New movie Avatar may sink the Titanic in popularity, expand Sci Fi, Fantasy audience

It’s been ten years since James Cameron brought the blockbuster "Titanic" to the screen. Secret copies were slipped past the Taliban via teenagers in war torn Afghanistan at great risk.So popular was the romantic escape movie. When they say it was an international best seller, it is an understatement. While the audience was largely romantic teen girls and those who love them, Avatar couldn’t be more different, and has the potential to break the past stereotypes, and draw crowds who aren’t usually sci-fi or fantasy movie goers.

Avatar shows every indication of breaking the 300 million dollar earnings of James Cameron’s "Titanic." As you’ll see from the clips, the optional 3- D special effects, the digital creatures mirroring human actors couldn’t have been imagined in what seems a short time ago when low budget Sci-Fi films mainly played at drive-ins. Unique too is the
story, one never told before. This is important, there will be no
disappointment if it fails to live up to other legendary versions, it starts a legend of it’s own. Critics are raving, Avatar seems to have something to pull the non Sci-Fi viewer and the seasoned fan of the genre in as well.
