I’d been looking forward to Cameron finally putting the Titanic behind him and doing some SF again, then I heard the story for this one and just about puked. It’s so sad when good directors go bad.
Artists produce their best work when they are hungry, have to deal with consequences, and actually relate to normal people. Once they really make it, that all ends and it becomes all about them and the fantasy world of fame they are free to inhabit.
Am I the only one who thought Titanic was a wonderful film? Cameron is an action director first and it put his talents to great use.
