Avatar, the movie that was once again the highest grossing in history in 2021, returned to theaters. Directed and written by James Cameron, it hit theaters in 4K. “It has a higher frame rate and HDR technology,” says the production information about the 2D and 3D versions that would have a post-credits scene.
The revival of the story about the planet Pandora had its debut in 2009. “I wanted to create a kind of adventure that felt familiar, but in an unfamiliar setting, setting the classic tale of an outsider who arrives in a new place and is confronted with a new culture in a alien planet,” he commented. Cameron.
In the movie, Pandora’s atmosphere is toxic, and that’s why they create the Avatar Program., which links the mind of human beings to a remotely controlled biological organism that can survive in that atmosphere. “I had dreamed of creating a movie like this, set in another world of enormous danger and beauty, ever since I was a kid reading sensational sci-fi novels and comic books galore and drawing creatures and aliens during math class, hiding behind from my textbook. With Avatar I finally had the chance to do it.”
The filmmaker of films like Titanic and Terminator wanted to produce such a film since 1998, but “there were no means to make his vision a reality,” says the production. With its premiere, it not only had a good response from the public but also from the critics. The film earned nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. He won three statuettes for photography and visual effects.
Cameron had ruled out the use of makeup and opted to use a new system: “image-based performance capture”. He used a camera attached to the actors to accurately film their gestures. This was the work with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña or Sigourney Weaver. “Saldaña trained for months to create a physical reality that matched her character. She knew it wasn’t just voice acting for a typical animated movie, but a ‘full acting’.”
In 2019, the director said he felt hopeful when avengers It was the highest grossing film in history. “It gives me a lot of hope, it’s demonstrable proof that people will continue to go to theaters.” But after the reopening of theaters, the film broke its own record.
