What i meant was inspiring for exploration, deep sea, the space and so on.

The stories in his movie is often very mainstream, but look at the panorama scenes he makes. He really cares about impressive nature and unknown worlds. I really enjoyed Sanctum because of this, these deep caves are really impressive. The story is just something that makes is accessible for the masses. No theater would show a nature documentation and he wouldn't get the funds to make them.



Are you saying that what Cameron really wanted to do is documentaries?

also: "No theater would show a nature documentation" Remember Earth?


Maybe, probably both, but his approach to create popular movies around is the most intelligent way.

Earth was a failure and if something similar with that budget will be made soon is questionable.

Budget: €30,000,000 (estimated)

Gross: $32,001,863

Cameron can do anything he want's with any budget since decades and earned himself a fortune to do things on his own.

March of the penguins?
