Not interested. James cameron is a doofus.

That movie had some great CG effects but that didn't make the first movie good. 'Avatar' is a stinky cliché-ridden pedantic overblown piece of garbage. It has sci-fy rip-offs galore, ethnic stereotypes applied to a futuristic setting in another solar system, plot devices and predictable factors out the yinyang stolen from every type of film you've seen before, and my cliché meter device/BS detector went into such an overload I had to throw it into a dumpster because smoke came out of it and it exploded! 'Avatar' is a totally absolute pile of rubbish. It's trash. Ain't no way I'm going to see a sequel to it. And it' been 10 years or so since the original doo-doo. Why make a sequel now?

James Cameron has been working on the sequels basically since the last one. Apparently they developed a lot of new technology for it. They've been filming/making them for a few years now I believe.

New and original technology cannot mask an awful movie's clichés and predictable, unoriginal plot and storyline. And 'Avatar' had one of the most unoriginal unimaginative stories I had ever seen in my life. Even the scenes of the huge planet that forested moon orbited was a direct rip-off of the photos that were taken by Voyager 2 when it explored the planet Jupiter. Those pink strands used to 'communicate with nature' - a rip-off of the pink light bulb strands used in the video of 'High On You' by Survivor. Every character, every scenario - predictable. Sigourney Weaver's character was named 'Ripley', just like in 'Alien' and the starship travelers were in cybernetic sleep - hey!!!

My cliché meter went on overload and it self-destructed. That film's total lack of original deep-sixed right from the start and no modern technology effects can mask junk like that. I ain't gonna bother with any sequel to this trash.

Visuals do not always a good movie make. 'Toy Story' is a 5-star classic because of the then-new and revolutionary visual techniques employed and the terrific story. It's a milestone for sure. And I have worked with computer animation and let me tell you, it's a LOT LOTTA LOTTA meticulous work involved. There's so much work involved into it, not really difficult now but it is a lot of time-consuming work for every frame and to even get one minute accomplished.

At the same time somebody has to write a story for the film. That's where the problems arise. 'Avatar' was so damn predictable and cliché-ridden to the maximum not even the best visual technology could even come close to salvaging it from the trash can. And that movie is a bad-written derivative unoriginal piece of garbage. It's total rubbish.

Didn't say it's a good movie - just saying that people watched it for the visuals to the tune of over $2.7 Billion

(Sometimes people just watch things for the visuals; sometimes people just watch things to see young Leonardo DiCaprio become every girl's ideal boyfriend. Sometimes people watch movies not for the story.)

And that's the part I don't know how they'll recreate because when Avatar first came out, 3D movies were kinda new, so the visuals mesmerized people
