Cameron admitted as much that this is “Dances With Wolves in Space”. But it is ironic that the native chief in Avatar actually was IN _Dances With Wolves_ (and got blown away then, too) ---

> [@Drexial](#): > > Saw this today. The 3D was very well done. Didn’t seem gimmicky. The story was very predictable but everything kept a good pace to keep me pulled in through the whole movie. Imax was sold out, Saw it in digital 3D. I will probably go see it again for Imax. Same here. I really wanna see it on IMAX ---

Why is James Cameron so baller? Because he can make a movie with a 400 million dollar budget and not worry about making the money back. Everyone knows the money will follow despite this being a ROI only a few films have generated. 232 million dollar opening weekend. It will easily exceed 400 mil at the box office, followed by action figures, DVDs etc. I want to see it in Imax 3D. ---
