"Aliens" is one of the strongest arguments for practical effects over CGI. Everything you see in that movie is real, using every trick developed over the previous 50 years. I still remember what a pulse-pounding experience it was to see that film on a big screen for the first time.
 
Interesting - albeit brief - interview with the composer in that documentary. I can see why Cameron dumped his wife - she was as big a jerk as he was/is.

She was the reason I could only get through about 25 minutes.

"brief" is because composers are a dime a dozen.
 
Now, good composers........ a quarter a dozen.

I think James Cameron peaked with Laser Cats 5. 

Don't speak ill of James Cameron!
 
I mean absolutely no one is better at stealing other people's ideas than James Cameron!
 




 
 

He stole the only original idea about dragons?

He stole everything right down to the color schemes.

Don't forget that one about the sinking boat. I suspect he stole that whole story from somewhere.

Hi,
 
I refused to see "Avatar" because of the obvious rip offs and no credit or thank you to Roger Dean. I still won't see it, and will not see anything by him EVER again.
