What a fucking triumphant piece of cinema that was.
Cameron IS King.

Joe1138 wrote:The difference is that "Star Wars" still manages to feel fresh thirty years after its release, only time will tell if the same can be said of "Avatar." I will say the film lacks that indefinable quality that makes the great stories resonate and linger in the public consciousness. Make no mistake though, Cameron is a master filmmaker in a league all his own and "Avatar" is surely among his greatest works but he fails to add anything new to the canon other than some amazing production design.
If I sound conflicted, it's because I am. I'm sure I liked "Avatar" but I feel more viewings and time will be needed for me to fully digest what I saw.
