Funny cause he is notoriously a perfectionist and very harsh on his actors, no messing around on his set!

@@Nicholas_Chen_ did you work with with him or something?

@@Nicholas_Chen_ from people who actually work with him this is false.

Playground in the good sense of the word, not in the final product like Marvel. Where the sense of risk and the unifying vision of the single artist is missing.

​@@Nicholas_Chen_​He's said to be quite playful at times... Don't think stress would help, especially during the underwater scenes.

THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!

Right?! I mean the final images of the Na’vi look amazing, but seeing her raw performance in human form is on another level 😮

That’s her spirit sister

What is this …. Tonowari … damn man the delivery was on point…had goosebumps all over the body fr

I’m the opposite. Kate Winslet was not a good choice for this character and that scene made me groan.

100% this. Have seen it twice now and I got choked up noth times. The whole damn movie his son had been yearning to be noticed and well, *seen*.. Beautiful moment.

Ye only took his other son dieing and a near death experience for him to actually notice his son

@@chrisbreal5109 Good point 😂

@@chrisbreal5109 I've seen the movie three times now but be careful with the spoilers lol, I bet some people still haven't seen it yet.

especially after his devastating "you've done enough" line. That hit like a truck.

Arguably one of the first female roles who kicked ass and lead the way for female actions starts Her role as Ripley in Aliens set the bar Another actress who sticks out is Linda Hamilton in both T1 and T2...

@@tied78wait, Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t the first female action lead?

@@J.b.2.9.4.7. Of course not silly, all those other ones were just hoaxes perpetuated by the patriarchy of lizard-men. Thank you Jennifer Lawrence for being the first female ever to movie!

@@J.b.2.9.4.7. 😂😂😂

​@@tied78 Interestingly all Cameron's movies.

especially the kids. It's one thing to act. In a big budget film. In such in a busy work environment. Then underwater. Wearing all this gear. Pretending to see things that aren't there. They're doing things most people twice their age have never done. For more than 5 years at this point...and then some.

That’s already clear after this He would be in the conversation of the singular greatest to ever do it

I’m good with seeing in Real D 3D

I saw it in Real 3D time for Imax 3D

I saw it in 3d two times and in 2d one time just because I wanted to see the vibrant colours … definitely a masterpiece

Which was better. IMAX 3D or realD 3D???

Winner of Best Visual Effects, Oscars 2023

Best Visual Effects is already a lock. The rest are a bit unsure because of some really technically well made films this year.

@Rene Mothes Maverick is amazing…might rank it ahead of Avatar 0.0

Top gun maverick and this film is a breath of fresh air where pure efforts are put into the making, away from those generic Marvel cartoons

The problem at this point is that it is still not completely transparent to anyone trying to judge a digital performance, how much is captured by the cameras on set and how much tweaking an animator has to do after the fact. Even if the only thing the animator does is correcting what the digital model does by looking at the recorded face of the actor. But is this really all they do? Or do they change a muscle here and there and adjust a facial expression? The moment that happens you can't give the award to just the actor, because what you see on screen is a collaboration between what the actor played and what the animator did with it afterwards. I'd say since the Planet of the Apes trilogy we are here for about 85% to 90% of performance captured live without additional tweaks, but that is just a guess. No one knows for sure. And until that is not clear, you can't give an actor an award for a digital character.

@@Quotenwagnerianer True enough. Considering how collaborative filmmaking is in general, there's always some kind of tweak being made whether by editors or the director(s) to maximize the effect of a performance either in live action or another medium. Hopefully, we'll see some kind of marriage in that recognition between the fx artists and performers in the future. Either way, it's insane just how adept these technologies and the people behind them (and in front) are at extracting and conveying immersive performances

I don't expect anything from the Oscars, you go and watch what is worth for you to see.

A lot of this was shot not long after the 1st movie. As in the girl that was playing their youngest is 13 now and the one playing their 16/17 year old son is 21/22 now

@@KomaedasOneTrueHope Well they started shooting in 2017 which is closer to 2022 now than when the first movie was released in 2009. I personally wouldn't say "not long after" when there's been a gap of 8 years.

@@KomaedasOneTrueHope it was definitely shot almost 10 years apart. Filming with actors happened in 2007 for Avatar 1. It was released in 2009 because post production was insane. Avatar 2 filming happened in 2017-2018 if I'm not mistaken. There's definitely a gap of 10 years. They took good care of themselves.

yeah, its kind of comical that other movies are going to go up against it for the VFX oscar. they aint winning now lmao

me tooooooooooooooooooooooooo~~

I have not seen the movie in the original language version yet. In the one I saw she was dubbed by two actresses. One by the VA that always voices her roles for when she shows up in her human form. And a young Teenage VA for her main role. How did they solve that in the original? Does she do her own voice? Did they use a machine learning algorithm to make her own voice sound young, like they did with Mark Hamill in "The Mandalorian" and James Earl Jones in "Obi-Wan"?

@@Quotenwagnerianer She portrayed both physical and voice acting

@@giodhuha6771 Thank you!
