What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made? - Divisions by zero

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/2811405 [https://lemmy.ml/post/2811405] > "We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "

Avatar.

Avatar at least had the excuse of existing to push 3D and mo-cap technology.

Not sure about Avatars 2-5…

There’s five of them???
There's like three or four already out. Or something. Whatever the actual number is, I'm always amazed.
Only two out so far. The third is arriving in December.

Lmao see? I had no idea even one sequel was out

Movie magic at it's finest

The third is arriving in December.

There are 2 out already, Cameron is making till 5 right now.
2 completed and released with 3 more in the pipeline.
Same thing for the sequels. Here’s an article about it. Maybe it’s the passage of time, but I’d say 2 is much more visually stunning than 1
Yeah, I watched it in a 3d cinema at the time and it was a great experience. Not the pocahontas story, but the cinematics. Avatar 2 was just shit. It’s like they’re pretending to be a real scifi franchise by building an entire world.
Avatar was always about being a visual feast, which Avatar 2 definitely succeeded in IMO. I like them for what they are, great popcorn flicks.
There are sequels???

Avatar 2 came out in '22. Same basic plot, but the water effects are stunning.

3 is completed and will be out for Christmas. 4 and 5 are in the pipeline.

(All the trailers on YouTube so far are AI Bullshit, be warned).

Avatar 4 and 5:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_4

“it is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029.[8][9] A sequel, Avatar 5, is in development and is expected to be released on December 19, 2031.”

You mean, “Dances with Smurfs”?
It’s clearly ripping off Pocahontas, not Dances With Wolves.
i love that the answer to “which one?” is “doesn’t matter, they suuuuuuck”
At first I thought you meant the first Airbender movie. Which also fits the criteria here.
This but nickelodeons avatar live action remakes.
I know it’s just rehash Pocahontas but I enjoyed it. Suspend all that crap for a second and just enjoyed it
I mean yeah it was a shit film but it obviously had “business” being made because it was the highest grossing film ever for a while. I think it was the start of Holywood going out their way to crack the Chinese market (or at least the first time they did it successfully).
I love the first movie, everything after is just more of the same. It feels uninspired.
