Geez… So much… Slapping?
Ok who numbered 'em up… So you see some different tastes.
Man, I wish I never spent money on this abomination of a movie. Its not only derivative of his own work but rips off Edgar Rice Burroughs and Ursula K. Le Guin, the woman who practically invented new age.
Aliens - great!
Terminator - great!
Terminator 2 - garbage, never saw the other ones.
Titanic - great! However, I'm sure its better if you're a chick.
Abyss - a 17 year old wrote it
Battle Beyond the Stars? - Awesome!
Battle Beyond the Stars was Cameron? Take Kurosawa's masterpiece Seven Samurai, put it in a western setting and you get yourself a great movie called Magnificent Seven. Or take that same Kurosawa and put in sci-fi setting, it just can't miss, and because of low budget this movie is practically a cult classic. A rip off yes, but not insulting to original and fun all the way.
Piranha Part Two: The Spawning is one of the worst movies ever made, not the worst however, Cameron got lucky and someone made Ankle Biters. Not fun at all.
Aliens is a sci-fi shooter. There is no boring filler like Mass Effect 2 sonar and the movie is not a shocker as the first one, but again fun all the way.
Terminator and
Terminator 2, if you don't like one of these or both, I don't think you should continue watching action movies. Sorry. Both movies were robophobic action sci fi and again fun all the way.
Abyss was a pure gem, one of rare movies back then where aliens weren't hostile and weren't trashy tomatoes from outer space. Fun all the way? To me it was.
True Lies is one of those movies that, after watching it, makes you feel happy. Dunno how and why. Again action, not sci fi this time, lot's of comedy and parody, IMO this is the best Cameron's movie ever and a musthave in your home DVD collection.
Titanic is the only Cameron's movie I haven't watched. I belong to the minority of 100 people who refused to watch the obvious milking scamware. About this one I know it's not sci fi and it's not action. The script probably escaped some soap TV series and got a huge budget. I'll never touch this fiction as it most definetly didn't disclose the real reason of the catastrophe and why ice could break the hull in the first place - covered up ongoing fire while Titanic was "setting sails". I'm sick of Hollywood's so called based on truth movies that are so far from reality I'm avoiding those like a plague.
Avatar is again action in sci fi setting and as someone already hinted, it's VR use only not with digital bodies. And it's not the only movie with "dolls" people control (Surrogates were filmed in that same year). This movie contains the best scene ever that's definetly real (Sigourney Weaver returning to her real body and asking for something fast). And again, it's fun all the way.
Sum up? No Cameron's movie I watched is a masterpiece but they're all fun and not boring drama.
Cameron is not Jodorowsky, is not Vehlmann and is not Kubrick. If you don't care for action and searched for deep thinking, puzzles, mindfuck and general brain food in his movies, I'm not even sure why you watched them. Because of marketing? Because of low IQ friends that suggested them as they can understand those? Why are you watching movies you know you most probably won't like? It's like buying Mass Effect 2 knowing it's a shooter with boring sonar then spitting on it because it's not, for example, a spaceship driving simulator.

But people, it's all off topic. The topic is some Avatar game. It's based on some movie, but it's not a movie, it's a game. So let's forget the movie. Let's concentrate on what matters here.
Ubisoft.
Can Ubisoft make a visually great game? Absolutely can. Except so far they still make horrible hair.
Can Ubisoft make a game with no boring filler? Generally, no, they can't.
Does Ubisoft know what RPG is? Division. Ubisoft marketed that MMO trash as RPG.
Will the game be several different editions, season pass scam and microtransactions? Most probably will.
I'm a graphics whore but I'm not buying.
