James Cameron's Sci-fi/Fantasy Epic Avatar has beaten box office records . The film has so far made a stunning 1.84 Billion dollar worldwide intake. This comes five weeks after it's release. Cameron held the top spot for the last thirteen years with his fictional romantic tale 'Titanic' loosely based on the events of the 1912 tragedy which made little over 1.8 billion. But how did he achieve this success? There isn't anything really original about the story (see fern gully/Dances with wolves).3D has been around since the 1960's. Perhaps its the reputation his career has given him?or his pioneering the new age of cinema to its audience very tastefully by having a balance between the story/spectacle. I can see this being as big as Star Wars in pop culture. Avatar weddings anyone? His vision has captivated audiences the world over,allowing them to escape to a magical world of tremendous beauty that is Pandora. However he has managed to be so successful, Its is obvious that people have enjoyed it so much they have gone numerous times(Including myself :P). Avatar is still playing in cinemas and I assume it will be playing throughout February . If anyone has not seen this yet or a 3D movie for that matter what are you waiting for?
