No, not the picture thing you change every so often for a laugh...(or not in my case )...but the movie!!Linky! Even if the film itself turns out to be crappy; the production technique used in it is sure to change the film industry. The cameras used were specially developed to view things the way the human eyes does. I think the visual effects grab my attention more than anything else! |

You were disappointed that it wasn't a cartoon? And you were further disappointed that the director was James Cameron? Was that what you meant? That seemed rather unlikely. |

I'm glad it's not a cartoon. As a director I'd give James Cameron 3.5/5 - he's good, but not great. |

Yeah I was glad it wasn't a cartoon. When it comes to action films though, I'd give Cameron 5/5. Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2. Three of the best action films of all time. |

I agree, he's one of the best action directors going, and in purely in terms of that I'd rate higher than I gave him; however, I've rated him in comparison with other directors of all genres. |

Are you talking about The Last Airbender, or Avatar? They're two different movies... |

You guys think that because no one appreciates a good cartoon anymore. Everything fancy 3D live action computer graphics, but theres nothing better than a nicely animated cartoon movie (animated as in pen and paper not computer). I thought the director was M. Night Shamala or whatever his name is. |

Oh I see what you mean now, drawn animation rather than CGI. Would that work though? From what I've seen of the trailers it looks like quite a serious film. I worry that the computer generated characters look too unrealistic to be taken seriously. With drawn characters they'd look even less realistic. I'm trying to think of a film that blends drawn animation with real footage, but the only one I can come up with is Roger Rabbit... |

Fin, that's the director of The Last Airbender, not Avatar. You're talking about a different movie here.
