James knocked this ish out the damn park. Even had shades of "Abyss" and "Titanic" in here. Of course James loves the water which he's used as a theme in several of his films. But this joint followed all the Sequel rules to perfection. Brought back previous characters. Added new interesting ones. He raised the stakes, brought in the emotional family story and the visuals are even better than the first. Loved all the themes about nature, reincarnation and of course sea life. Along with colonialism All the water scenes are crazy. Doing all those movies and documentaries in the water really sharped his skills. The 3 hours did not drag at all either because he did a good job with pacing. The Human element was even better in this film. Bringing back the same Bad Guy but he's an Avatar was a very good idea.

I also loved the Metkayani Water Clan. The Visual Effects again were crazy. Especially all that military technology. Sci Fi at it's finest. There was some cheesy dialogue with the kids but that didn't hurt it. As I said when reporting it's box office success. This franchise has connected wither people realize it or not. It's going make over 2 Billion for sure. It just works on so many levels so the 13 years was worth the wait. After watching it, I immediately wanted to watch Part 1 again. As for the next movie, James has never directed, produced or wrote a Part 3. He didn't come back for "Piranha III", "Alien 3" or 'Terminator 3" (James also wrote Rambo II but didn't come back for III). "Titanic" and "True Lies" were stand alones. So "Avatar 3" will again be his first Part 3. But he set it up good. James catalog is one of the definitions of quality over quantity.

So this is gonna be the next Fast and Furious franchise with 15 movies :gucci:


James did a good job spacing it out. This isn't like F&F or Marvel. They have 3 more movies scheduled. Avatar films aren't easy to make. James took over a Decade to shoot all of 2 and some of 3 at the same time. So he's going to go back and finish 3 to be out by 2024 and that ends the Trilogy. Then 4 and 5 will be Prequel films about the Navi before the Jake Sully Era. After that I'm sure there will be a TV Show based on Pandora but I doubt it goes to Avatar 15. It's more like "Star Wars" in that the sequels are spaced out. But you never know. This is the type of Franchise that can keep going. It's a huge Planet and Universe with a lot to explore. The Humans are also hell bent on taking all of it's resources.

Tried to go see it last night in IMAX 3D and there was an issue with the projector. They tried to reboot it, but ended up having to give everyone refunds and comp passes :martin::sadcam:

I read 5 is when the Navi go to Earth and see why the humans are trying to take over Pandora, not a prequel.

Titanic is the most impressive box office run on that list considering it was a 3 hour period piece, and 90s movie ticket prices.
The movie held box office legs till spring of 98

They better not be sand Navi. That would be a shyt storm.
Probably desert (Arabic) or ice (Nordic) tribes :mjpls:
That's what I was thinking they'd be desert people or mountain tribes. Just saw it today, movie was solid liked that the reef folks were straight Polynesian, noticed them doing the haka movements before battle in spots.
