That could be. I didn't consider higher fps.It's likely it was created in 8K, runs at 60 FPS vs the little under 30 for a traditional film. That's account for the increase.

it won one and had a 25% on rotten tomatoes
Avatar won 3 and was nominated for 9 awards including best picture and best director it also won golden globe picture of the year as well as drama and director
i mean its your opinion to not like the movie but the facts say it was as popular and successful as a movie can be literally every level box office, critical acclaim, home sales
its just facts
i always ask this and never get an answerIn my opinion, it had the worst sound (follies I think is what movies call it) that I have ever heard from such a high budget movie.
I think it was successful because of its use of 3D which hadn't been used like that up until that point. I think Disney had a lot riding on 3D being big, heck, back when this deal was made, Disney had Camron's company producing ESPN's 3D broadcast...a lot has changed since Avatar came out, changed since 3D TVs never took off, it is a different world today.
I am sure people will love this land, I am sure Camron wants Avatar to be his Star Wars, but not everything can be 'created' and need the public to believe or bond to a franchise for said franchise to become a mammoth like Star Wars.
i always ask this and never get an answer
if 3D was the big reason why it was so big why is it the number 1 grossing home market (DVD/Blu Ray) of all time?
anyways thanks for the reply
im about to shut down on avatar threads because i dont want anymore spoilers
now dances with wolves was a great movie....Because it was a pretty movie (as I am sure the land will be)...but I also recall when 'Dancing with the Wolves' was the most beautiful movie anyone had ever seen...but I do not think that meant anything five years later.

That's a mistake marketing people tend to make all the time. It's why we see companies painfully trying to be hip or take on a current trend and failing.
AVATAR was liked when it came out - no debate there. On an artistic level it has some holes though and the in sense that hindsight is 20/20 it has faded from memory for a lot of people because of those holes. No one being able to name a character or quote dialog showcases that.
A one-hit-wonder is a real thing. Do any of us think The Macarena is a classic song? Well by the numbers it should be a beloved classic. Most of us never want to hear it again. Things move in the zeitgeist and while you can predict trends, sometimes we have to rely on human intuition - the gut - to know when the numbers aren't showing the whole picture.
I can 0nly remember like 3 names, and I've seen that movie like ten times.Something's position in the zeitgeist isn't static.

[Excellent post redacted for space]
heres where i slightly disagree with your posts although you make great pointsBest example can be seen up the street--Shrek. Record-breaking first two movies, but less than a decade later, nowhere near the icon everyone expected when they built him a mini-land. Fievel another good example; if you weren't around in the early to mid 80s, it's hard to get across just how big those two American Tail movies were. Couldn't tell you the last time I even saw them referenced outside UOR.
Pointing out these IPs have not lived up to their potential in no way makes me a Universal "hater."
Nathan Rabin (former editor of the AV Club) has an occasional series of columns on what he calls "Forgotbusters." It's worth a read--and yes, there's one on Avatar. But this happens a lot. We're not just singling out this movie. But there is no question this movie is a Forgotbuster.
