MikeT14 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 By the way, I retract my previous statements. Seeing this in a theater last night, it LOOKED very good. Judging from a computer screen was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was to reintroduce people to Pandora and show off the incredible CGI. The first film's teaser was the same thing. Story is up in the air. The one thing I'm not excited about is Quaritch returning. He wasn't a bad villain, but he wasn't good enough to break the rules of the world and bring him back to life when he clearly died. I hope there's some kind of twist or amazing reasoning I can't think of involved or his return will be super underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt a big part of the original how that everyone who dies there becomes one with the planet, or at least the Aiwa (sp?)? Sigourney Weaver is returning as well, so if she can be brought back in some fashion, you figure he can to. Alot of stuff in the first one was really cheesy, so it wouldnt surprise me if the way they bring him back is really dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just re-watched Avatar a few weeks ago and this looks a good bit better. The biggest advancements were mostly for the underwater filming. I expect a huge, amazing experience watching those scenes. Will make Aquaman look like a joke. Don’t make fun of Aquaman! It was Cameron’s best work 😆 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The problem with the first one was that it was Dancing with Wolves essentially. And unlike a lot of Cameron’s previous movies, there wasn’t enough creativity used to overcome the feeling that we’ve seen this before.

That's why I'm glad he brought on a writing team to help him with the sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neytiri told Jake at some point that all energy is borrowed and beings give it back when they die. I'd hate to see them stretch that line of dialogue into immediate reincarnation for Quaritch. True. I've seen reports that she's playing a new character, so I hope she's simply a representation of Eywa to Jake or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) The first one had good visuals but was boring as hell. I really hope they work on the story and characters this time Edited May 13, 2022 by Malfatron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
