    They’re visually impressive fun and simple stories.

    Plus they get a huge marketing budget.

    Plus Cameron has a history of solid films, Terminator, Terminator 2, Titanic, and now two going on three Avatar films.

    Also if you travel to Disney World Animal Kingdom there is a whole section dedicated to Avatar. In fact there is a ride in that park where the wait time is as long as these films. Is that ride worth it? Honestly, yeah, kinda.

    Like you said, they’re not bad. Popularity is a different thing. Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC, etc these are the popular things. Avatar? I could give you a rough idea of the plot of the last film, but I don’t really remember it. But it wasn’t bad. I’m not dying to see the upcoming film. But if it’s released and I’ve got a free evening, sure, I’ll give it a go. I know it’ll be entertaining.
