But it’s a pushiness that sabotages his attempts at conjuring genuine lyricism, beauty, or grace.
The show-offery is off-the-charts, with Cameron insisting that viewers be dutifully awed by his every gorgeously crafted piece of alien foliage, fantastical marine inhabitant, rain drop cascading down Na’vi skin, and ocean swell. Such high frame rate gimmickry gives everything a phony motion-smoothing quality that calls further attention to the innovative methods at play worse, Cameron doesn’t use it consistently, sometimes flip-flopping back to the standard 24fps within a given scene, which exacerbates the material’s aesthetic wonkiness.
It’s an unreality heightened not only by his use of 3D-adding depth to his out-there sights, even if it loses its impact after 30 minutes-but also by his misbegotten decision to often shoot at 48fps.
