Speaking with io9, Cameron said, “I’ll have some time to write and to consider my next projects and the order in which I do them and so on once we’re done with the marketing on this in a month or so. I’ve got a stack of notes this thick [holds fingers about three inches apart], which is how I start all my scripts, on what I want to do with a new Terminator film. I’m going to pour myself into that as a writer. It’s difficult. I have to tell you. Science fiction has caught up and is actually overwhelming us at this point. We’re living in a science fiction world, and we’re literally having to deal with problems that in the past only existed in science fiction books and movies. Now we’re living it for real. I’ll never be as prescient as I was back in 1984 of imagining this one because I don’t think anybody knows what’s going to be happening a year or two years from now. But I at least want to future-proof myself by being a couple years out.“

It went to trash because he wasn't involved. I will definitely see this movie.

James Cameron was the producer of Dark Fate, and did the writing. He didn't direct, but it was still his movie.

And his Avatar movies are just Ferngully, which is just Dances With Wolves, which are all retellings of Lawrence of Arabia. I don't know why they're so successful when Avatar is nowhere near as good as Lawrence of Arabia.

Personally I think the CGI of Lawrence is pretty meh.
