James Cameron has written and directed many great films, he was the executive producer on the popular film 'Point Break' and his screen play was used to make the film 'Strange Days'. I believe an incredible feat he made was the Aliens film which was a sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien. Usually when another director makes a sequel to someone else's film it doesn't live up to it's predeccessor but he made a film on a par with the original if not better. Terminator 2: Judgement day was a film just as good as the original and in my opinion a better film than the original. Obviously both films are excellent in their own right. It is difficult to judge these films as the first terminator film had a much smaller budget than the sequel.
He is currently working on a new film called 'Avatar' which involves communication with aliens on another planet. The film follows the story a man brought to a distant planet and sees it has an alternate home before the peace is broken and a battle for survival ensues. James Cameron had the idea for this film in the early nineties but decided to wait till the technology was advanced enough. A big percentage of the film is said to be computer generated.
