Actually, I'd say it's EXACTLY like every James Cameron sci-fi film. 3 groups of people (scientists, corporates, and military) are working together toward something destructive (whether realizing it or not). And just like all his other films, scientists are always noble and rational, the corporates are evil, and the military really loves to kill things without any real motive behind it.

In Aliens, Ripley the scientist is always right, I'm not sure why she SHOULD be right considering all she did was survive an attack against one. That has SOME insight, but by no means makes you the one who should call all the shots. Weyland-Yutani is the evil corporation willing to sacrifice humans for a bio-weapons division. And the military in the movie are a bunch of cliche-slingin' mofos who don't seem particularly bright.

In Terminator 2, the destructive goal ends up being Skynet, and unwillingly will doom mankind. Again, the scientists design it for a corporation with military contracts. And although the military and corporations aren't made prominant in the movie, once again we have the only scientist become a noble hero who just wanted to help people before the EVIL corporation and military twisted it into something that will kill billions. And ofcourse, this scientist bravely sacrifices his life to save the future.

And in The Abyss, the scientists just want to make peace with the poor widdle water people, but the CRAZY military guys just want to nuke it. It's been a long time since I've seen The Abyss, so I can't recall any particular company, but it wouldn't surprise me there was one.

James Cameron and his boner for scientists, his disdain for corporations, and his looking-down on the military have been used over and over throughout the years. Sure he's changed the names and backgrounds of the films, but the progression is still the same. He's basically been pulling a Legend of Zelda, remixing all the details but keeping the same damn story progression for 20 years.

Although I did enjoy Avatar, as well as his previous films. I'm just saying the main gripe I have was his recycling method of handling the characters and story progression.

And I think you're taking this "go through all my pictures" thing too seriously, I was simply bored and you were checking out mine. So I thought to myself, What the heck? and did it myself. You're a quick one to judge and a quick one to insults. I wonder who is actually the one with the personality of the pavement?

Not really, it does not excuse that he does so on every movie he has ever directed which is my point in the entire text.

det är hans "thäng" ju.. men hade totalälskat en alien-referens i nästa avatar rulle... och kanske lite djupare karaktärsutveckling.. iaf mer än att sortera alla efter "good guy" .. "bad guy" genom hela jävla rullen... Men nästa film skulle enligt rykten vara lite mer djupgående på själva planeten.. mer än bara en jävla skog... så man kan ju hoppas på nått! de har iaf pengar att göra något av det!
