Avatar is Now the Highest-Grossing Film of All Time



Did you already watch Avatar movie online? Well if not yet, then better watch it now. And after almost a month in theaters, Avatar is finally beat the Titanic for becoming the new highest grossing film of all time. It was 1997 when Titanic set the record of being the top earning film of 1997. And last January 25, 2010, Avatar has reached $1,858,866,889 while Titanic earned $1,843,201,268 total.

A great achievement for James Cameron, because two of his greatest film are the best movie of all time. No doubt that James made a very good movie, and that is why people liked his film a lot and because of that it encourages James  to do more great movies.

The domestic (U.S. and Canada) total now stands at $554,981,691, which still trails Titanic's $600,788,188, but probably not for long. Internationally (outside of US and Canada), the film has reached $1,303,885,198 compared to Titanic's $1,242,413,080.

"We are deeply gratified that so many millions of people around the globe have embraced 'Avatar,'" said Fox in a statement. "Its success results from the efforts of literally thousands of people, who, over the course of several years, worked to bring James Cameron's vision of Pandora to life. The themes of protecting the environment, respecting life, and yearning for a peaceful planet have united moviegoers worldwide. We're very proud of, and grateful to, James Cameron, his amazing and dedicated team, and all the many people at Fox, who worked so long and so hard to achieve this milestone."

James Cameron Wanted to Have an Avatar Part Two

After the ward winning movie by James Cameron, the rumor set everybody's ears about the Avatar Sequel. Yes guys! There will be a part two of Avatar.

Some people said that the next Avatar movie will put James Cameron to the top best director of the Hollywood industry.

"I've had a storyline in mind from the start - there are even scenes in 'Avatar' that I kept in because they lead to the sequel," Cameron said.

"It just makes sense to think of it as a two or three film arc, in terms of the business plan. The CG plants and trees and creatures and the musculo-skeletal rigging of the main characters — that all takes an enormous amount of time to create. It'd be a waste not to use it again,"  he added.

I can't wait to watch Avatar Sequel, even though it is not yet been settled, I'm sure, people will wait to see the next Avatar movie.

Watch Avatar Movie Online- Review, Trailer and Photos

The Avatar is an adaptation film from the TV series "Avatar the Last Airbender". This movie produced almost 400 Million dollar just to give the exact 3D effects. I think everyone, not only me, will watch Avatar movie online because this is a most awaited movie by a great director, James Cameron, who also directed the "Titanic."


The story is about a protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former Marine who was wounded in combat on Earth and paralyzed from the waist down. He is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk again. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying.



Pandora is also home to the Navi, a sentient humanoid race that is physically stronger than humans, although considered primitive. Standing three meters tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Navi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Navi unleash formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this experiment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Navi hybrids known as "Avatars" .



The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human "driver" through a technology that links the driver's mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can walk . He is sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers who will follow, and encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers.

 
He also meets a young Navi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched only by her ferocity in battle. Over time, Jake integrates himself into Neytiri's clan, and begins to fall in love with her. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Navi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.



This is a nice movie to watch on December 18, 2009. I can't wait to watch Avatar movie online because I'm fan of James Cameron and I like the way he directed a movie, and this Avatar is a movie that everyone shouldn't miss.
