Cameron is one of those filmmakers who has always advocated for theatrical experience amid the surge of streaming platforms. He also doesn’t want anyone to watch his films on phones.

In an interview with NPR, the Academy Award-winning director said that one can enjoy ‘Avatar: The Way of Water‘ at home. “If you watch ‘Way of Water’ at home on a reasonably large flat screen TV with a decent sound system and you sit close enough and that way across the room, you’re going to have a good experience,” he said.

However, he doesn’t want people to watch the film on a phone because they are “sort of missing the point.” He said that going to the theatre has nothing to do with the screen size or audio quality but “it’s more about a decision to not multitask.”

At the Golden Globes red carpet, the ‘Titanic‘ director said that everyone is going back to the theatres. “We need this! We need to go to theaters.’ Enough with the streaming already! I’m tired of sitting on my ass,” he said.

Talking about ‘Avatar 3‘, Cameron has said that he will be showing the darker side of the Na’vi people in it. So far, we have seen two different clans in Pandora. They are the forest-dwelling Omaticaya and the water-dwelling Metkayina.

In the third installment, a third clan will be introduced as Cameron wanted to show “the Na’vi from another angle” and not just their good side
