6 years later and avatar (the james cameron movie) is still completely incomprehensible to me. like you’ve got the highest grossing film in recent history and no one actually enjoyed it beyond “eh. it was okay”
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.
Um… Umm… UMMM…
Fuck.
Another thing is that, like. EVERY time someone says “Avatar” and means the James Cameron movie, they ALWAYS have to specify that; this post even did it. If they don’t, the first thing people think of seems to be Avatar the Last Airbender. The first thing people think of is the NICKNAME OF a children’s TV show that ended years ago, and not the full title of the top grossing film of all time.
…this is really weird to think about.
It was all the colors, everyone loved the colors
And the 3d was immersive, not in your face which was pretty unheard of at the time. Also it was at the start of modern 3d with the shades instead of the coloured lenses.
