Also, few people i went with had headaches due to not being used to 3d anymore.
The 48 FPS on top of the 3D and uncanny valley-like designs of the Na’vi had me on the edge of sensory overload at one point, but I adjusted. I dug the high framerate though, it made the Subnautica fukkery feel larger than life and akin to a video-game.

The frame-drops were mildly annoying, but I guess switching back to 24 FPS makes those drama filled close-ups really stand out more.

Was immersed well enough to not notice the runtime until by the last act. Shoutout to the person next to me who was knocked out and shockingly wasn’t a snorer. :salute:

This is visually one of the most breathtaking films I’ve seen since the first one. James Cameron dead ass did it AGAIN :wow:

The movie as a whole though? I mean…is it better than the first one? Sure..:yeshrug:...it’s cool. But it’s nothing ground breaking that would make me want to take time out my day to ever want to see it again.

It DID NOT need to be 3+ hours..I can understand why studio executives were trying to talk James Cameron off the ledge with the movie’s length. ALOT of that shyt could have gotten cut or trimmed down.

But Cameron wanted to flex on the CGI cause it was legit on a whole other level. But it got to the point where the shyt was wearing out its welcome.

The best way to describe this film is like
when you being home a bad bytch and have the best sex ever. However after the sex you want her to go home cause she doesn’t get the hint that she is wearing out her welcome.

That sums up how I feel about this film…


But I will say you need to see this on the biggest screen possible and I’m SUPER 4K in 3D.

That's the way the first one was for me. I didn't hate it. The 3D visuals were stunning (especially when the tree blew up) but I had no desire to ever watch it again after leaving the theater. I shared my viewpoint on the first elsewhere on social media and got called a hater by a few people. :what: Die hard Avatar fans really are a sensitive bunch.
