Just when the world needed it the most, the Avatar franchise has returned! Amidst all the hype, I thought it would be interesting to analyze what exactly made this franchise the phenomenon that it is today.

This movie made me care more about a whale than most film characters I've seen all year. On opening night in particular people cheered for Payakan. It was an amazing experience.
Yeah, I hate it when people say that Avatar is just a bunch of generic tropes, I legit cared so much about the Sully family throughout the film
It might be tropey, but it has at least some originality to it.
It really is more it's own genre (even if it has some typical plots it follows).
@@themultiverseisbroken4365 Almost every single movie out there closely resembles other movies. Let's not even mention superhero movies, for a start.
This particular objection is really easy to make, because there are actually only a few somewhat similar movies to the Avatar films -- Fern Gully, Pokahantas, Dances with Wolves come to mind -- so those titles are automatically brought up in criticisms as being similar. Other movies have hundreds of similar movies to themselves, but since people expect that type of movie, the objection of similarity never even occurs to them.
@@rescuearch7802 I agree, people just pick and choose when simplicity is a problem in a film. Its only a problem when it lacks originality, which is something that can't be said about the Avatar films
Avatar’s story is simple but pretentious dumbasses don’t like that cause they did the story to be filled with constant exposition or talk about heavy stuff so they themselves can feel smarter, like they’re watching sophisticated. Also, just hating Avatar now is a trend with baseless criticisms.
I think it comes down to plot vs character development and how Cameron gets the points across. Plot, Cameron will literally just have Jake tell you through narration what they are up to. But the character development and moments is all show don’t tell, and it’s done outstandingly. The emotional journeys of the characters in both movies are incredible, and it’s all done through little moments and expressions. Not an ounce of film time is wasted when you are thinking about what the characters are feeling. Love these movies so much
Jake was a fun protagonist in the first film, and I found myself so invested in the whole Sully family in Avatar 2.
You people are stupid. The characters are generic and one note. How we are supposed to think of the characters IS told and not shown, and its message is downright propaganda-like. The character moments are also extremely predictable without any interest or any nuance. The Way Of Water is pretty much just the first movie.
Effects can only do so much. You need a good story and characters to make it a true experience. Something these films lack terribly. The reason they are big at the box office is because they are so big on effects and theater experience but nothing more. I actually prefer to watch not in theaters because that allows me to see the film the way it really is without the biased theater experience filter.
I real film is one that immerses you no matter the viewing. Either in theaters or at home on a streaming service.
Watched avatar three times already. I think you hit the nail on the head, it's the world of Pandora that keeps drawing me in
four times here! Its so gooood, I love this movie 💙
James Cameron having 3 original movies cross 2 billion in 3 different decades is insane
Yeah, he really is the "King of the Box Office"
While I personally wouldn't place Cameron in my top 10 directors list, I can't argue with how incredibly successful he's been. Definitely on his way to becoming a billionaire filmmaker (if not already).
@@TheMellowMutant
Really? Not even at the bottom like place 9 or 10?
Who are the others?
Villeneuve, Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, Hitcock (though he is dead)...? Which are admittedly darn good.
Can you really call Titanic an original movie though? Lol. Not to diminish his work on that film, but history and previous movies did a lot of the heavy lifting for him.
@@Jerico195 I think it was executed masterfully. The love story is pretty mediocre, but everything involving the sinking of the ship really displayed how big of a tragedy it really was.
Part of it is the sheer cinema experience, which a lot of movies don't really create or capitalise on. They're on a big screen, but they're not really elevated as a result. Avatar is, and its one of the most (imo the most) immersive film series that exists, and virtually all aspects of it are approached fully. Very, very little breaks the illusion, and having such unmatched visuals, blended with a believable world, and believable but insane action sequences, makes the movies an incredible thing to watch on the big screen. Top Gun was much the same, and I honestly wish more movies would go for a bit more realism in their big set pieces. One thing to consider is how well Cameron's other movies hold up over time, decades later, and it is a testament to how much work and dedication went into not only making them look good, but giving them memorable set pieces and sequences, especially compared with some other blockbuster films in recent decades.
Yeah I think the experience is the primary factor
yeah, you´re definetely right about that realism thing, everything in these movies is thought out and makes sense, esspecially the human tech
@@deathsinger1192 yeah, that's something I really appreciate about these films. Also, the human tech is so cool!
And those films don't really need to capitalize on theater experience. A truly great film is one that doesn't break the illusion that it's not real, no matter the place of viewing.
James Cameron knows how to create an experience that the audience feels lucky to witness. If the other studios are smart they will move away from superhero films and instead create their own cutting edge space epics. Imagine if Pixar stopped making those tired cookie cutter family films, and instead made a billion dollar prestige space opera with the most advanced CGI. The future of the blockbuster is about creating other worlds that look as real as ours. World's with deep lore and immersion that they can make 5 films inside of, and then rake in the money when they are put on streaming services. Cameron is making the most expensive and profitable streaming series of the future here. He's a genius.
Yeah, I hope studios learn from Avatar's success instead of relying on their old bag of tricks like their doing with Marvel and Pixar
The Avatar films have done so well because they have legs, remaining in theaters for many months. They invite repeated re-watching on the big screen (preferably in Imax 3D), and many MANY people have done so.
Why do they have legs? Mainly (in my opinion) because of the absolutely gorgeous visuals, and the obvious care that all involved in their production have taken, going above and beyond what is normal.
Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy did the same thing, being a clear labor of love for those involved.
Yeah the staying power of this franchise is crazy!
I saw it in Dolby 3D, and it was one of the best movie experiences I've ever had. I felt present in the world of Pandora, and they used 3D well enough it was not only enjoyable but preferable.
Every few minutes, me and my brother looked at each other because we were so in awe at the 3D.
Same!
I think people also need to remember that Star Wars, Marvel, and Jurassic Parks are franchises that have been around for decades
I think Avatar will have a larger impact in a few years
Thats fair, those brands are at the very least 30+ years old. Avatar is still very new in comparison
Given its 13 years ago since the first one. I can see this would become bigger and the visuals will slowly be soooo good and to experience iy
these same people would write off Star Wars back in the 70s. And comparing a original script movie with superhero movies/comics that have been established for 80 years is kind of silly. Avatar made a big impact, it's just one guy started the snowball and now everyone parrots the same things "no cultural impact" , " a movie with 260 million production budget has to make more then 2 billions to break even".
Capeshit fans are in shambles.
@@MrPrankmastergeneral yeah people can say some stupid things
They did re release it in theaters. It was in theaters last month before the new one came out. It's a shame you didn't know that. It was a great experience to see in the theater.
I did know about that, I was just incredibly busy that weekend 🙁
Because it's a perfect film for theaters. It's got a story that's not too intense, that anyone can pick up and understand. It's not like the MCU where you have to have seen the previous 30 movies to understand the plot and the characters. It's also visual eye candy. Every single frame is appealing to your senses. For the same reason 1 was so successful as well. Sure, the story is cookie cutter, but when I watched that in Imax 3d in 2009 I was absolutely absorbed and blown away. It felt real, like I was right there. Few films can match that feeling and Avatar Way of Water captures it again and then some. James Cameron knows how to draw an audience in, to even the most basic of plots. Titanic was just Romeo and Juliet on a sinking ship, but he drew us into that as well. Movies don't have to have insanely crafted stories to entertain an audience. Tried and true story lines are tried and true for a reason, and they've been told in one way or another since we started recording our stories around fires before we even learned how to create language and writing.
Absolutely agree, this is primarily why Avatar is beating Marvel right now. It cares about the movie experience rather than a million interconnected films that are increasingly confusing casual audiences who haven't seen x movie or show.
Yep, I think MCUs worst decision was to make TV series interconnected with the main story. That is wrong. Except a core fan community, nobody in real life has that much of time in their hands. I literally am now just bounding myself to Spiderman movies both Sony and Marvel ones.
@@soumyakantigiri idk, Sony's Spider-Verse seems like a mess to me, but Im very excited to see where the MCU's Spiderman journey goes. Hopefully Daredevil has a big role and Miles Morales gets introduced. Also, of course I'd love to see Maguire and Garfield again in Kang Dynasty and/or Secret Wars.
@@soumyakantigiri No. Their worst decision was inserting woke narrative to their movies.
@@iamscottsummersfrom616 Define woke.
James Cameron is Scientist making movies, that’s why he knows how to make simple, but relatable stories and characters, he studies the human psyche, and like you said, the world sucked in and you feel like are actually there, I remember stories about people being depressed because they wanted to live in pandora.
If Pandora was real, I'd move there ASAP.
Sigourney Weaver said about James Cameron that "he is half-scientist half-artist", and Stephen Lang said that "Jim is really quite a renaissance guy cause he combines the qualities of an engineer, a scientist and a visionary artist". I think if Leonardo Da Vinci had lived in our time, he would have become a director like James Cameron, he would have culminated his legendary sense of observation, his pioneering spirit, his insatiable scientific curiosity and his artistic perfectionism through the 7th art.
The reason why Avatar is SO successful is that it is SO bloody good a movie!
It is very good, but theres a ton of really good movies out there, I think it really is the visuals and the experience that elevate it in terms of box office
@@themultiverseisbroken4365well because avatar is unique . No movies screams BFx more than avatar. Avatar is VFX . And that’s why people are magnetized to that
@@simply6162 yeah, there really is no movie experience quite like seeing an Avatar film
@@themultiverseisbroken4365 do you mean in general? And with that I fully agree! Or do you mean there are a lot of great movies out AT THE PRESENT TIME? In which case, I would appreciate your suggestions.
@@st-ex8506 I mean in general there are a lot of great movies at the same level as Avatar that didn't do as well. I think Avatar's elevated success is primarily because of the experience but yes, Avatar 1 and especially 2 are great movies. As for recommendations of other movies out right now, I would absolutely recommend the new Puss and Boots film. Hope this cleared up your questions 👍
2009 - I was 10 when I saw Avatar in cinema for the first time.
2022/2023 - Saw Avatar 2 already four times in cinema 3D and 4DX!
I have never thought so much and so often about a film!
What beautiful movie. I can't get enough, I'm deep down the Avatar rabbithole 💙
Thats awesome to hear!
We first world countries demand too much expectations in movies because we've gotten so used to it, but you forget that the majority of the world wants something simple but visually mesmerizing. That's Cameron's main target audience, simplicity in storytelling but dazzling in visual effects. And it works.
Absolutely
I genuinely believe we are witnessing a revolution in cinema, with films like Avatar, Top Gun, even John Wick... theaters won't survive on popcorn flicks. They need real films again. Awesome video!
Simplest reason would be - Really good, really big blockbuster movie released during the Holiday season = Big Cash
A more complex reason is the psychology of it - It is like the prettiest and most ethereal travelogue you could imagine. It has a father figure and family unit portrayed in a positive light. It shows the struggles of being a sort of 'middle child black sheep' of the family WITHOUT demonizing any other members in the family.
It was also a good old fashioned traditional movie experience. If you wanted to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home, you had DECADES of cinematic homework to do. You had like 10 previous Spider-Man film appearances to watch to make sure you were primed and ready to go for No Way Home. Clearly people in the US were on board, but internationally it was more of a hump.
For Avatar: The Way of Water ALL you had to do was to go back and watch the first Avatar. No tie-in shows or comics, no spin-off movies that were all "required reading" for this new film experience. Like Top Gun....you watch the first movie, then you watch the 2nd movie, simple as that. Like the GOOD OLD DAYS of movie franchises.
Hoping we are seeing a comeback of those days!
@@themultiverseisbroken4365 Indeed, I honestly think that audiences are going to turn against the entire "Cinematic Universe" concept pretty hard.
I mean, outside of the MCU most of them have been met with a lot of eyerolls and skepticism and don't really take off.
The Conjuring "universe" worked on the scale of low budget horror. But the DC Extended Universe has been a constant struggle, the "Dark Universe" actually kind of failed to get going twice(Dracula Untold and The Mummy)
I think there were one or two others that didn't ignite. Even the fairly successful "Monsterverse" with Godzilla and Kong only really found success by being more of a linear, one-film-at-a-time franchise as opposed to trying to turn into some multi-release simultaneous "shared universe"
So while DC is now coming with a bit of a slate locked in...I honestly think it is all going to be too little, too late.
@@creategreatness8823 I don't think franchises like the MCU are going anywhere, but I really do think movies like Top Gun and Avatar are going to take center stage from now on. The casual viewer is going to feel incredibly excluded if they realize they need to watch 10 other movies/TV shows to understand an upcoming film they're thinking about watching.
For me, it is just such perfect escapism. The world and the characters are so captivating. The musical score and the world make you want to be there. For those few hours in the theatre, you are transported to a whole new world. Especially if you may not have the most exciting life lol, it is wonderful escapism for those that need it. It makes me want to be a na'vi on Pandora LOL
I know the feeling lol
Because of James Cameron. He is the master of 3D cinematography. He can immerse audiences in his story and characters better than anyone else in Hollywood. Hes been doing this unabated since The Terminator.
Yeah, he's a fantastic director
"Why is Avatar SO Successful?"
It is spectacular.
True, true.
I honestly love both avatar movies I really do feel like movies you need to watch at the cinema.
Absolutely!
Most recent hero movie to blow me away in my seat was Alita: Battle Angel. That movie had a world as unique and clever as Avatar. Hope we get a sequel soon. Marvel and DC have fallen off from their prime. (The batman was good tho)
Yeah, really excited to see The Batman: Part Two!
I went from being ambivalent > dismissive of Avatar 1 to just supporting Avatar 2 on artistic principal. It's clearly a franchise that resonates with a lot of ordinary people and out of touch film nerds seethe at it's success. When pretentious media studies alumni are unhappy, then I'm happy (I work in media, so I deal with these people a lot).
Yeah Im in a film history class and everyone seems to hate Avatar there for some reason 🙁. I mean, Im a film nerd, too, but some people just need to chill out
I grew up watching avatar and I could tell it was underrated successful film of all time but when the sequel came out I’m glad it’s getting recognition. I use to be a big mcu fan having fan Theories when phase 4 came out but now I’m just seem to be losing interest since we see 3 films and 3 tv shows releasing every year which doesn’t ad much suspense what will happen next compared to avatar where there only focused on the main character Jake sully and we don’t need to know the side characters main story in other projects like u see with mcu or dc franchises.
Yeah, I like that there are these interconnected movie franchises, but even more so, I love a good saga like Avatar where we follow the same characters and stories and become invested in that.
It's because of how simple yet moving the story of the movie is , not only because of the visuals . People say the plot isn't original but it was done in a very good way . Simple =/= bad
Exactly! For a "simple" story, it's actually really emotional
What can i say about Avatar 2, hello look at those breathtaking CGI or Visual Effects... & the story is simply about a father whose going to do everything just to protect his family... for me that's simply great...
Great film
I can write a 500 page essay on why James Cameron is a master filmmaker. Simply put, James Cameron understand the fundamental of story telling, traditions that has been passed down for for more than a thousand generations. He doesn't use cheap gimmicks, such as lens flares, fast-editing or slick dialogue (J.J. Abram... cough... cough). He doesn't gamble on subverting traditions (Ryan Johnson... cough... cough).
*insert subtle sequel trilogy jab here*
U good at editing.
Thanks!
New Channel, new subscriber. Great vid Keep them coming
Thanks man, will do!
I only watch Avatar in 2d Normal format, I never watch any movies in 3d bc I don't like it. But I enjoyed Avatar 2 so much in cinema too in 2d ^^ my favorite movies of all, Avatar 1 and 2
I love Avatar ❤ because it has Bad Ass 3D
You're not the only one ❤
I like your energy, subbed
Thanks!
Eh, I don't know that people necessarily care about Avatar as a franchise. If that were true, there would've been huge demand for these long awaited sequels, which there wasn't, and it's story and characters would've had a much bigger impact in the decade-plus since the original. What people are responding to, I think, is both the positive depiction of a reasonably healthy family at the forefront of the story, but most especially, the fact that they feel they need to see James Cameron show us something we've never seen before on screen. In other words, I think people are coming for the spectacle of seeing the technical marvel and innovation of the visuals. That's all I think it is, honestly. It's a novel and impressive movie on a technical and graphical level that demands to be experienced in the theaters. I just don't think people would have responded to Avatar in the years since the original if people's interest in the franchise had anything to do with the story or its characters, because people starting undervaluing it as soon as other movies started doing similar and equally impressive things with its motion capture, MCU, The Hobbit, and Planet of the Apes in particular. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if people are basically just going to stare at the cool CGI water and soace whales and trying to figure out what's real and what isn't. To be fair, I do agree that it ultimately boils down to having "the experience" that was made to he seen in theaters. Other than James Cameron, but I think only Christopher Nolan consistently understands this.
That's fair.
Watched this in 3D but it gave me a headache from wearing those glasses for over 3 hours 😅. This film was like watching a Planet Earth documentary (except Pandora). The world was amazing and intriguing but it didn't have a cohesive enough story that felt interesting to me. The biggest reason it makes so much money is because overseas, it's extremely popular. That's not to say its not popular here in the U.S. but it dwarfs in comparison to international ticket sales (mainly China). Speaking of which, If No Way Home had been released in China, I believe it would have ended its theatrical run at $2 billion. I would definitely play an open-world Avatar game for sure (I think there is a game in development too). Anyway, great video!
NWH would have absolutely cleared 2 billion if released in China considering how ridiculously close it got to the milestone. Fingers crossed it releases there someday
Cause people can relate world wide.
Yeah, its a very broad story that you don't need 300 other films to understand
Cameron formula is simple.. make a big budget movie with a simple story..which engage audience in visuals rather in story.
Story's good enough for me to be emotionally invested 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
A loyal male bonded with you for life is attractive
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
@@themultiverseisbroken4365 he aint cheating. You can see all those fan videos tursting over them. Is good publicity to imagine a loyal male humanoid
What 😂
AVATAR is not "one-note" or "simple." Just because you don't get LOST in the story and plot (two different things) doesn't mean that the story is "simple." It means that the storyTELLING is masterful. Every character, whether in just the first film or so far across both films, is nuanced and complex, while also being grounded in their own backgrounds. In other words, characters don't magically change their motivations or jump to unfounded conclusions just to serve the plot. The entire fabric of the AVATAR stories moves every element forward intentionally. Please rewatch DANCES WITH WOLVES, FERNGULLY, and POCAHONTAS to reacquaint yourselves with how flat, one-dimensional, those stories (and plots) are. Not to mention how Cameron is combining male and female myths in his larger and new ecological myth, he is expanding on the themes he's established from the beginning. The successes of the AVATAR franchise are not solely due to the spectacle or the loving care of the filmmakers given to the viewers VISUAL experience. It's due to the whole thing being a complete and persuasive package, and that began with the scripts and the themes. If I'm not mistaken, by the end of the 5 films, I think the over-arching theme will be "How do we humans relate correctly to the planet on which we live?" This is not about Na'vi. It's about HUMANS.
Excited to see what the next three films have in store!
Wait dis channel only has 4 subs?
Yeah, just started this channel, hoping to see more subscriber growth in the following weeks 🤞🤞🤞
Asking this because I'm genuinely wondering: Do you think it might be because these films offer the closest experience to playing a videogame to people who don't usually play them? A channel named Loverboy Media has suggested this as well in a video and I found that take to be very interesting, because as someone who is very much into playing videogames, I just feel like the movies don't feel to me like everyone is describing them for themselves. They don't feel all that immersive to me contrary to what I hear all the time, the worldbuilding feels quite shallow (ofc games can often take a lot more time for it though!), and the rather basic storytelling bugs me more than it seems to do for other people. I'm genuinely just asking for opinions, do you feel like that might play into how popular the movies are, maybe especially among people that aren't into gaming as much? Everyone's free to disagree with that take, just interested in other people's experiences :)
That may certainly be a factor. Very curious about the Frontiers of Pandora game that's coming up.
@@themultiverseisbroken4365 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :) I'm very curious about that as well, and I really hope they put a lot of effort into that game and give the fans the best they can. I'm a little concerned since the technical superiority of the movies will be very hard to carry over into a videogame - I have no doubt it will look good, but I feel like a game inspired by Avatar almost requires being as visually impressive as a game of the current generation can be, and whether Ubisoft can handle that remains to be seen. Eager to see more of it, it could definitely turn out awesome. Fingers crossed!
@@CritsVG 🤞🤞🤞
People aren't looking for anything new. They're looking for something GOOD
Saying, "We need more people who care about the movies they make" is great and everything -- it's no big secret -- but how are corporations supposed to produce artistic drive?
You're asking them to acquire the very thing that their job is designed to eliminate: novelty and risk.
That's what directors are for. The corporations make the business decisions while the directors pour their heart and soul into something their passionate about.
Love Avatar 2
Same!
Because it’s funnnnnnnnn. And tells an actual story and people **people like meee** enjoy telling others to go see it. James Cameron, take my moneyyyyyyyy💕💕
Pretty much lol
The way of water was better in every single thing possible than the 1st film, yeah avatar 1 was good but 2nd was very good 👍
Completely agree!
Anyone Noticed There is no Use of AI Bots or software to communicate, only humans and machine, not a correct friction world.
?
Reason why: you get to go to a better world than here
Pretty much, yeah
It's a great film
Indeed
I was concerned this would devolve into another Avatar-bashing video that seemed uninterested in genuinely examining why this film is a good experience and I'm very glad I was wrong
Yeah, I don't know why so many videos involve hating on these films. Both made 2 billion+ at the box office and both were literally nominated for best picture
Avatar is literally the impersonation of what humanity could be with its earth if only we weren't a greedy race governed by capitalism.
Yeah, the messaging is deeper than what most people think
I dont think every movie needs to have a lasting cultural impact or presence to be mega hits. Avatar and avatar 2 probably made tons of movie because people wanted to go watch a movie that doesn't require you to have watched a 6 other movies and tv shows to understand whats happening.
Honestly I think Avatar's impact will get much larger as the years pass, especially with the sequels coming out
So it's just the visuals
No
i almost fall asleep watching Avatar 2, Avatar 1 is good
I actually think Avatar 2 is noticeably better than the original movie, but I love them both
You still know: it's all about money. It's all about the numbers. If you do 2B 10 years apart, it's sadly still less than 500M twice a year - however sh*tty those movies may be.
Hollywood are bean counters; sorry to say that.
At least, every other century you have a decent film again. :)
Interesting
Avatar 2 is magnificently beautiful. It's awe-inspiring. However, that's it. The story sucked, the acting is horrifically bad. The bad guys motivation makes zero sense. The word bro was used more in this one movie than I have ever heard in my entire life. I have seen both movies only once. This is my own experience. If people love this, if people constantly go to see it, that's nothing but a great thing for theaters.
I personally had a different experience with the film, but I completely understand where you're coming from
I think your whole video essay is built on a false premise. People are just looking for well made films and not necessary a new franchise.
Well, maybe, but that doesn't change the main point of my video. The reason the Avatar movies AS FILMS are so successful is because they care about the movie experience. Even if Avatar was just one movie, that doesn't change the main point.
overrated meh of a movie imo. both parts. the tech is impressive but its still quite obviously CGI if u look for it. the story is meh in both parts.
Thats fair
I may be an outlier here, but I actually really dislike the Avatar series. The environmentalist messaging is so heavy handed it makes my eyes roll into the back of my skull and the second one butchered the nuance the first one had. Yes, the first one had nuance. The humans did try to be peaceful with the na'vi, and then Jake Sully comes up, betrays every human on earth for some alien tribe ruled over by, essentially, a world-spanning parasite god (I am biased yes, but I will give a fair shake to the Na'vi in that it was their home under threat and they had every right to be defensive overit, but the humans had tried to teach the na'vi and maybe see if they would be willing to move at some point.)
The first one I merely disliked, the second one turns humans into mustache twirling bad guys from saturday morning cartoons that are killing baby seals to make a fur coat. There is no nuance anymore there, just Snidely Whiplash cackling madly.
I feel kinda similarly. It's entertaining on a superficial level, and it does have fantastic visuals and worldbuilding, but upon any closer inspection, it doesn't really work for me. If it was just trying to be a fun action adventure movie, fine. I'd be less critical, but they're trying to be these profound statements, and they really aren't. Their approach to environmental issues are kinda cringe, unhelpfully lacking in nuance, and borderline, arguably outright misanthropic. The writing of the second was is honestly kinda dumb in certain places, and even if the details are obviously different, it's structure is overtly a rehash of the original film which itself is basically a rehash of much better films (I don't hate the plot even if I don't love it, so I don't hold that against it in the original film). It can improve, but it'll take better writing in the sequels. The Pilgrim's Pass channel was right. Princess Mononoke handles these environmental issues and how humanity relates to the natural world with far more maturity, nuance, understanding, and compassion than Avatar.
Thats fine, all film is subjective. My best friend feels very similarly about Avatar.
It's not, imax tickets cost 26% more then normal tickets. People are only going to see it in imax. Averagers made billions selling cheaper tickets.........just saying......lol
Any way you look at it, its making more money. After a month in a half, it has passed what Infinity War did by the end of its run. People are consistently seeing this film again and again
True but it's still making money
