We've 13 years past James Cameron's Avatar from 2009 and so close to the 2022 release of The Way Of Water. The problem is however that we've forgotten almost everything about it, the names of characters, events, the technology, alien names, the language and how many legs and fingers everyone has. So we've taken a quiz via zoo.com to see what we can remember and try and get up to speed for the sequels big release. Thanks for watching!

    Fun fact, Avatar is set on the planet of pandora which is full of dangerous predators. More importantly it’s ripe with plant life, which is commonly green in colour but due to the lack of oxygen on the planet of Pandora creates a blue-like colour. James Cameron then coined the working title of “Blue harvest” as homage to these blue coloured plants.

    I think it would've been interesting if James Cameron was able to make Avatar 2 in time for the originally planned release of 2014, but instead of Avatar 3 to 5 coming out one year after the previous, they were about 5 years apart so that each new installment could be another showcase in the advancement of technology (and maybe even be a contributing factor to said advancement). Avatar 2 (2014) would of course be the water, Avatar 3 (2019) could've been de-aging technology, Avatar 4 (2024) could've been maybe entirely CGI with the live-action characters being photo-realistic, and by 2029, James Cameron would be a trillionaire, create VR movie theaters, and people would be able to watch Avatar 5 as a background character in each scene, and with the ability to move around, have an entirely unique viewing experience.

    I saw it too. With my sister and dad. Came out of it and they loved it while all I was thinking was how much I enjoyed District 9, which came out earlier that year, so much more. Maybe my experienced was spoiled by that, so I came to be able to watch it later, it's extended edition in fact, and having so much time between the two, I still felt like it was a decent movie that had a few particularly strong performances and character writing like for Sigourney Weaver and her character. Otherwise, it was still more a pretty tech demo, and the obnoxious "perfection" and "unity" of Pandora really didn't do anything to endear me to them. I can only hope with Way of The Water, it will be opening up to more nuance that will make this all worth investing and staying intrigued with.

    I don't really understand the hate for it tbh, I loved it upon initial watch in the theater with 3D, and later a second viewing on bluray (though the CGI doesn't hold up as much if you're not watching it in 3D) It's by no means a masterpiece, but I can remember it just fine, it has a relatively simple story and it's not like the names of the two main characters are hard to remember (Jake Sully and Neytiri). Grace is great as well (Sigourney Weaver). Ex-military dude's brother dies, who was part of a special program called the Avatar program, which allows the person to connect to the mind of an alien lifeform, who was created with the DNA of the human it's based on and the Na'vi (blue cat looking aliens). Ex-military dude (Jake) goes in his brother's stead, is asked by the corporate assholes to spy on the Na'vi as one of them but over time learns to respect them and even love them, and no longer wants to help the corporate assholes. Corporate assholes don't take kindly to this and decide to blow up everything, Jake helps blue cat aliens to fight against the humans and in the end chooses to stay with them as one of them. Sure, there's a lot of details I haven't mentioned (but could) but like, that story isn't hard to remember.

    For personal experience, the problem is not that stuff was hard to remember. It's that it was bland as hell and not worth remembering. I remember coming out of it thinking "well it was a movie. There were a couple of good action bits. That dude got crushed by a pallet of generic metal items. The rest of the movie can be thrown away because it holds no emotional value. I've seen it all before and this was one of the less interesting versions of it. Oh and the animals had 6 legs. That was neat. The horses breathe through their necks."

    I think this is also tie to message of the movie, and its use of the noble sauvage idea. It is a cliving idea that people debate over since centuries. Not everyone think civilization is the reason men are bad, or that some form of primitivism is the way to go. Especially during this era where Futurism is quite prevalent. It is also quite annoying that the implied solution to our current ecological problem, is you should have lived in harmony with nature lol.
