Anyone looking forward to this? Not really. Didn't really like Avatar 1. Watched it because the kids wanted to go; it was borrrrrringgg. Av2 can't be any better. And I am done marveling at how realistic animations are ... it's so commonplace now. Moreover, I am tired of the environmental nagging ... "live in nature, live with nature, nature knows best" ... whatever ... I wouldn't last 5 min before "mother" nature consumes me.

If it is the same Evil Humans vs Pacifist Aliens trope I will absolutely detest it. If it is some thing like Civil war among aliens, i will give it a try.

Ranvir Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 For how much money the first film made it left very little cultural impact apart from popularising 3D for a few years. It was just a rehash of Dances With Wolves (which was also ripped off by The Last Samurai). At nearly 40 years old I have no desire to see these silly looking blue creatures. James Cameron also appears to be going senile recently saying that testosterone is a toxin that needs to be removed from men. This is the same man who made the violent Terminator and Aliens movies.

Man you were cranky when you watched it huh. I mean, its a basic story - underdog types, designed to tap into the white guilt over the genocide unleashed in the western hemisphere. In reality everyone knows what happened to the 'brave natives at one with nature'. They got shot down thanks to superior weapons tech and that was that. The one thing I enjoyed about it - the idea of 'bonding' with an animal via nerve endings - that was kinda cool - coupled with the good graphics execution. And that chick is hot AF, that helps too. I mean, at the end of the day, its a movie, thoda popcorn khao, timepass karo, ghar jaao. Vijy and BacktoCricaddict 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every movie should be rated on Story: Spectacle Ratio. Avatar's ratio is too low. The story was bordering between being trope and routine.

Moochad Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 First Avatar was fun in theatres. Good one time watch. Will give this a go as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingravi Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 While it will be fun ride, it is disappointing that so many years of Cameron are spent on something like this project. He could have done so much more. Ranvir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijy Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 not looking forward to it. cameron IMO was genuinely a force to be reckoned with in 80s, but I find most of his 21st cen output to be bland and generic Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikhil_cric Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Avatar 1 was pretty overrated too. As somebody above said, 80's Cameron >>>> 21st century Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepler37b Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Saw the Avatar 2. One emoji is enough to indicate my reaction ... My PERSONAL rating - 1.5/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Haven’t watched it yet but from what I hearing, the positives include its visuals, which many say are among the best they have seen in a film ... I guess, if watched in IMAX or on an extra large screen, it could create a bigger impact. As for negatives, some folks have found it long. Some talked about plot holes or a lack of a story or Avatar being rehashed. This is a $300M family drama. Overall, I would expect the experience to be positive esp. since most would like the last hour of the film!

His 90s work was great, Terminator 2 and Titanic are all time classics. True Lies was a bit bland despite the big budget. He's capable of so much more but has become ultra woke lately.

zen Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Interestingly, this film is shown in 3 aspect ratios depending on the format you watch: 1.85 : 1 (3-D version) 1.90 : 1 (IMAX version) 2.39 : 1 (theatrical ratio) Also grossed $555M in 5 days!
