Really? 2009 was the biggest movie year of all time, in terms of sales.
And 2010 will be bigger, and 2011 will be bigger etc etc..
Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE TRIPLING THE TICKET PRICES.

No, because it is a groundbreaking blend of computer animation and live action beyond anything previously achieved. It has extended the possibilities of what movie makers can do in the future.
i.e. Movies are now prettier to look at. You could easily impress a tard with that hyperbole.

well a good chunk of the movie removes him from the war where he pursues human-related goals (the whole story with the boy). hell he completely gets away from his role in the army towards the end
Honestly, that subplot is only about 20 minutes of the film. And he had always been a "loose cannon". He never stopped being a solider or removed himself from the army, he was just taking the egotistical lone wolf thing to its logical conclusion. It was entirely consistent with his character.
And I loved the final bomb sequence. "I'm sorry. I can't do this..."

Why wouldn't they? Even during the Great Depression, ticket sales for movies never missed a beat. People will be going to the theatre at the same rate. Might as well make some extra money out of it.

This whole "highest grossing film of all time" needs to be put to rest. I don't even think Avatar has broken into the top ten when adjusted for price and inflation.
Tickets for 3-D are like $15 a piece. Two people could go see Titanic for that price back in 1998.

Therefore, your ticket sales argument is invalid. Two things have severely inflated modern ticket sales. 1) Inflation of the actual dollar 2) The fact that you can buy the DVD for less than it costs to see the movie in the theater now-a-days.

To be fair, there is a lot more to do in 2010 than there was back in 1997-1998. But it does make me shake my head when I see movies like The Transformers ranked in the top ten for box office gross.

i mean they're fricking rebooting one of the most successful trilogies of all time about 3 years after the release of the last movie, just so they can get in 3D and a teen love stor
exactly. There will be so many dumbass movies that will latch on to this. I hate it. I think the next Spiderman is included in the D wave.

The problem with Avatar...most of the "prettiest" scenes rarely involved humans and were completely CGI, like the bird thing conquering scene....it wasn't "live action and cgi," just cgi, you know, like Up.

The difference with Avatar (from other CGI spectacles and animated films) is that the human actors who were playing the blue people were not just doing voice work.
They were playing those crazy blue people without having to sit through hours of makeup, but their facial and physical performances were captured. And the way that they produced the film considering the main characters were computer-generated was groundbreaking, and Cameron was instrumental in developing that technology.
That's why Avatar deserves acclaim, but I agree it wasn't the best picture of the year.
