Is it just me, or should James Cameron ditch the high tech?
Wh♎y the Avatar auteur should go back to basics...

Asking 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron to relent from pushing cinema’s techno- envelope is a bit like begging the scorpion not to sting the frog: he can’t help it, it’s in his nature. And given his last two movies were box-office behemoths Avatar ($2.8bn) and Titanic ($2.2bn), it’s not like he hasn’t g꧒ot thꦆe stats to support his vision.

What’s more, Cameron’s obsession with computer effไects and bending the form of his chosen medium to his iron will has provided modern cinema with some of its most indelible images: the face-mimicking alien water tentacle in The Abyss; the T-1000 reconfiguring with liquid grace in Terminator 2: Judgment Day; the vainglorious steamship upending and being sucked 𝐆into the ocean in Titanic; Sam Worthington going full Smurf in Avatar. Why deny ourselves?
Because, aside from immersive 3D that was (almost) worth the headache, Avatar was exceedingly average; and Titanic, for all of its 11 Oscars and Leo-mania, wasn’t much better. And even if you disagree with me on those two points, are you really that stoked for Avatars 2, 3, 4 and 5 that are taking up space in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Fox movie schedule? It feels like Cameron’s oꦫn the verge of going a bit Colonel Kurtz in Pando𒐪ra’s bioluminescent jungles...
For me, the Canadian auteur’s best film is still 1984’s The Terminator, a lean, mean, well-oiled acti🎉on machine in which the effects (think 2029 Los Angeles) are actually its weakest element, displaying all the hallmarks of a filmmaker who cut his teeth under Roger Corman’s stewardship.
