[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago* (11 children) It made $2 billion but I don't know anyone that saw it. Or if they did, they didn't talk about it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 22 child comments replies: [–] deus@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) I saw it. I enjoyed it a lot. Pandora's seas look even more stunning than the forest did in the first movie. Loved meeting the Omatikaya clan and Jake's new family (Spider and Kiri too, of course). Also, Quaritch being reborn as a Na'vi made him a much scarier and more interesting antagonist than he was. Can't wait to see what Cameron has in store for us in the sequels. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) At this point I can't tell if it is some kind of trolling or are you serious permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why would I be trolling? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago Because this is the internet and that's how it works now, I suppose. permalink fedilink source parent [–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (3 children) I saw it, it was shit, specially because I remember the first. The plot of the 2 is horrible, even comparing with first that was generic. The story moves around the fact that humans want to get rid of blue ppl from a place to explore mineral resources, the leadr of the blues go away, instead of massacre the blue ppl they go for the leader in another place (???) And half of the movie is just kids doing shit to help the plot show the water, this movie was a long and slow torture. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 1simpletailer@startrek.website 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Holy shit do these movies need to edited down. Watched the latest one a few weeks ago and man was it 90 minutes of plot stretched into a 3 hour film. Felt like I was just watching James Cameron fellate himself on screen.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 years ago (2 children) Well if you only watch it on a small screen that makes sense. In Imax 3D it was stunning, and very engrossing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wombatula@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) So it's a great theme park ride, but a terrible movie. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) And that's a problem?

Where can I go see it in imax 3d? Spend half a million dollars on a home cinema? I watch most movies at home, as do most people (especially since covid), if I can't even buy tickets to the theme park then what interest is it to me? permalink fedilink source parent [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago The special effects were beautiful it was the plot that was the problem.

[–] skybreaker@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I saw it. It was entertaining permalink fedilink source parent
[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago I saw it in Imax and had a great time. I know several people who also saw it and loved it. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago I heard many people mention it. I think mostly high schoolers (I work in education)? Probably the same people who watch anything that's trending news. People I know who are actually old enough to see the original in theatres mostly seemed uninterested. permalink fedilink source parent
