It did well for two reasons:
>3D gimmick that we are still stuck with
>Anti-American message that the jealous international markets love

It is manifestly against the foreign and environmental policy of the US at the time.
Were you socially unaware at the time, or are you just underage?

i really don't get the hatred for 3d
nobody is making you go to a 3d screening. and it isn't "headache-inducing" or it would give everyone headaches, it's just you and your inferior eye genetics

It's a non-story related technique used to sell the film as an experience, even though it remains a show.
The fact that 3D is not integral to the fundamental substance of a story proves its a gimmick.
IMAX is also a gimmick, btw.

It also goes against Brittish 19th/early 20th century policies. Just because it goes against the World Police being positive thought, it doesn't make it explicitaly against the US, only idiots who know shit about history sees it as a direct Anti-American message. In short, you're no special snowflake and it opposes foreign interventions if usual, not just America.

The plot was very ordinary, though.

It's against the raping of the environment. It was released on Earth Day (dvd bluray), too just to hammer in the point. The hometree thing getting destroyed was supposed to be like the Twin Towers falling down. How can the world relate to that scene? Dumbass.
The movie made all the moneis in the world cause of Cameron's film history, 3D done right (word of mouth helped it a lot), and great action. T2, Aliens, and Titanic, son.
