Avatar 2

[Hawkeye10]

I am a bit alarmed by one review that says something to the effect that if we saw the original Avatar then we have already seen this movie.....that speaks to the weak story problem that I am worried about. Hollywood now tends to do a very poor job at their main job....the telling of stories.

I was reading that while Avatar is playing in China very few American movies have been allowed in recent years.....which makes me wonder what Hollywood got in return for selling out to the Chinese.

Did they think this through?

We are on Xmas Day, weather and theater permitting. Can't wait!

Don't go then.

The lack of JPP member reviews is noteworthy.

I just read the reviews and they’re calling it a masterpiece!

Saw it at the first showing on Thursday, IMAX 3D. It is worth the expense to see it that way (or just be an AMC A-list member ). It is more visually stunning than the first, and the strory, IMHO is vastly superior to the first film. Beautiful to look at and it has a heart. Highly Recommend it. It is a masterpiece.

I note that the Rotten Tomatoes audience score is 94 for this, the original is 82. I no longer care what their reviewers say as they are now WOKE and useless, they generally rate the politics not the art.

Saw it 2 days ago.

I could not believe the surprise ending when Pandora was destroyed by a giant asteroid! <---- just kidding.

But I did see it in 3D.

I look forward to seeing it with my family. A Christmas outing.

You'll enjoy it! It's a good family movie - a tiny bit of violence, of course but nothing too gory.

I haven't seen a good new movie in forever! Hollywood has been churning out total crap.

Avatar the Way of Water was the first movie I've seen in a theater for years.

Based upon reviews the story is the weak spot, but then it was also in the original, and I saw that four times in the theater, three of those on Imax.

Nick Adams is a moron.

I paid $10 for the matinee on Saturday. 3D and those big, recliner seats!

I saw it in 3D. Not sure about the "Imax" part. But I felt all the effects were good.
