Avatar (2009)

James Cameron: Man of Tomorrow, Part 9

In this, our final episode of our James Cameron series, we're taking a look at his groundbreaking, record-busting 3D science fiction epic, AVATAR!

In the years between TITANIC and AVATAR, Cameron helped to develop a new form of 3D technology, alongside new performance capture techniques that allowed him to create images that no filmmaker had been able to achieve before.

And then, when AVATAR was released in 2009, it quickly became the highest grossing movie of all time, and remains so to this day. In this episode, we'll track the film's progression from its earliest inception (this story begins in the 1970s!) all the way through the film's release, and how its reputation has evolved in the years since.
