Despite having a reputation as one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made, 2001: A Space Odysseydoesn't have a fan in James Cameron. Few filmmakers have had as big an impact on sci-fi movies as we know them today as James Cameron. His dedication to his craft sets him apart from his contemporaries, which makes him an influential figure working in the genre. Breaking movie records since 1984, James Cameron has quite literally changed the face of cinema multiple times throughout his illustrious career. These statistics become even more impressive when one considers that there are less than a dozen movies directed by James Cameron.
