In the future, we have the technology to replicate a fully functioning biological 'avatar', yet we can't clone or engineer a few nerve cells that could allow for say....soldiers to walk again ?

So, routine nerve cell regeneration for a soldier injured in the line of duty = too pricey.
Complete bio genetic growth of an alien life form which will then be used to pair w/ the specific DNA of a 'driver' = worth while expense.

It didn't open big in America.
Opening weekend for A2 last year was $134,100,226
Opening weekend for A1 in 2009 was $77,025,481. Adjusted for inflation, it made $116,369,917.
A3 only made $88 Million on opening weekend.

Ultimately, it’s fine. Yet, considering its cinematic history, fine is never good enough.

Why would he care?
He's been doing his damnedest to destroy Hollywood for the last 20 years himself.
Fuck James Cameron.
