Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8555612" data-attributes="member: 4348">Added a PPS to my post.Culturally, almost none of the movies on the list had the impact Avatar did, either in popularizing the Sci-Fi genre, or in the making of films in general (and Sci-fi films in particular have taken a LOT of cues from it, most of those on the list would not exist in the state they were released in without the influence of Avatar's cinematographic influence).People like to say...hey...this is real sci-fi, or this is not...putting down the popular for the unpopular.  What they don't see is the broader picture of the ACTUAL IMPACT the movie had.  For example, the movie HER has had almost NO impact on movie making, culture, or even science fiction (at least as of present).  It may have a somewhat interesting storyline, but it's actual impact and influence is almost NIL.  Compared to other movies, including it on a list of the 25 best...is questionable at best...Avatar had impact on how movies were made in general, which influence the cinematagraphy and HOW Science Fiction movies were shot.  You wouldn't have Gravity as it is, or Guardians of the Galaxy (that's on the list for sci-fi films...really?) with the same shots or editing if there was no Avatar previously.  The impact it had on the movie world was actually HUGE (it was almost the entire reason the movie industry went head over heels for 3d for almost a decade...which finally is dying...thank goodness as I hated the trend...which also influenced how movies were shot in regards to that 3d which also influenced other movies that were NOT shot in the same way).</blockquote>
