Any one else looking forward to this movie?

James Cameron is genius and this film looks outstanding visually. Plus he has had a long time to tweak the storyline...I think it will prove to be his crowning achievement, even beyond Titanic.

...or maybe I'm just a Sci-Fi geek marking out because of the hype!

Dude this movie is gonna be SWEET!!! I can't wait to see it in IMAX 3-D. I don't know anything about James Cameron (Not big into knowing famous peoples names or accomplishments) and I didn't see Titanic but I know this movie is gonna be absolute insanity!!!!

TIE FIGHTR · 12-09-2009, 10:31 AM

James Cameron brought us the Terminator Franchise, the Alien franchise, True Lies, and we geeks will forgive him for Titanic since it allowed him to have the freedom to slowly work out his dream of AVATAR.

I've heard the storyline is a rip-off of Dances With Wolves.

South Park even parodied it as such.

I am officially ashamed of myself

maybe the other way around.........seeing as he wrote the story a LONG time ago.

TIE FIGHTR · 12-09-2009, 10:50 AM

Yeah he started working on the original story in the late '70's, prior to him writing Alien and Terminator.

He just didn't have the technology to make it the way he envisioned until now. (I'm not a mind-reader or a close personal friend...He was on 60 minutes recently discussing this!)

So Dances With Wolves just happened to be identical to Mr Cameron's story that wasn't released yet?

2010 SSRS · 12-09-2009, 11:01 AM

I want to see it.

The Dark Knight · 12-09-2009, 11:04 AM

I might hit up the IMAX for the Midnight Showing...I'm hyped about it...but don't think (IMO) that it's midnight worthy...

Indentical? Are you basing this assumption on what you've heard and a South Park parody?

It may have some similar themes...the way Star Wars had similar themes to various mythologies and movie influences of George Lucas, but identical...

I'm too old for midnight!

I'm more likely to wait for the Sunday matinee!

But I do want to see the 3D IMAX version.

Correction: Cameron did not bring us the Alien Franchise, he only wrote and directed the second one. Ridley Scott directed the Original in 1979 and David Fincher directed the third in 1992.

I may or may not be a bit of a geek myself
