I know some have complained about the first movie Avatar, similar to the story like Dances With Wolves, but I really enjoyed the movie, and James Cameron pushing the technology. I'm curious to see the next installment of Avatar, since the first one came out in 2009.

Filming on Avatar 2 and 3 began last summer, and the next movie is set for release in December 2020.
The next step in 3D will be making it possible to watch 3D movies without the use of glasses - something that Cameron has talked about enthusiastically in the past. For now, however, he is collaborating with Dolby Cinemas to try and solve the problem of 3D movies looking too dark. "Normally, you’re looking at about three foot-lamberts," Cameron explained, referring to a unit measurement for the amount of light reflected off a movie screen.
