It made $2 billion but I don't know anyone that saw it. Or if they did, they didn't talk about it.

    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.

    At this point I can't tell if it is some kind of trolling or are you serious

    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.

    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. Oh yeah Jimmy, such a beautiful and imaginative world. Shame it's wasted on the blandest characters and most simplistic themes imaginable.

    I watched it in 3D on mushrooms. It was one hell of an experience that way, but my god it felt like it lasted 10 hours

    I saw 3D as well and It was undisputable beautiful, but half of the movie I didn't see, I was rolling my eyes. I Just can't accept how a movie so expensive was unable to create a plot aligned with the Idea of a visual masterpiece.

    Yeah, my friend was over it as soon as he saw humans sent the same exact general who got his ass kicked the first time back to try to do the exact same thing. Obviously it can't be 100% realistic but if there was any suspension of disbelief at all it could have been so much better

    If I remember correctly, Sarge (no idea wtf his name is) had a vendetta and the folks not in his direct circle of troops were hesitant to allow his pursuit of Jake.

    Don't mistake this as some defense of perfect writing, it wasn't my favorite or anything, but I do think that was talked about.

    But iirc the general also sent soldiers after Sarge (I also don't remember his name) to kill Jake, it was not just the vendetta guy

    Yeah you don't remember his name. Action and horror movies depend almost solely on the strength of the villain. So when no one can remember even the name of the villain what does it say about the movie?

    I don't remember characters' names from movies I love either though. I'm very bad with people's names as well.

    Of course I do, I'm just saying it's very common for me to forget. I loved Scream but I can only remember Tatum. Matthew Lillard I kept calling Shaggy. I recently saw Insidious again and I remember like, Elaine? And that's it. My memory of characters' names doesn't seem to correlate very strongly with the quality of the movie.

    I pirated it and told people how not good it was.

    Well if you only watch it on a small screen that makes sense. In Imax 3D it was stunning, and very engrossing.

    So it's a great theme park ride, but a terrible movie.

    And that's a problem?

    I still enjoyed the story, but being so drawn in by the world is what certainly helped make it more enjoyable.

    Once it leaves theatres, of course that is a problem lmao. 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?

    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.
