– Cameron’s currently working at a rate of one movie every 12 or 13 years – but the likes of The Terminator and Aliens ensure his work regularly features in conversations about the best movies ever made. Even in the long gaps between releases, he tends to keep himself busy, producing passion projects like Alita: Battle Angel, or directing documentaries like Ghosts of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep., we look back through his impressive – and highly lucrative – filmography.
The action set-pieces are every bit as spectacular as you’d expect from Cameron, as he maxes out his considerable budget on firearms, vehicles , and other forms of high-octane carnage. Nonetheless, Arnold Schwarzenegger never quite convinces as an agent so secret his wife has no idea about his career in espionage. Meanwhile, the film’s tone-deaf treatment of both its female and Middle Eastern characters feels crass and outdated when watching in 2022.
Eight years before Titanic, Cameron was defying conventional Hollywood wisdom that shooting on water was a bad idea – the model work and set design still stands up today – while the film’s living water tentacle laid the CG groundwork for the T-1000 in Terminator 2. As with T2 and Aliens, The Abyss is best viewed in its extended version, which adds extra depth to the theatrical cut.When you’ve proclaimed yourself the king of the world , there’s no need to rush back behind the camera.
And, in the process, he broke the box-office record he’d previously set with Titanic. In recent years it’s become fashionable to bash Avatar for its supposedly simplistic Romeo and Juliet-meets-environmental activism plot, but it remains a masterful piece of visual storytelling. Also, Stephen Lang’s no-nonsense Colonel Quaritch is one of sci-fi’s great villains.
