His next project was ''Film/TheAbyss'', the story of an oil-rig crew that discovers otherwordly creatures. It was considered to be one of the most expensive films of its time, and required cutting-edge effects technology and filming at depths of up to 12 m. Despite the production running overbudget, it recouped its investment. This time, critical reaction was lukewarm compared to his previous highly acclaimed films. This was largely attributed to more ExecutiveMeddling and the removal of various scenes that made the film's plot difficult to follow, but Cameron has since revealed that he cut those scenes himself over the objections of the 20th Century Fox chiefs because he felt the special effects weren't up to par. Cameron subsequently re-inserted the deleted scenes in the 1993 special edition release of the movie after he felt that technology progressed sufficiently for them to be properly realised, a move that made the film more coherent and has generally improved audiences' and critics' opinion of the film in retrospect.

Cameron did not make a movie for twelve years after ''Titanic''.

However, this movie is the polarizing entry in Cameron's body of work, polarizing fans severely, which gets worse if one is a fan of the ''Terminator'' films and ''Aliens''. The result is a real BrokenBase, largely between the OldGuardVersusNewBlood of fandom - fans of his previous sci-fi action movies on the one hand, and the younger, more female audience he attracted that wasn't familiar with his previous works on the other.other[[note]]the third, unrelated camp is ''Titanic'' buffs, among whom the film is widely beloved due to its incredible accuracy[[/note]]. The film became practically a punchline for its [[{{Melodrama}} melodramatic]], sentimentalism and [[RomanticPlotTumor excessive focus on the romantic aspect of the story]], only useful as a target for parodies and jokes, but was resurrected when it was reissued in 3-D for [[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic the actual ship's]] centennial in 2012.

During the predictably torturous filming of ''Piranha Part Two'', Cameron had a nightmare about a chrome-plated torso crawling out of a fire. Based on this, he wrote the script for ''Film/TheTerminator'', lifting story material from Creator/HarlanEllison's ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' stories "Demon with a Glass Hand" and "Soldier." When no production company wanted to let him direct, Cameron and his then-wife Gale Anne Hurd (a producer who also got her start with Corman) persuaded Orion Pictures to distribute the film, with financial backing by Hemdale Film Corporation. A relatively low-budget film at $6.5 million, ''The Terminator'' became a success, grossing a total of $78 million worldwide while gathering positive reviews and providing a BreakthroughHit for the creator and a [[StarMakingRole breakout role]] for Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger as the titular murderous cyborg. Meanwhile, Ellison noticed the plagiarism and successfully sued for some money and an acknowledgment in the film's credits. Meanwhile Cameron was involved in writing a draft for ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', which was heavily modified for the film.

Cameron did not make a movie for twelve years after ''Titanic''. Instead, he created the TV series ''Series/DarkAngel'', filmed various undersea documentaries and produced the 2002 adaptation of ''Literature/{{Solaris}}''. He returned to film in 2009 with the science fiction epic ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', which has surpassed ''Titanic'' by becoming the first film to earn over ''$2'' billion at the box office. Despite some controversy over the film's political stance, not to mention a plot that is fairly easy to predict (and a BrokenBase over whether that is a good thing or not), he is currently working on sequels for ''Avatar'', in addition to messing around with, of all things, '''[[AsteroidMiners asteroid mining]]'''.

His first exposure to filmmaking came while he attended the California State University in Fullerton, from where he'd frequently visit the film archive of UCLA. After dropping out he took a variety of jobs and wrote in his spare time while learning about filmmaking from reading books and theses at the USC library. Inspired by a viewing of StarWars in 1977, he decided to enter the film industry. He began as a miniature model maker with Creator/RogerCorman's studio, and later ended up as special effects director on Creator/JohnCarpenter's ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork''. He was hired to do special effects for ''Film/PiranhaPartTwoTheSpawning'' in 1981, but ended up in the director's seat after the first director abandoned the project. After arriving at the studio, he discovered that the movie was under-financed and that a majority of the crew were Italians who couldn't speak English.
