This is pretty much the what I’ve heard from folks who’ve seen this movie.  Personally I won’t be wasting my money.

Speaking of money: Avatar is being ridiculously reported to as a possible contender for the highest grossing movie EVER… (current champion being Titanic)  Lets break that down a bit, shall we?

• Average cost of a movie ticket in 1997, when Titanic was released: $4.59
• Average cost of a 3D movie ticket in 2009, Avatar’s release date: $9.50
• Production cost for Titanic (again in 1997): $200Million
• Production cost for Avatar: $280Million

This is really a no-brainer.  At that ticket price, my brain  reduces that math to this: Avatar would have to cost upwards of $400million to even be on the same playing field as Titanic.

Don’t misunderstand.  I am merely comparing Avatar to Titanic because the media is, I DO love the movie but it just happens to be the current champion.

In case you were wondering, the estimated budget for Disney’s Pocahontas is $55Million.
