James Cameron’s Rough Exit to Movie Watchers on Phone

Avatar: The Way of Water, which was released after years of waiting, continues to fascinate everyone with its magnificent visuals. That is why it is recommended to watch the film in formats such as IMAX. However, this does not mean that the movie cannot be watched from your bed at home.

James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of the Avatar series, made statements on this subject. Making statements to NPR, the filmmaker said that although he suggested watching the movie in the cinema, it could be a good experience by watching it from home. The famous director also talked about the habit of watching movies on the phone, which is now done by everyone.

“Those who watch movies on the phone miss the point”

Cameron stated that with a big television, a good sound system and the right sitting distance, everyone can have a good movie watching experience from home. However, he stated that he does not support watching Avatar on the phone.

The director, who opposed watching it on the phone, emphasized that it had nothing to do with the size of the screen. According to Cameron, watching movies on the phone isn’t quite right due to multitasking:

“When you start watching something on the phone, you miss the point. Going to a movie theater isn’t about screen size and the perfection of its system. It’s more about not doing more than one job”

“At home, there is not as much depth of emotion as in the cinema”

The famous director said, “I think that’s the point people miss out on,” he continued, adding: “When you go to the movies, you make a pact between yourself and that piece of art to give your full attention. But this doesn’t happen when you’re at home. People don’t cry as much at home as they do at the cinema; because the same depth of feeling does not occur at home”

Avatar: The Way of Water, which is still in theaters, managed to dominate the box office in a short time. So much so that the production recently grossed $1.928 billion worldwide, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home and rose to sixth place on the list of the most successful movies at the box office of all time.
