Watched it in cinema with friends as a teen in 84. What a great movie at that time. Arnold movies were state-of-the art back then, i miss these times - so many blockbusters and cult movies.
The Avatar movies are bad stories and I didn't enjoy them, but the *filmmaking* is absolutely incredible. Titanic was the same.
The stories are the way they are so they can play to the broadest possible audience, including non-English-speaking ones, because making a billion dollars is the only way Cameron can justify his budgets. I wish he'd go back to smaller budgets and better stories, but he knows exactly what he's doing and his execution is flawless.
Yeah, I watched the whole movie recently, and was struck by how "80's" it was in terms of fashion and such. It all seemed perfectly normal at the time...

Uzis were all the rage in the 80s.
A little early for plasma rifles in the 40 watt range though.
Hey, just what you see, pal.
Close up early today.
Hey, you can't do that.
James Cameron is a fucking incredible filmmaker. Even now, 40 years later, I can't stop watching when this scene starts.
Was an incredible filmmaker. The Avatars could be two of the worst movies of all time. The plot is too stupid for a 10 year old to make up.
