The CGI in this movie has aged like shit

>>81678554
it really hasn't. It only great on really high end equipment though.

It looks fucking phenomenal on my OLED television.

>>81677933
Shit CGI, shit movie. New ones will flop hard

>>81677933
It looks amazing. The CGI lighting is still some of the best ever put on screen. It's only the bright colors and skin tones and wet, glossy textures that show some age. For nearly a decade old, it's phenomenal.

I never understood if praising Jim's work was genuine admiration or just ironic shitposting.

It's great movie, despite being a leftist cuck, James Cameron is kino, the best. Needed to see the 'making of' to believe all the trees weren't real.


PS: This is a pre-release shot, not in the real movie, nice bait, tho.

How can a movie by one of the most celebrated directors of our time make 2 billion at the box office and leave no cultural impact whatsoever?

Some of Avatar has aged like total dogshit and some of it still stands up, it's really bizarre.

I will post an example of each.

First, here's Neytiri looking pretty realistic.

Zoe Saldana is actually really good in this movie

I think one of the main problems is fuckin Sam Worthington being uncharismatic as shit throughout the entire film. Imagine if it was someone like Leo instead of a literal who like Sam Worthington. Movie would have been 100x better.

I think technology evolves so rapidly that if cameron takes longer than 3-4 years on a project the its going to age very badly. I expect more of the same QUALITY discrepancies in the rest of the avatar films, whenever the fuck those are supposed to come out.

Your not making your case whatever side it is.

What I loved about Avatar is that it is the only movie I've ever watched with alien worldbuilding and speculative evolution on a large scale
I fucking loved the world of Pandora, no other film or tv has ever done alien worldbuilding on the scale that Cameron did
I highly anticipate Avatar 2, because I can't wait to see the oceans of Pandora and the alien sea creatures Jake will encounter
Imagine a scene with a giant alien sea monster vs a big ship by quartich

i watched a making of Avatar. one thing i was not aware of in recent blockbusters they divide the film up through multiple CGI companies.

I forgot how many Avatar had, but the CGI companies that were good were WETA and one other group. The worst was by far ILM. They had separate reels of everyones' work and there was a definite noticeable decline in quality with ILM. The majority of those power loader suits were done by them.

It really isn't. The problem is that there's too much of it. It's overwhelming and very quickly becomes tiresome and gets exponentially unimpressive. How anyone can watch it and be swept away by its visuals is totally beyond me. It looks like nothing more than a slightly upscale video game cutscene compilation. It only exists to show off the technology, there's literally no other reason for it to exist since the story and characters are so awful and derivative. It's actually sad to me that someone as talented and visionary as James Cameron wasted 12 years of his life on it, and is wasting even more with a slew of unwanted sequels.

Yet it's miles better than the cgi used in the Transformers movies... that shit moved so fast it was blurry... and at least Cameron didn't incorporate that "shaky-cam" shit you see everywhere now a days. (Christ.. who's the cameraman... Michael J Fox?). And as another anon said, it looks pretty fantastic on an OLED.

>yfw Avatar 2 won't be the humans sending their military to fuck up the Na'vi

Since Cameron said there is gonna be like 6 more Avatar films, my guess is he'll do some Native American reservation type commentary. So military arrives, fucks them up, dumps them on another planet, they escape the planet, get back to Pandora, find it strip mined, get angry, launch suicidal attack on Earth (with help of a wacky array of other aliens that got buttfucked by humans) and then there will be a big battle on a polluted Earth and some comment about "hur dur Pandora was paradise and you just turned it into another Earth" and then somebody will die and will turn Earth back to a paradise and the military will depose the businessmen to prevent them from ruining it again.

Screencap this.

60fps is better than 24fps shit, but not enough to qualify as high frame rate. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk gets it right with 120fps (although AFAIK there is no way to actually see it in 120fps now). This should be standard.

I want to make cute blue babies with Neytiri!

I had no interested in it when it came out. My friend kept telling me how amazing it was in 3D, so I eventually to see it. It took me a while to get into it, but once he started poking the flowers that fwooped into the soil, I was in.

I don't think a story needs to be original in order to be executed well. Avatar was everything a blockbuster aspires to be; it had heroes, villains, an exotic and foreign world, a large scale canvas on which to tell its story, legends, mysticism, and an epic showdown between two very different worlds.

I also think it holds up in the cgi. The movie looked fucking amazing. On a proper screen I'm sure it looks just as great. Looking forward to the sequel(s).
