memeworthy to be good. Actually, the least memes, the better the movie is. Avatar's quality is unquestionable.

>>
>>65092440
I agree, it is interesting. After the hype was over no one ever talks about it, no one quotes it, etc. I watched it again a few months ago and couldn't remember much about seeing it in theatres except that I liked it.

I always thought the world was ripe for expanding upon, and it would make a great video game series (with actual effort put into it, not the half-assed movie-based cash grabs). It's a shame they never did anything like that.
>>
I never actually saw Avatar. I kind of regret not being able to get caught up in the hype when it was released.
>>
>>65093551
Seeing it in theatres is the best experience because it is meant to be a visual orgasm. You won't get the same experience watching it on the small screen but it's still pretty solid. Like most people say the script isn't too special, it's Dances with Wolves with tall blue people.

Well I remember the battle scene but I literally don't remember a single character, bit of dialogue, or major plot point.

I think the plot was america killing natives and that's bad so stop them, but I don't recall how it happened.

When I can't do that for a movie or tv show, it's bad. It doesn't matter how good the visuals are because in thirty years they'll look like shit.
>>
it's been less than a month since I've seen Star Wars and I couldn't say a single line. I don't know if I can remember a line from any movie that hasn't been repeated ad nauseum in the collective consciousness.
>>
>>65093926
Who was Neytiri again?

I think Jake Sully was that colonel dude, right? The one that drank coffee or something.

I don't remember the dialogue but it was probably something that would be said given the plot.
>>
>>65094050
I remember Finn, Poe, and Han Solo dying.

I think the villain's name was Ren but I can't remember the female lead's name.

I remember a badass stormtrooper though that didn't give fucks about a lightsaber.
>>
>/tv/ suddenly loves Avatar

what happened?
>>
>>65092497
what does this mean?
>>
>>65092440

Because most people at from the timeline where it never got made, so although people did see it their current consciousness has no real memory of it. If you actually have a clear memory of seeing it in theaters you're in the lucky minority but don't expect others to understand.
>>
>>65094116
It's okay.

It has a bland plot, dull characters, and a forgettable score, but the visual design is excellent. But I mean Cameron was a fx guy before being a director so I expected it.

It's his worst movie, but it's by no means bad.

To be honest I watched it but don't even remember much about it save for it having some blue tall people and magic plants.
That is how forgettable this movie was as an experience. I'm not going to waste time of my life watching the sequel of an uninteresting movie which didn't manage to grab my attention.

I can can only pray the sequels bomb. There was all this hype that it was being made and the first piece of advertisement I see is a giant fucking mural of blue furries.

Could not give less of a shit about it, saw it on a rental for a dollar months after it was out. Thought it was mildly interesting but it was 1/3 nature documentary and 2/3 "humans are bad mmkay" with a massive glaring plothole that could solve the plot at anytime you could drive a truck through.

Who cares faggot. That just makes it more fantasy than sci-fi. Can you /sci/ queers just put down the microscope and enjoy something based on it's entertainment value alone or do you have to view everything through the lens of "yay science!" fucking faggots. no wonder you have no friends

We all know that Avatar is forgettable shit that nobody cares about. You can't even sell the DVDs. The movie was garbage. It was only popular because of the 3D gimmick. Most people saw the film and hated the story, they just liked the pretty 3D visuals.

People didn't just go to watch the movie, but to experience the novelty that the ads were pushing.

A fun adventure, nice visuals, no real substance.
Nothing wrong with that.

It's like there's a correlation between the high number of teen posters, and sudden rise in Cameron hate. You newfags probably haven't seen it either. I showed my 13-years-younger brother (I'm 25) Aliens and Terminator 2 after he talked shit on Cameron and he did a 180. Hadn't seen them before but he was critical of Cameron cause he's a redditor.

Avatar still hasn't been beat visually and it's been 7 years. I was hyped since 2006 for Avatar and I wasn't disappointed when I finally saw it and I highly doubt Cameron (who helps advance technology himself in visual effects with every release) will drop the ball.
>>
> yet it left virtually no footprint on popular culture
because it's not a very good movie.

> It’s the highest grossing film EVER
because it was the first modern 3D movie so it had the hype and all tickets were at the higher 3D premium prices. That novelty has worn off now so I predict the sequels make nothing like as much at the box office.

Yeah as someone who liked Avatar when it first came out I don't have much interest in the sequel. The entire reason I went to see it, and also everybody else I know went to see it was because of the 3D gimmick, now I could care less about 3D. I watched Avatar at home not too long ago and was bored out of my mind. So unless Cameron can create some new gimmick, it won't top the first one

Let me guess, you're an Alien 3 apologist. 3/10 for effort though.

Aliens is at least a 9/10. Watching a masterpiece like Aliens or Avatar on a pc display or a phone or a laptop isn't the same as watching it on a big tv in hd. Get a job and buy blurays, you cheap bastards. PCfags on /v/ are better than half you teens, at least when they pirate they get the same experience.

I agree OP. It was a pretty underwhelming movie I almost never hear people talk about fondly or recall as a great movie. Literally the only time I hear it mentioned, either online or IRL, is when another movie is being compared to its box office.

It had almost zero cultural impact. Certainly compared to something like Star Wars or other Cameron work like Terminator.
>>
>>65104879
Nope, every movie after Alien was shit.
Hey, remember how the Xenomorph became one of the most popular and terrifying movie monsters of all time? Remember how threatening it was because it seemed invincible and incredibly intelligent? Well for Aliens let's throw all that out the window in exchange for epic action!
Cool giger designs? Nah, here's a big queen with blue and a big crown
Cool human designs? Nah, here's a literal box car
Any type of mystery surrounding the planet or spooky atmosphere at all? Nah, how about some colonists on the planet instead

It was the first big 3D film, that's all. People didn't know what to think 3D in movies, that aren't gimmick shit at an amusement park, so literally everyone gave it a shot. Nowadays people don't care about 3D or even try to avoid it.

Avatar is a decent movie, but it has to be one of the best buisness moves in the history of filmmaking.

Peasants think that footprint in popular culture = quotable lines. That's one of the most retarded arguments ever. Even the most quotable reddit shitfests out there will eventually leave the collective memory because they're bad movies.
Case in point: Avengers. People will soon forget about it because there are another twenty new capeshit flicks coming out every year.
The fact is these movies are not made to me remarkable, they are easy money grab schemes optimized for profitability.

Honestly at the time I remember the effects just looked so obviously fake, it took me right out of of any kind of possible enjoyment.

It wasn't worth remembering. Normies watched it for the special effects then forgot about it two days later because the plot was regurgitated treehugging dogshit that'd been done a thousand times before.

>The backwards dickeads who wipe their asses with leaves are portrayed as 'wise'.

It's the kind of shit that a normie would consider deep and meaningful even though Saturday morning cartoons tend to have thicker plots. It doesn't help that the characters are all so clichéd either.
