Watching a James Cameron movie is like watching someone draw a perfect circle. Circles have been around for billions of years and these days are not exactly artistically groundbreaking or interesting on an aesthetic level but the fact that some people can just whip a perfect one up freehand is a marvel in and of itself.
Makes sense to me. I don't remember jack about Titanic, but I immensely enjoyed Avatar despite how generic it was. I was also impressed Michelle Rodriguez didn't die in it. She's always dying when I see her.
