I think he said that if he doesn't do the final 2 movies then he'll release them as novels, so there will at least be an ending.

I only saw the original, but the story really wasn't the point of it. The point was to showcase absolutely stunning eye candy. And to that end, I think it was quite successful.

I agree that he can do more than that, though.

could atleast make an actual interesting story

"lets bring back the same villian for each movie"

Don't you take my naked blue cat people from me

Every trailer and media buzz I saw for Alita made it look terrible. I made a joke at the films expense to a coworker and they immediately told me how it was one of their favorite films.

On a lark I saw it and was surprisingly amazed by it. It has its problems, the boyfriend character and the stupid eyes, but it's a solid film.

I would love to see where that series goes. (And I know I could read the source material, but I'm hoping it'll continue someday.)

Pihranna III

I'm also a diehard fan of the series and I'm really surprised that no one has attempted to adapt the material to a limited series or something. I'm talking a kids-oriented show that focuses on Na'vi rites of passage. Or a more grown-up oriented show that lets us see life in Bridgehead City (a drama about defectors or something). Hell, give me a Jemaine Clement-starring show where we follow him making the Seas of Pandora documentary you know he wants to make in-universe!

I love Frontiers of Pandora and feel like it really opens up the universe of the films for more varied story-telling.

Celebrated innovator James Cameron has lived a dozen lives. Director, philanthropist, undefeated little league coach! Deep-sea explorer, good at marriage. The list goes on, for he is a titanic talent.

He had planned as much as 7 total Avatar films.

But I guess the deaths of his longtime collaborators James Horner and Jon Landau hit him hard, so he's deciding to scale it back.

There are so many other movies being made. He isn't taking projects from anyone else.

Not sure how Cameron making movies isn't giving others a chance.

And directing isn't like playing sports. You can be old and in your prime. You certainly learn more about making movies and the tools required the longer you do it.

James Cameron is in no way past his prime. He is a highly accomplished technical movie maker and his contributions have had a positive, lasting impact on the industry. Avatar will not be remembered for its storytelling, but it will be remembered for the technical advances that came from it.

The first wasn't even good enough for a sequel. It was just a vehicle for his 3D tech he was developing.

Are YOU FUCKING SERIOUS???

The second AVATAR movie was the best!

I wasn't into drugs at the time, but I wish I was, because I would have loved getting high as fuck and watching them swim with that whale for like 1.5 hours on IMAX. That shit was magical. Honestly, the only thing that could have possibly made that movie even better was MORE whale and less plot.

Avatar 2 hit so fucking hard.
