14. Cameron Promises A Huge Final Battle
“Let me tell you, this battle at the end of the movie is the mother of all battles.
“You’ve got human technology, helicopter gunships and all sorts of futuristic technology against the Na’vi giants riding their creatures.”
Why This Makes Us Even More Excited
The king of action is claiming he's created "the mother of all battles." In photo-realistic 3D. Can it be December now, please?
15. It's Bigger Than Titanic
“This thing is way beyond anything I’ve ever done before, which is why it’s taken four years to date and we still have seven months to go until our release date.
“Titanic took two years to make, just to give some idea of the effort.”
Why This Makes Us Even More Excited
Avatar has taken twice as long as Titanic to make, which is arguably one of the most technically complex films of our lifetime. And James has spent a lot longer than that pondering the bloody thing. Even in that context, seven months still seems so far away.

This baby is either going to be Cameron's "Schindler's List" or his "Heaven's Gate." The bar's set too high for there to be any in-between.

In a time when Hollywood seems to be obsessed with prequels, sequels and reboots here's James Cameron proving that there still are an original thought or two left in Hollywood. Am unbelievably excited about this movie.

Im hopeful but concerned. No doubt this will be a UK 12a/US PG-13 so they can try and get as many people in and make as much money as possible. I understand that, but such films are usually 'watered down for the masses', and end up being weak, cartoonish, special-effects action films (like the Mummy films or Transformers films). Cameron has a great track record but no-one only makes great films (Speilberg hasn't managed it in 15 years, and he's one of the best!), so im going to temper my excitement until we know a bit more.
Also im red/green colour blind so the 3D could be a problem - anyone know?
