I say 'Ewa Hears You' all the time.
But not in a positive way. In a deus ex machina stupidest moment of all time kind of way.
I think for about 3 months the entire country fell into a haze of wanting to fly dragons and didn't actually realize the movie wasn't very good. Luckily we all woke up before it won an Oscar.
I remember the name "Neytiri" but that might be it.
Oh and the main guy's name is Jake.
Yay I remembered something!
Here's what I remember:
Jake is a marine and he's in zero gravity as the movie opens. He makes video logs and he goes to Pandora to get unobtainium and then he...Um, Michelle Rodriguez is there. SIgourney Weaver is there, and I don't recall if she's a villian or not.
At some point he 'avatars' and meets blue girl, and tames a creature with an umbilical cord and they run and jump and he joins the tribe in defending the Magic Deku tree from the evil military.
I think that's really all I remember.
Sure, it has nothing to do with the movie itself. Because clearly everyone has forgotten about, say, the avengers. Right?People forget everything fast these days. We ain't in the 80s and 90s any more.
That is the only reason why "we" have forgot about it.
I agree with all of this. I'm still confused.
I've never even seen the movie all the way through (saw maybe 30 minutes or so). I caught some of it a few years ago when I was channel surfing. It looked amazing. But I never finished it.

giovanni ribsi is the bad guy I think
Lol okMarvel/Avengers doesn't count. They've got tv shows, multiple movies of the characters from the avengers movie, conferences where they announce 8 god damn movies that will all make reference to The Avengers or elements involving the Avengers, and a sequel coming in 5 months. Their whole strategy revolves around you not forgetting.
I forgot The Avengers as soon as I walked out of the theatre.
giovanni ribsi is the Carter Burke I think
Did filming start for 2, 3 and 4 actually start in December as per Wikipedia, which links to this article?

No, I think it's currently slated for early next year. Pre-production is taking longer than expected (as usual!).
While I agree that this whole "We fight highly militarised people with little more than animals and bows and we win!" was pretty stupid, I always thought the idea of "Ewa" was pretty well-established and explained in the film. The wholeI say 'Ewa Hears You' all the time.

The wholeplanetmoon was basically a giant neural network, which was discovered rather early into the film.
Curious lack of Scullibundo in this thread
The revisionist history on this movie is always hilarious.
Collider: Obviously we all know that you guys are involved with the Avatar sequels. I love James Cameron and love the way that he pushes technology. What is it like working with him on the sequels? And are you guys pushing the boundary forward again in terms of technology?
JOE LETTERI: We will be. We know that because we know whats coming. But the work now is very much the nuts and bolts. Theres a lot of engineering work going on just to build the infrastructure for what were going to need to do throughout the next three films. Theres a little bit of creative work that were just starting to dip into, but theres infrastructure that needs to be built and thats where most of our work has been so far.
What youre setting up for the Avatar sequels, is that the most ambitious thing you guys have tried to do? Or was The Hobbit and LOTR even more [ambitious]? How do you compare it?
LETTERI: I think what were trying to do for the Avatar sequels will be the most ambitious things weve ever tried. James [Cameron] just has such a complete idea of this world and it is a whole world and its a story he wants to tell over three more films. Its huge in terms of breadth and its detailed in innumerable ways I couldnt get into. Its the kind of project that requires both very specific high level realism at a small micro-level and that micro-level realism needs to work across an entire planet.
I know one of them, I think the second one, does a lot of stuff underwater. I dont know of any motion capture thats been underwater yet. How is it trying to research that kind of technology? It seems like a major step forward.
LETTERI: That will be major but for us its still on the drawing boards. We havent put anybody into water yet. Were just trying to work out the infrastructure for it first.
You're comparing the pop culture impact of a movie that is currently in theaters to a movie from 5 years ago?It does seem weird that a film so incredibly successful has had zero lasting pop cultural impact or influence.
There are no memorable lines, gestures, musical cues. Even lesser stuff like Hunger Games has moments that everyone understands (the whistle, the one finger salute).
Avatar was completely a flash in the pan.
That is extremely coincidental to say the least...like, a tip beyond 'inspirational" incidental...Everyone remembers Avatar, but nobody remembers Delgo.

Toy Story? The Matrix? Jurassic Park? Frozen? I think they all qualify, especially the first three.I wonder what the last film was that actually could be compared to Avatar in terms of (lack of) long-lasting cultural impact vs. money it made. Because for a fair comparison, the "environment" each film is placed in should be roughly the same. That automatically disqualifies all series of films and films set within well-established universes – they have far more than one single film to build their impact on.
So, what are we left with? That's not a rhetorical question, by the way – I honestly don't know what a fair set of films comparable with Avatar in this regard would look like.
I also wonder about what's the cause and what's the effect here, e.g., when talking about the lack of merchandise (or all other stuff to keep Avatar in people's minds) surrounding the film. Was the film thought to be forgettable and thus no merchandise was produced, or was the lack of merchandise a cause of the lack of impact Avatar had?
Oh, and yes, I kind of like the film. Yes, the story is little to speak of and the dialogues not that noteworthy, but I like the universe the film is set in (the neural network moon I already mentioned, but everything else within that universe as well) and of course the visuals. In my opinion, it's still the most beautiful 3D film there is and the environment is one of the most beautiful in any film.

Peter Jackson. He changes and makes his mind up on stuff til the last minute.One thing I don't understand is, how is is that Weta Digital can make Avatar and the new Apes movies look so good but a lot of scenes from The Hobbit seem very spotty?
Avatar 2 will release in 2019 at the earliest.
