whenever the Eclipse would hit

Holy f***kkkk that was amazing

Bro this s*** felt like a video game or one of those 3D rides at universal studios

So which shots were not CGI? I’m thinking some of the interior of the demon ship and shots on the patrol boat

Watched it in Dolby Cinema 3D. This post is not sponsored.

Kiri is my favorite movie character this decade. She's like her mother, a natural scientist just fascinated by everything and just observing for hours to the point where people make fun of her. I can relate to that so much. I love the way Cameron decided to show what an aura feels like before a seizure by having the world around her vibrate, there are so many interesting testimonies of how people experience auras, and how people used to believe that they were divine visions. But, I can also see why she would be the manifestation of Eywa after Dr Grace's soul got assimilated into that tree in the last movie.

I don't think I would have enjoyed this movie half as much if it wasn't for Kiri's mysterious storyline, the rest of the movie was more or less predictable and personally, as a sky person myself, I think Jake should have to pay for betraying his own men and mother planet for his own family because all those people he killed had families, too. So what justifies him killing all of them to save his own, especially when Earth is dying? The human beings in Avatar traveling light years to desperately save humanity are no different from Cooper in Interstellar trying to find a viable planet for humanity. I just wish it wasn't so black-or-white sometimes painting modern humans in such a bad light and romanticizing primitive cultures bc I breathed a sigh of relief when human doctors in their avatars came to take care of Kiri's episode. I think everybody thinks they're the good guy until you put things into perspective and while James Cameron was trying to allude to that, he dropped the ball most of the time or maybe the movie would have been too long for a "both sides" argument. But that's just my little take. I liked the movie and I'm looking forward to the next one especially if James Cameron decides to explore Spider's Anakin/Tarzan story arc in the next one. Spider has so much potential to turn or bring good to both worlds. Anyway.

Objectively the humans are the evil ones no matter the perspective because even though they are searching for salvation on other planets, pandora is the navis home and they are invading and pushing the navi out of their home to take it for themselves.

still convinced i watched a different movie

I’m tryna see a BLUE P****

Same lol. It’s funny cause there was a bunch of people who went crazy for the original movie, and then time passed, and they said they never gave a s*** about it, they’re not excited for the next one. And then they went to see the sequel and they went crazy for it. I don’t think it’s necessarily the people in this thread but I feel like recency bias is coming into play. I wonder how this would hold up if it had to withstand another 13 years… I know this ain’t hitting the same at home.

why didnt you like it? I finally saw it and bro I thought it was amazing. While watching, I couldnt think of anything that made me think "this is ass"

I just didn’t feel anything for any of the characters. They didn’t have much going on. Which is crucial cause it gets me to connect with what’s happening and not feel bored.

Really? I felt like I connected with the kids tbh. Not really the older brother tho. I feel like the 3 hour run time was enough to feel for the characters to me personally

🤷‍♂️ different strokes

Neytiri’s revenge was the goat scene of movie

s*** was unreal

The whole movie they had her in the background just accepting whatever Jake was saying (begrudgingly) and it paid of soooo hard there

haven't seen it again yet but I'm dying to see that shot of her taking off on her ikran. like standing up, against that fiery background. that s*** cooked me first viewing.

This scene 💙

final confrontation was really like an 80's movie but wit visuals from 2045

that scene where neytiri and Tuk were running thru the ship corridors and the water was coming in behind them like Titanic, I cant tell if that was CGI or not. I know the avatars are CGI but man that s*** looked real af

Movie was a solid blockbuster. Definitely felt like this was the first movie in the franchise while the actual first one was like an extended prologue. Some complaints I have about the film:

• Oldest son dying was very predictable my whole fam saw it coming lol. As soon as they started developing the younger one as the trouble maker always getting them into s*** and gave him the love interest, the older son main purpose was to be the expectations the younger son couldn’t live up to and the writing was on the wall
• Movie has the Star Wars problem of making every kid a son/daughter of a previous major character. It makes sense we’re following Jake and his kids as they would still be hunted. Signourey Weaver kid & Spider make no sense and I don’t like that decision. Speaking of which Spider should be older than any of Jake’s kids since his father died before they were born and maybe he is but he didn’t act older than Jake’s oldest son
• We didn’t need the whale backstory and when he started to talk the people behind me were laughing and talking s*** about it
• The kids constantly getting captured in the 3rd act was annoying “I can’t believe I got caught again”
• Jake decision to leave his people to protect his family only to end up fighting with another tribe didn’t make much sense to me

These are just some nitpicks I had. I still liked it tho and think they did a really good job at making the kids likable and giving each a distinct personality. I look forward to where they go next although you can already see the seeds they’re planting making Spider’s father turn to a good guy
