As I’ve said, I was SO dissapointed in this film, first watch, but have since learned to appreciate it especially in combination with the sequel 2010. 🙂

Avatar (2009)- Still the top grossing film of all time for a reason. Amazing film and premise, and I dismiss my wife’s scorn as a Dancing with Wolves remake. It’s so much more. 😁
My son in his youth liked, likely target audience. Me mildly entertaining but nothing to be excited about.

I didn’t rate it and tend to agree with your wife. Not a very original story imo. I heard there is a sequel out. I’ll definitely skip it.
The second sequel is out, I think.
Avatar- The target audience was everyone.The story is worthy despite not being an original theme, it was an original incredible setting, impressive visuals, great action and cinematography, enjoyable characters and a completely original, photo realistic ecosystem created on a computer, filmed in a warehouse, a technical achievement. This does not mean everyone will love it, but the highest grossing film of all time says something about appeal.
Regarding themes being original or not, that is a valid critique, but themes don’t make a movie, and repeat themes are more common than not, murder mysteries for example. It’s a critique that boils down in some cases, if you don’t like the subject matter, you won’t like the story.

MacDonalds will sell more hamburgers, or horsebergers than any other manufacturer.
First film was good and groundbreaking in many respects, rest could care very less. Just churned out garbage Cameron can do better than this, or maybe he no longer cares, I know I dont...

I liked the first one, visually amazing, storyline was ok. The 2nd one was visually amazing again, the storyline, meh, at best. And now the 3rd one will be out next week in theaters, certainly not going to go out for it, and I can very likely wait til it is available for streaming ...
Have to admit I thought it looked ridiculous and then I watched it! Was absolutely glued to it and loved it!!! My wife looked at me and said well that confirms it, sexy has nothing to do with beautiful!! I have to agree, their relationship was incredible!!!

Better than the paid for press portrayed on release. It's not a masterpiece by any means, equally as said the film is entertaining and that's all it needs be...

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Two criminals and their hostages unknowingly seek temporary refuge in a truck stop populated by vampires, with chaotic results. A must watch simple as that, if that doesn't convince Salma Hayek will

Like the way the rest of the planet is unfolding, how the different people are portrayed and how they must ban together against a common enemy.
Oh no!!!!! Will be seeing this in 3D IMAX!!! 3D for the Avatars is the only way.I will say that I rode the Avatar ride in Disney World Animal Kingdom when I was in Florida earlier this year - it was awesome! But sorry, not going to the movies for the film ...
Know the feeling well, I will not see the "Fast and Furious" stuff in theaters.
I figured out who the enemy is from the inside, many years ago. Have lived in peace ever since...

Strange Days (1996)
One of the best big-budget sci-fi films to never reach a big audience. Written and produced by James Cameron and expertly directed by Kathryn Bigelow, more noir than actual sci-fi. Has a tremendous atmosphere throughout, this is
cyberpunk...
