    James Cameron is in no way past his prime. He is a highly accomplished technical movie maker and his contributions have had a positive, lasting impact on the industry. Avatar will not be remembered for its storytelling, but it will be remembered for the technical advances that came from it.

      Avatar will be remembered for shoving 3d down our throats for over a decade.

        I’ve seen all 3 Avatar movies in the theater, and not once was I forced to watch it in 3D. You probably need to find a different theater if yours is shoving shit down your throat.

          3d tv’s, 3d photo cameras. Every movie in the cinema had to be in 3d. It was hard to avoid. Sure you could go to a different showing but most movies were forced in 3d or a smaller screen.

                Perhaps, but you were just bitching about 3D movies being an option and claiming that since it’s an option it’s being shoved down your throat. So, yeah, I was matching the energy of your insufferable comment.

                  Yeah and I told the truth. If there’s 10 showings of a movie and only 1 is 2d, it hard to avoid. Even movies not even filmed in 3d. Avatar will be completely forgotten but I will always be pissed about that 3d bullshit.
