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

[Donquizote]

Heard that China still taking COVID restrictions seriously and most of them are still afraid to go out to watch movies in cinemas.

Damn, this was a recycled mess. I feel like if I had never seen the first film I'd be more forgiving but the novelty had warm off but the first 2 hours were just a retreading of the same ish. At least the film had heart and an emotional punch.

It was **** 

[Toxicity.]

This was amazing. 10/10. So visually stunning I was in awe.

[jakedavis1994]

Absolutely 10/10. Loved every minute of it.

[TheCheshireCat]

Having “spider” running around nearly naked the whole time hissing at people was such a kiii 

[X~MoviePoP]

The sea people alone is better than any movie from the last 5 years

From the numbers I've seen so far, it's smashing in Germany, France, Belgium, the Nordics, the UK, Turkey, South Korea, India, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia.

 

Doing well in the US/Canada, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, decent in Japan (for today standards, it should still make $40-50M there) the Eastern Euro region.

 

Disappointing in China (maybe $150-200M total, when even $500-600M could have been witnessed).

 

Quite a few markets (Thailand, Peru, Portugal, Netherlands, Vietnam, Central America, etc) I haven't been able to access numbers for yet. 

I honestly think the European market is going to eat this movie up. All the screenings in the cinema I saw it are packed until the end of the year. 

[futurenostalgic]

Jake sully in avatar form is so hot to me 

[Hans.]

it's doing well in most Europe and Asian countries, excluding China

I think 1b5+ overall is locked but still hope for 500m domestic and 1b5 international when it's done

[Sweetestsecret]

It keeps dropping lol ..a flop. 

 

[Robert]

The visuals were incredible and there were things I enjoyed especially seeing the water na’vi and inspiration from pacific cultures but some of the writing was so bad. I was invested throughout  though.

 

Spoiler

The constant use of ‘bro’

 

The way they forgot about the forest na’vi when the point of the invasion was to colonise Pandora

 

Them leaving really made no sense either.

 

Some of the narration was kinda annoying too

I hope it does well another to warrant another sequel.

[mystery]

Smashing really hard in most of these markets. If only China was doing better...

What kind of nonsense response? So a sequel needs to retread the same narrative beats, use the same uninspired Villian and motive... Like we're dealing with a whole alien planet, you can create any narrative.

It was so sad when Jake Sully’s son died

I haven’t seen it yet. 
 

Is this a spoiler? 

[chiliam]

The movie needs a more refreshing villain for next parts. 

They are doing a good job introduce the new generation and the water tribe. But fail to introduce a new interesting villain.

Bringing back a villain in the body of his enemy is extremely interesting imo. Especially because he’ll biologically be tied to the planet and therefore be eventually torn between his duty to humans and to the Na’vi. Just like Jake in the first movie. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to his character! But hopefully Edie gets more screen time to develop.
