James Cameron says watching Avatar on phone is bad, but not because of screen size #IndiaNEWS #Entertainment
Los Angeles: Award-winning filmmaker James Camerons Avatar franchise was made for viewing in premium large format theatres such as IMAX 3D and Dolby Cinema, but that doesnt mean watching the movies at home is a bad idea.
The Oscar-winning director recently spoke about different viewing methods for Avatar, and he said a good experience can still be achieved at home, reports Variety.
If you watch Way of Water at home on a reasonably large flat screen TV with a decent sound system and you sit close enough and that way across the room, youre going to have a good experience, Cameron said.
Watching Avatar on your phone is where Cameron draws a line, but it has nothing to do with the size of the screen.
As the director said, When you start looking at something on a phone, youre sort of missing the point. Going to a movie theatre is less about the size of the screen and the perfection of the sound system. And its more about a decision to not multitask.
I think thats the critical part that people are missing, the director continued.
Youre making a deal between yourself and a piece of art to give it your full attention. And you dont when youre at home. People dont cry as much when they watch a movie at home as they will in a movie theatre. You dont have the depth of emotion.
Cameron expressed a similar opinion earlier this month during an interview with Variety on the Golden Globes red carpet.
When we go to the movies we make a deal with ourselves to have undivided attention for a couple of hours, he said. Its about immersing yourselfchoosing to commit to that ahead of time.
Avatar: The Way of Water just surpassed Spider Man: No Way Home at the worldwide box office to become the sixth-biggest film in history with .92 billion. Its all but certain The Way of Water will cross the billion mark. Cameron celebrated the box office milestone by telling Variety that the Avatar sequels success is proof that movie theatres still matter.
Were going back to theatres around the world, Cameron said. Theyre even going back to theatres in China where theyre having this big COVID surge. Were saying as a society, We need this! We need to go to theatres. Enough with the streaming already! Im tired of sitting on my ass.
Avatar: The Way of Water is now playing in theatres nationwide.
