movie Avatar: The Way of Water | Billions: 2 | Oscar Noms: 4 | Best Picture Noms: 1

[MAXIMO]

The best visual experience ever, especially the water simulation, VFX have finally nailed it. 

The story was way better than the film, the family dinamic was well executed, you care about the characters, the acting is excellent, Sam Worthington serves the best acting of his career in this series, I don't know if its the VFX enhaced his and the rest of the cast's acting, but it's great, you forget it's CGI. 

Definitely an experience everyone must seen in the biggest screen possible and in 3D (the underwater sequences are just mindblowing ).  Cameron never fails.

I absolutely loved it. Felt the same way after watching the first. And I want to see it in the theater again!

 

I am perturbed by some folks complaining about Avatar’s plot. The plot is good. Why are they acting like it’s supposed to be some try hard @ss Christopher Nolan ish, when they are the same ones praising the mediocrity of Marvel Universe.

If it fails to outgross No Way Home, even with China I—

I think as long as it makes over a billion dollar, then it should be okay. A profit will be made. 

[Space&Time]

The things that worry me is how much money it has to make to break even. I want Avatar 3,4, and 5. Fingers crossed for 2 billion. I think opening weekend will be respectable, but hoping it has a long game via word of mouth.

What a mediocre movie outside of the visuals

 

Literally took every action movie cliche, rolled into one, tacked pretty visuals on top and expected it to be good. At least the first one had the novelty factor, this was just meh. 
 

I wonder what pt 3 will be like as it’s just 2 years away and won’t have enough time to develop “better” graphics like between the first one and this one

[MAXIMO]

It should be a trilogy, but the story seems that can give two more movies at most, three are way too much. Even If it underperforms or not, ending the series at three is the best decision, the movie was taking its time serving National Geographic for some scenes, but the visuals are just really impressive, the next movie should go straight to the point.

My cousin made me go see this the other day, I knew it was going to be mental torture and beyond boring with a A.I written "story" and "amazing visuals" that in reality look 10 years dated and mean nothing when presented with zero aesthetic point of view but what I did not except what being able to fall asleep midway thru! this made it 10x more enjoyable as I didn't realize how much I needed a nap and was so scared at the 3 hour torture I've allowed myself to enter, I woke up around the end when

the son dies and the mother lets out her usual scream, but fell right back asleep, till a few mins right before the end, to find my cousin CRYING, gosh I wish I would have made her go see the killer sants instead

[cruelhprince]

SO GOOD OMG

the visualsssss though

[squishy]

The creative worldbuilding makes up for any deficiencies with the plot, imo. The vibe is everything.

 

This slayed...

up until the credit song.

So I just got home from watching it… As a person who listed the original Avatar as their favorite movie for years, I have to say this one was borderline cringe. I don’t even know where to start - whether it be that white boy with dreads running around acting like an animal or the fact this movie, 50x more so than the first one, is arguably as appropriation as it can get with black tribal culture.  Jesus Christ this was hard to watch. 

[TheMusicProphet]

Oh MA GAWD! 10s 10s 10s across the board.

What's black tribal culture?

Did yall pick up on the little gay flirt when the sullys first arrived to the sea peoples place and the oldest son I think had a 2 sec cute moment with one of the sea boys.

The culture of African tribes. Don’t be stupid. Or are you going to say this isn’t appropriating African tribes, but rather native/Indigenous ones instead as an “argument”?

Theres many tribes in this world that do not reflect only "black tribal culture" avatar is based on natives, indigenous communities (mexican, middle eastern, ect.). Plz dont start this bull, either enjoy the movie or move on.

 

I can tell you're being very extra. "Hard to watch"...plz cut the crap

Both films draw from indigenous people/cultures around the world. That's literally the point. You have clearly missed a lot about what these films have to say.

 

This film in particular draws most heavily from Pacific cultures, not African.

I could care less what POC group it appropriates, that doesn’t help your argument. The entire cast imitating those “indigenous” individuals are ******* white  there was not ONE POC in that entire 3.5 hour movie. Yikes.

And if u think this movie is "racist" or the castings are "racist" then youve lost your mind.
