Capturing the performance of the actors first and then shooting it virtually has blown me away. James Cameron is way ahead of everyone in the movie industry.
*This movie really DESERVES the HIGHEST GROSSING FILM title. Say whatever you want about the story, you can't deny the effort James Cameron and crew put on this film's worldbuilding! *
For me there's no movie in the World can match this visually as well as story telling.....amazing movie.... I don't know how many Times I watched this movie, i never get bored...damn exited for sequel of this movie 🔥🔥
Black Panther was a huge blockbuster, when you got people dressing in their best African wardrobe jyst to go sit an watch the movie, that's when you knew it was a winner. This movie with all do respect portrays a culture thru tribal dress an their actions but has only a few people of color an if they're in the scene as you heard him say they didn't have time to put it in the movie🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for sharing your opinion I respect your view point .🙏🏾
I'm just BLOWN AWAY of the Kiwis' respect and love they showed Cameron through the "Ka mate" HAKA they performed for him. Although I grew up in California, I was born and raised in the South Pacific Islands. So as a kid, we all had to learn that same Haka. I have heaps of aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, etc., living in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been there a few times and I remember the first time I visited the Aotearoa (New Zealand) land and one thing that stood out for me quite vividly even now I still have fond memories of it... Was how the people were environmentally friendly. I noticed the majority of the Kiwis drove small automobiles, in fact, I made a special effort to find any SUVs or any of those big trucks like the F350, F250 or even F150 and I couldn't find them on the streets. The people were very mindful in maintaining their land clean and less polluted. I was quite impressed with that because here in the States, everyone's trying to one-up someone else via buying the biggest automobile. Now that HAKA the men performed as part of the movie, I wished it was included in the final cut. But I'll be getting the Producers Cut which could include that particular HAKA. Now, I won't fault Cameron for leaving that piece (Haka) out of the final film because I'll blame his Whiteness or American-ness for NOT understanding the spiritual meaning of that HAKA because any Kiwi Producer would have DEFINITELY included that piece in the final movie because of the sacredness of that Haka to the entire production of the movie. And I doubt Cameron really captured the essence of that HAKA. Because something like that is definitely a NO BRAINER to emphatically include in the final movie and cut something else out. I'm saddened by that because if it were in the movie can you just imagine the ENTIRE country of NEW ZEALAND going to see the movie simply because they want to see the HAKA. EVERY Kiwi kid young and old would be so PROUD of it and they'd be beaming with KIWI PRIDE. I remember a few years back my nephew died from a gang drive-by shooting in Auckland, NZ. He was about 22 yo. At his burial at the cemetery, while my uncle's and other relatives were lowering the casket down into to its resting spot, my nephew's "homies" or friends broke out in a beautifully orchestrated HAKA. I later learned that particular HAKA was a Father's final plead for his son whom passed away. So it was a Father's farewell plead to his Son and it was just an emotional scene to see all these young men and a few young women performed farewell chant for their friend, my nephew.
14:39 pure facts. I switched my house to solar and now drive a Prius. I also camp way more because this film changed the trajectory of my life. I was a business student who switched back to film thanks to this movie inspiring me. Also generally, I care way less for material things.
omg, I cried in that part. I also felt that so much while watching the film. It really has a strong message about conservation and the environment. Thanks for sharing the changes you did in your own life. I also do the same with mine in my own little ways.
I just saw Avatar 1 again in cinemark theater and it was still amazing as the 1st time I watched. I'm so excited for Avatar 2. James Cameron is beyond amazing!!!
same. i've watcheed it all the way back in 2009 in theater BUT not imax. last week i went to our local theater which has 3D IMAX and i was absolutely blown away.
I just watched it 3 times in 5 days! Twice in 3-D. That's on top of the 3 times I watched it in 2010. After watching all 3 behind the scenes videos I must see it one more time before it leaves the big screen again.
23:40 - NOW I understand why they finished shooting a year or two ago, but the film will only be out in December. What they did back then wasn't a movie, it was raw material with which to create a movie. The movie is Jim Cameron wandering around on a soundstage with a device like a huge tablet and trying out different shots of the same event, an event that once was an acted performance, but now exists only in a computer.
08:56 In a way it's sad that Wes Studi doesn't get much recognition because of his work done in this movie, though I can sorta get it, because he's role as Oloeyktan isn't as big. But his voice is just so perfect for the role that he was given. You can truly feel like he's some alien tribal leader from outer space!
There will be no “Haka,” James Cameron and Cliff Curtis (The Kiwi star in the second film) have made it expressly clear that no “Haka,” will take place, BUT!! Don’t lose hope, because they are still creating a haka inspired dance that is more culturally appropriate for the water tribe. They are just also taking inspiration from many other cultures as well so they can make their own dance rather than stealing a very valuable cultural practice. Which I am personally very happy about because it feels disrespectful to rip off a māori dance and then call it “alien,” or “otherworldly,” when it’s a normal thing for them and very important. (My source is from 2018, Rotorua haka performers inspire Avatar 2 film published by Te Ao; Māori News)
I am physically disabled for life because of a car Accident when I was 10 months of age it's severely verily damaged the left side of my body because it damaged the right side of my skull my brain. Which gave me partial paralysis for life. The thing that I liked about this movie was the fact that their was no such thing as a disability. If you were disabled as Jake Sully proved You were transported into the body of leave of somebody from avatar. And you lived your life as as a person from avatar. In my life I have gone through 819 major surgeries since 1963. I have had a grand total of 1500 different procedures give or take. And my body has died Clinically about 50 or 60 times during these surgeries. Yet when I watch this movieIt made me feel that you can truly accomplish anything you put your mind too.
Me just calmly enjoying this..... and then Sam talks in an Australian accent and I'm like "WAIIIIITT WHAAAT" I mean he did such an amazing job at sounding American that I totally had no idea he was Australian xD
A unique film that will be very hard to match or better. Now I have seen the behind camera preparation it is even more amazing, produced by a visual genius. Definitely want to see more like this - and even longer viewing please. (A New Zealander)
OMG what amazing movie I love every part of the movie! Thank you to my child she made watch this movie but before we went to watch the part 2 she made watch the first part I fell in love right away everything looks amazing. What amazing director is James Cameron❤also the movie brings such an amazing message oh God I just love it! Thank you 🙏
When the Stephen Lang Character said, "Did two tours in Nigeria myself," I kinda wondered why Jim Camron specifically picked Nigeria as his location choice. At first, didn't think much of it since it's just talking heads dialogue scene. But then, throughout the movie, there's that Navi phrase that kept popping up: "I see you,". Now, it didn't quite hit me until the final scene where Natyiri saves Jake from suffocating. As she cuddles him and tearfully says, "I see you," my mind went straight to the Igbo language spoken in South east Nigeria. The phrase: "a fụrụ m gị n'anya," echoed in my head when she said that. Its meaning? I love you. But, the LITERAL translation is: "I see you." I shit you not. Now, I don't know if there's any other "human" language on our planet with this same literal translation. If you do, please, chime in.
I'm pretty late in watching all the behind the scenes, but it's made me appreciate the movie a lot more. I've watched the movie on Disney+ so many times now
I loved the movie from the get go,but seeing this was fantastic. I realized just how much true effort from all involved to produce this amazing film. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes video it was truly an eye opener. Looking forward to Avatar 2, and the amazing imagination that will come.
The movie brings me back to my roots 🙏what amazing movie part 1 and 2 part so spiritual,so emotional, so much respect for the nature wow what great performance from all the characters, I just love it every single part of the movie. James Cameron you are genius God bless you 🙏❤️😍
That’s where we got the signal transduction scene. From Dr. Botanist to Weaver’s character it’s pretty good. Also the botanist reminds me of Dr Grace Augustine.
Correction: The German word order is NOT S-O-V, it's S-V-O (subject - verb - object) if there's no auxiliary. If there is an auxiliary, then the word order is S-V-O-T-P-V, i.e. "I have with my friend on Monday to the store gone." (Ich bin mit meinem Freund am Montag in den Laden gegangen.). I still absolutely love the movie though! :-)
Even so, knowing how the film was made, nothing is lost from virtual reality, what matters is the argument, if it is good, everything is good, I really like virtual reality, although it is fiction, it is something magical, it only exists in our dreams such realities.
what a shame they didnt put the haka into the film.. its so powerful. could have done less of the ship flying scenes and the war and put that in....its still my favourite movie 13 or 14 years later and i had no idea about the tribal dance scene.. that would have sent it completely over the top for me

To hear him talking about my country's culture like that absolutely made my year.
i rlly love this movie literally my favorite
Same here I've watched Avatar hundreds of time's and still can't get enough of it
Avatar 2 is coming out next year along with a game for PC, PS5 and Xbox Scarlett

after 12 years, popped up on my wall. what an amazing film crew. this is the great movie of all time..
totally blown away!!
Thats why the clothing looks familiar , it inspired from my country traditional outfit. Cant wait for the sequel
The amount of craftsmanship in this movie is just unreal.
Me just calmly enjoying this..... and then Sam talks in an Australian accent and I'm like "WAIIIIITT WHAAAT" I mean he did such an amazing job at sounding American that I totally had no idea he was Australian xD
Don’t doubt James Cameron legendary director writer producer I love Pandora and this universe
The pronunciation of 'navi' is similar to the language of butterfly in Korea, so it sounds so pretty to me as a Korean🥺🥺
omg that’s adorable
Truly phenomenal…so much hard work went into this movie. Love love it!! Can’t wait to see the new one next month!!
JAMES CAMEROUN IS NOT ONLY A DIRECTOR BUT ALSO AN INSTITUTION !!!
This is the best movie in the entire world
Fr fr
12:56, It's certain, because there are a lot of ferns plants on Pandora too. And being an actor is learning more science about plants or biology. :)
I wish I could act in this movie 💙💙💙😭😭😭😭

this end bit is real cool, can't image the hard drives and CPU power needed at that time....
Fantastic movie! Can't wait to see the sequel!!! 2.5 months more to wait!
What if Avatar 2 starts with that ceremonial singing which was cut in the first.
Fantastic Film!
I've watch the part 2 and it was very amazing movie i swear 🙏👌 👍 💯
It is. It’s incredibly immersive and feels like you visited an alien planet.

Without their Haka we never would have gotten the other 4 Avatar movies. This showed James that what he was doing was amazing work
So many effort has been put to make this movie.
there are textbook directors. and there's this guy on whom textbooks would be made. by god, what a genius!

Sooo cool, wow!!
Wow. This is crazy work.

Thank you 🙏🏻 so much ⭐️👨💼🙎♀️⭐️
