    It was boring and predictable. A sequel to the first movie which was what? 10 years ago? Only good thing about it was that the visuals were good. It deserved that oscar for best vfx and THATS ALL IT DESERVES

    James Cameron astonishes with his masterful cinematography.
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Of course the visuals are stunning, and the action scenes are amazing (especially in the third act) but the movie feels like its twice its run time, and the plot is too predictable. Good overall message about family, and pretty entertaining movie. I'd recommend.

    You get from this what you get from the first Avatar. An absolutely stunning visual spectacle and a story you never think about again once you've left he cinema. The characters and story are serviceable enough to keep you entertained while admiring Pandora, the action sequences did drag in places but are still James Cameron action scenes, so still competent. As much as James Cameron liked to brag about his female characters in this, all of them except Neytiri had no action prowess and one of them managed to get kidnapped and rescued 3 times in one action sequence, surpassing anything Princess Peach ever achieved. So don't expect anything on that front. On the whole I liked the first one a lot more, but this is serviceable. If you liked the first one enough to see all of these blue movies, you won't be disappointed. The plot and characters were never the draw, so if you liked the world of Pandora and want a pretty world to look at for a couple of hours, then this will do.

    Oh, wow. I found it hard to make it through this one. If you want a pretty screensaver, this movie is it. Other than that, it has one of the worst plots I've ever seen. Character actions just don't make any sense. I found myself laughing at this movie way more than I expected, and I don't think it's a comedy. So unless the goal was to teach writers what not to do, I'm not really sure what was going on. James Cameron has had some amazing films in his day; I was willing to look past the first Avatar movie (which suffered similar writing flaws and plot holes), because it was at least slightly original (dances with wolves in space) and had a bit of heart. This felt like a cash-grab. Recycled plot, villains, and no nuance to anything. The themes were shoved in your face so hard that it was almost insulting. I'm sure some will enjoy it because it's pretty (it is gorgeous to look at), but it's just so hollow. I would much rather watch an episode of Blue Planet.

    I won't lie, I saw this when it first came out but just writing a review now. I am not proud to say this but I LOVED this movie. So much more than the first one. This one, despite being longer, felt faster than the first and felt like it was a better story and much faster. I wish I didn't feel this way but I am very excited for the sequels and what's to come because I really really enjoyed this movie.

    The visual was amazing! But the story was empty and predictable.

    Good movie, the visual effects were amazing but the story was boring and why does Quaritch have to be the villain every time? Some of the cast was really annoying but good movie, feels like Titanic at the end though.

    I find it to be a boring movie, but beautifully boring. For me, the load of CGI is not enough to justify a story almost copied from the previous one, with pseudo ecological messages. And the most unbearable thing are the monologues with voice-over. My mother. For me it was like an LSD trip.
