Innovative Record Setter

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2010)

The script and storyline were solid, just not original. But, I'd argue that there's almost nothing original anymore. Regardless, where James Cameron has faltered as a writer, he has always made up for with his groundbreaking effects work and directing ability, particularly for a cinematic blockbuster of this kind.
James Cameron is the biggest director of all time. I know that records are made to be broken but James Cameron is to directing what Michael Jackson was and is to pop music. Cameron is the king and his records are so outlandish that he more than doubles the grosses of any film or director of such film that competes. I don't even believe that Spielberg has ever had a 1 billion dollar grosser. His highest is probably Jurassic Park.
