I think the first movie had a better-structured story, but the character dynamics were a lot more interesting in the sequel.
Well, this is really the first half of a movie as it was so big they split it into two films. Avatar 3 is the continuation and conclusion of this movie so we will see how it compares when that film is released.
The original film was tighter and simpler. And none of the fight scenes in this film can top the original Ikran war for the Tree of Souls... or Jake vs Quaritch in his AMP suit. But I can totally respect what Cameron is trying to accomplish. Hes trying to make his own Lord of The Rings saga using his pioneering skills with 3D art direction, set design and cinematography
I kinda thought this movie was far more interesting in terms of storyline. The first one is an absolute masterpiece but this one - in terms of plot, storyline, character depth and development as well as the pure cgi ecstasy - just works perfectly for me
But most of my family agree the first was better so 🤷🏽♀️ lol
What I love about Quaritch in this film is that he’s literally a different person. Yes he has the memories but he has new thoughts and feelings towards everything. Human Quaritch wouldn’t have hesitated to kill the Navi. And kill his son for the sake of getting back at Jake. This Quaritch is now connected to Eywa, he feels her through the animals. While human Quaritch laughed it off and didn’t believe in it. I cant wait to see how his character develops from here.
it doesn't change the fact that this avatar Quaritch is still ruthless and and would do anything to get his revenge on Jake no matter how many Navis he hurts or kills, he would even risk the lives of an entire Navi clan to get his revenge on Jake. Quaritch really hasn't changed much at all, he is still the same old Quaritch as he was before. Sure he didn't want Neytiri to kill Spider, but that's only because he is his son. If Spider was just some random kid that was unrelated to Quaritch, then this avatar Quaritch would not have hesitated to kill Spider. Just because this Quaritch is connected to Ewya, it doesn't change his personality, he's still wiling to kill other Navis and animals of Pandora just to get what he wants. Quaritch is still very much the same person, avatar or not.
@@iamlinda100 No, I think you're slightly wrong. I've seen a more humane Na'vi Quaritch than human Quaritch. Though, the idea to get back to Jake is still strong, he's tuning down his way through it (notice his body reaction and the way he talks)... It's ironic how Quaritch became more humane in Na'vi form compared to his human form which is clearly brutal.
@@ShefortheStre what part of avatar Quaritch was he "humane"? He's still ruthless, still selfishly willing to hurt and kill as many Navis and the animals he can just to get what he wants. The only time I ever saw him having any shred of humanity was when he didn't want Neytiri to kill Spider, but like I said that's only because Spider is his son, if Spider wasn't his son then he would not have cared about Spider at all, and would have killed him if he had the chance. avatar Quaritch is still ruthless and brutal and would do anything to get his revenge on Jake, that's all he really cares about, besides Spider.
@@iamlinda100 What I mean Ma'am is he turns down a little bit his brutal ways in getting back to Jake.. He could have killed those Metkayena people but he decides to just burn their homes down, that's just one example...
And don't get wrong about Na'vi Quaritch being similar to Human Quaritch, they just have the same memories, not soul, unlike Jake... Na'vi Quaritch reacts and deliver himself differently compared to Human Quaritch.
He's still brutal and ruthless yet he's turning it down a little bit... I'm not saying he's not ruthless or brutal
@@ShefortheStre well from how I see it he is no different to human Quaritch, and how is destroying the home of the Metkayena clan somehow any "less" brutal? And don't forget during the battle Quaritch also killed many Navis from the Netkayena clan, proving he is still willing to kill the Navis and destroy their homes just to get what he wants, proving my point. He really has not changed much at all, he is still the same old Quaritch as he was before when he was a human. Except now he has a son, whom he has grew to care about. But other than Spider, the only other thing or person he cares about is himself and his petty revenge on Jake.
One of the things I love about this movie is that it gave Sigourney Weaver the opportunity to play a teenager. It made me realize that motion capture and CGI can be used to combat ageism in Hollywood.
except you can tell its an old woman at all times and the voice doesnt help either
@@SebHighDef No, you can't.
@@ZukoHalliwell maybe you couldnt, but its obviously an old ladys face on a cg alien kids body
@@SebHighDef Maybe, but she acts so much like a teenager that you barely notice.
@SebHighDef I mean, voices don't really mean anything. A lot of people have oddly mature voices, you just can't detach the voice from the mental image of Sigourney Weaver in your head. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
I see the relationship between Spider and Kiri representing a symbiosis between Eywa and humanity. That whole detail that Na'vi can breathe Earth air way better than vice-versa maybe a sign that Eywa is adapting a long-term strategy. And I'm in the camp that Spider remains human though the RDA, having the resources, would bribe him with an Avatar.
You might just be right about that because they did have to scan his brain to torture him so that might use that to make him an avatar
Besides I think he's going to be able to breath without the exopack in the next movie. Maybe he'll be a hybrid u know human with Navi attributes
I’m indigenous and I love this franchise so much. I will *fight* anyone who tries to change my opinion uwu 💙
The popular theory among fans is that Eywa is Kiri's "father". So, you're probably right about the immaculate conception.
Although, I'm more interested in finding out who Spider's mother was, and why she would willingly sleep with… *_him._*
We do know who Spiders mother is. Her name was Paz Socorro, she worked for the RDA and was killed during the assault on the Tree of Souls(Avatar 1). We know this from the Comic "Avatar:The High Ground", which basically covers that 1 year timeskip. Because that was originally part of the movie, but it just got too much(and they didn't want to stretch it out even more after 2 was already broken up into 2 and 3)
eywa is called the great mother, interesting thought that she could’ve “fathered” a child 🤔
That’s why it’s called an maculate conception
@@carolsolomon6916 immaculate*
I hope that Lo'ak enjoys the company of his brothers Spider and Payakan after Neteyam gave his life to save them 😂 (Just kidding 🤗)
I read a theory that Kiri could be able to bring him back, but I hope they don't do that, he died protecting his brothers and had a nice send-off. That last scene with him and Jake never fails to make me cry 😭
by the way, it's curious how Jake and Neytiri saw Neteyam in a memory while Kiri could have a conversation with the spirit of her mother 🤔
Kiri is clearly different. She will clearly play a big role in the future franchises.
What I really like about Recoms (like Miles Quaritch) is that they are not clones. They have the same memories, but are not the same person. It's a really interesting concept. Basically what makes us who we are and would someone else do different decisons even with those same memories? I find that really facinating and I hope it's explored more in the future.
The concept of the Recombinants is so fascinating, I could seriously come up with enough ideas to write a whole damn academic paper on it! Moral, ethical, psychological, etc topics that could be tackled just discussing it.
The next movie will feature the Ash Tribe so they are going with fire but James Cameron has said that up until this point all Na’vi we meet are in a positive light and that’s going to change. So we’ll meet a new tribe yes but they won’t be helping the Sully family at all.
That's great. I can't wait to see the ugly side of Pandora. It's about time
I noticed that you seemed upset about the movie bringing Quaritch back. I understand how you feel, but I honestly think this movie gave him a lot more depth. Not just giving him a son, but also having him cope with being reborn in the body of his enemies. Watching him in this movie made me realize how 2-dimensional the character was in the first movie.
In any case, I suggest you get used to having Quaritch around because I've heard that he's going to be the main antagonist in all 5 movies.
YES, in the first movie he's just bad millitary guy-dude. This movie, especially the hostage situation gave him a lot of depth. It was intense because of it
Also they broke the cliche of the protagonist being the one to lay their weapons down from a hostage situation. In this, it was the villain.
Na'vi Quaritch is going to be the Zuko of this franchise.
@@realfitzmarker Don't say that. 😩 Zuko was never as evil as Quaritch.
@@ZukoHalliwell he tried to kill aang and his friends multiple times💀even betrayed his own uncle for “honor”
I'm really excited to see how they'll use Kiri going forward, her "powers" or connection with Eywa were visually stunning in this movie so I can't wait to see how she interacts with other currently unseen flora and fauna of Pandora
I love this movie as much as the first film but for very different reasons. Kiri is my spirit animal and Recom Quaritch was such an unexpected and fascinating villain. I love the role Spider plays in making Quaritch question who he is.
My theory on Grace's pregnancy was she was too weak to transfer her essence to her Avatar body, but Eywa got enough to use that to impregnate that body. So Kiri would be the daughter of Grace and Eywa.
And the feeling I took home most from this as well as the first movie is how much humans can suck. The first movie was all about deforestation and this one was about whalers. I'm wondering where they'll go with the next three movies. We had the earth elemental in the first movie, and now water. I believe they've hinted at fire being a theme for the next one. So that leaves us with air (and pizza for fans of the Quest for Glory video games) for the remaining movies.
I have a weird feeling this relationship between Spider and Quaritch will cause Miles to accidentally shoot his son. Kiri, with the power of Eyva, will save him and it will completely change the colonel, who will then sacrifice himself to help Jake.
That sounds like a dark and complex scene in the next movie
I saw this movie twice in theaters and I loved it. I’m so glad you’re watching it.
Bro's wearing the wrong Avatar T-Shirt!😂
What white savor narrative? The darn planet saved it self in the first movie.
I watched this part 6 times in IMAX. There is no denying that audiovisually it was an extraordinary experience.
19:22 and 31:09 - Every time during the screenings people got scared by these "jump scares".
4:55 It is! (Sort of) They created a whole new language.
So happy I saw this in theaters. Beautiful movie.
RDA landing and mecha march scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really don't know what it is about animal crulty but i can't watch that whale hunting scene,
it's just so long and painful (because they are such large strong creatures)
I feel like for me it’s how pure and innocent they are, the fact that she just became a mother as well that makes it hurt so much more
Hey just wanted to say I really enjoy your reactions thank you for your hard work
And bridgehead city with sea dragon are amazing
4:37 Like you have any right to criticize! 😂 I've seen your _Puss in Boots_ and _The Aristocats_ reactions. 😋
35:11 Tuk is so brave! 🥺
I didn't know it was this good nice film.
I'm predicting that Na'vi Quaritch's character arc will be similar to Avatar: TLA's Zuko.
2:35 i never understood that saying, like something is not yours to take but it also dosnt belong to the one you are taking it from, like how can someone dictate what is whos
I saw this in theaters on a heavy dose of mushrooms. Not a great plan
Yesss❤
15:52 you got me good Eric
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There was no white savior narrative in avatar. That’s been debunked
You didn't see this in theatre really?
how did u even watch the movie at home??
Kiri is the new Jesus of Pandora... because everyone in Hollywood hates Christianity
Sooooo cool ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😅😅😅😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
it is a language stupid they had a professional make a whole new language for the movies
Why am I so attracted to kiri?!? First non-human crush. What is yours?
She’s 14
@@balkanbaroque Wich means in human years she's 21...but all Im saying is she was very endearing. Life is to short open your mind a little.
@@Mr808pocho in human years what? She’s a minor stop
@@balkanbaroque I see what's going on here... Good luck with life!
prolly not your first child crush either 🤨
Are you single?
My review: Avatar: The Way of Water
The digital technology that brings us back to Pandora surely is the best technical deployment of 3D on film, and the most photorealistic CGI ever created but that’s it, the film has nothing else to offer.
The Way of Water is less of a narrative film and more an endless tech demo one might expect to endure in purgatory.
As a result, it’s hard to discuss the characters or story because there aren’t any, really. Most of the first and second act are unnecessary long scenes that adds nothing and there isn’t any dialogue, is just CGI, music and them exploring and Cameron flexing the CGI, the third act had a few good things but not enough to make this an above average movie.
The plot, is laughable. Returning villains by Stephen Lang’s, his friend and they have motivations so laughably thin that is ridiculous, it doesn’t even make sense. The first and second act is dragged along by a parade supporting characters splashing about on space whales, looking stern and being repetitive with the sons being sorry for what they do. That’s to say nothing of the colonialist politics that the film blithely plays with. the film’s politics are so laughably overused, the colonizers so comically evil, and the natives so one dimensionally noble, that it is all too childishly simplistic to even bother getting worked up over. Subplots are introduced or hinted at and then get thrown away without resolve but hey spending an hour watching completely unnecessary whale hunt and dragged out surprised staring is more important.
Avatar 2009 wasn’t exactly a masterpiece of narrative innovation but at least had a decent plot, it was emotional at some points and it wasn’t a bad movie. The Way of Water doesn’t have anything. Cameron has become more fascinated with the technology of storytelling, it seems he’s become less so by the actual storytelling. So many years working on this film to come up with this. The ending is completely lackluster. In the end the new waterworld setting and all the people in it are nothing but beautiful background instead of something that actually plays into the plot and characters and what they did with Stephen Lang character to milk more movies is just ridiculous lazy written. If I had to describe this movie would be and empty beauty, for about 2hrs you get is Cameron gloating on how beautiful his VFX are with absolutely zero story. Below average, 4/10.
Worde vomit
I can't stand that Cameron brought back the same antagonist(previously DEAD antagonist, actually) for this movie, and is going to bring him back for the NEXT one, too. SO lame.
In fact, I can't stand that the Earthlings were able to just come back again, set up fort again, and start all over again with little to no opposition whatsoever. SO lame.
Where did u download the movie from
it’s available for purchase, no downloads
edit: DIGITAL purchase anyway
You can watch it any where since its now hd
Tell your country to stop killing whales. They're just as smart as us.
