What Did James Cameron Say About Aquaman?
When asked about his thoughts on Aquaman, Cameron was quick to criticize the unreal depiction of Ocean life, given his vast knowledge of the subject. Cameron said that while he enjoyed the film, he would never make a movie so detached from reality.
James Cameron told Entertainment Weekly, “I could have never made that film because it requires this total dreamlike disconnect from any sense of physics or reality. It exists somewhere between a Greek mythic landscape and a fairy tale landscape.”
Cameron added that he failed to resonate with Aquaman’s fairytale aspects, saying, “I’ve spent thousands of hours underwater. I’m very literal about my underwater life. It needs to look like it’s real. And while I can enjoy that film, I don’t resonate with it because it doesn’t look real.”
