Avatar (the movie) and its Sequels

[Ghost93]

That is yet to be seen.

I'm only talking about the first film. I think the 2009 Avatar is better than Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, the Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One and Solo.

I'll concede that A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back are better than Avatar.

How come you did not follow your own advice on the prequels

Isn't it a little early to be drinking?

That is the multi-million dollar question.

Disney and James Cameron are a perfect match. They are both slow as molasses.

Well, James Cameron did build this ship for Battle Beyond the Stars.

Or for the 'specialized' edition of A New Hope which threw in a bunch of CGI that wasn't needed in the original.

To be fair, some was. The Death Star attack is much better in the SE.

I still maintain the biggest issue with the Special Edition was how hap hazardly and randomly it was done. It was a tech demo, not actually properly doing what it claimed to do.

and it made 4x the money on a 20 year old rerelease than unmodified Avatar did with a 13 year old rerelease.

When I first saw this pic, I thought it was Jar Jar Binks' head floating in space lol.

Cameron said it was modeled after a woman laying on her stomach head on.

Looks more like a combo of female and male gonads.

Q&A with James Cameron and the cast of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Hold Their Breath

 

[Jedijax719]

Is it even humanly possible to hold your breath for 5 minutes, let alone someone who isn't a trained Navy Seal, professional swimmer, etc.?

Maybe 30-60 seconds, breath, relax, another 30-60 seconds, rinse, repeat but NOT for too many takes at a time.

The current non-oxygen aided records stand at 11 minutes, 35 seconds for men (Stéphane Mifsud, 2009) and 8 minutes, 23 seconds for women (Natalia Molchanova, 2011).

How Long Can Humans Hold Their Breath?

It depends—but you can hold your breath longer in cold water

I don't think the cast all together on a Zoom call would agree to lie about how long they held their breath.

They could have possibly use oxygen-aided diving, but no one has asked them if they did... yet.

Tom Cruise held his breath for over 6 minutes in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. Definitely takes a lot or training.

Tom Cruise Can Hold His Breath Underwater Longer Than Most Humans

Typical Tom Cruise, he wanted to film a 'Mission Impossible' scene in one take, while holding his breath the entire time.

Kate Winslet broke Tom Cruise's record for Avatar: The Way of Water.

Yep. Pretty cool that they are able to do it.

 

[DCBaker]

"According to a listing from Monterey Lounge Cinema in New Zealand, Avatar: The Way of the Water has a runtime of 190 minutes (3 hours and 10 minutes), making it the longest runtime for a widely released theatrical film in 2022. "

Avatar 2's Record-Breaking Runtime Is Even Longer Than Expected

New evidence suggested that Avatar: The Way of Water's runtime is longer than previously reported.
