Mad respect to Sam Worthington. I'm glad he gave credit to those designers, VFX artists, Animators.

Definite maybe. Lucas took 16 years to release The Phantom Menace which (wasn't bad but) wasn't exactly a masterpiece. Lucas' prequels suffered from him not being a great dialogue writer. The sequels suffered from too many Producer cooks being in the kitchen instead of allowing a singular, passionate creative Director maintain a vision - they didn't suffer from being rushed as much as it was that they were cash grabs. James Cameron obviously wants Avatar to be successful, but at the end of the day, it's a passion project of his not just a cash grab.

Loved the way of water. The effects were amazing, the high frame rate scenes in the water were incredible. Loved every minute of it.

I just came home from the iMAX theater and I'm still shaken. I'm determined. I'm heartbroken. I'm hopeful as well as I am sorry. Sorry for all the nasty things that we are doing to this beautiful earth. Sorry for our endless greed and our inability to look ourselves in the mirror. Sorry for the oceans that we are poisoning. For the forests that we are cutting down. For the soil that we are draining. I couldn't help but see that we are both the Na'avi and the Sky People. We have both natures in us. We can be compassionate to other living beings and we can butcher them when we are asleep to our cruelty. It is an awesome piece of art. It's a shame that the word awesome has lost all its weight but it's the closest word that describes it. I was filled with awe, wonder, reverence, and mystery all the way through. I saw myself in both sides of the equation. The light and the dark. The saint and the sinner. But in the midst of all of those fight scenes and grandeur, it was clear to me just how pertinent the message is. That the bond of family, community and our connection to nature are more important than everything else. No amount of technological advancement will replace the joy of swimming with friends who have your back and feeling the sun on your skin. No amount of metaverse shenanigans will bring more fulfillment than seeing pride on your father's face when he realizes that he raised a good person. All is lost when we sever the connections of humanity, spirit and playfulness. Those are the things that make us what we are. Thank you Cameron for your wake-up call. May we be kinder to all beings.

He really does put in the work to make these movies the best that they can be. Everyone always talks about how generic the plot of the first one was, and I'm already seeing people say the same about this one, but what I feel like everyone misses is that although there are indeed plenty of movies that have lots of similarities to the Avatar movies, the Avatar movies still stand out due to the amount of effort and care that's been put into them. They may be fairly standard action/adventure movies, not fundamentally different from the rest of the genre, but that doesn't change the fact that these are pretty much the highest quality movies within the entire genre. Originality is overrated, original concepts are worthless if they're not well executed, and relatively standard formulas can still be turned into masterpieces when you have the talent and dedication.

There are only very few movies out there that actually provides an escapism temporarily. To me, Avatar (2009) did it. The sequel was a much more heightened experience for me. Loved it!

The CGI was next level, it's blending into realism which allows directors to have a whole new level of freedom in designing. James Cameron pioneered this ventured and took his time to deliver until the technology was up to scratch, people owe him (or will eventually) a lot of gratitude for enhancing the cinema experience and directors will be thanking him for making their movies that much better using this hyper realistic blend of CGI and live action. Imagine fantasy games like World of Warcraft using this technology in a movie ^^ game changer. EDIT: Credit to the engineers that made the technology possible, they are the true heroes. They maybe invisible and in the background but they deserve the adulation and praise they receive.

Just finished watching it in 3D and my god it was jaw dropping! James Cameron exist to make Avatar. You have to see it to believe it, it’s truly immersive.

Goddamn did this movie surprise me. I had almost 0 expectations going in and was blown away. The CGI is legitimately the best I've ever seen, and it was surprisingly refreshing to revisit Pandora and catch up with the characters of the first movie. I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out, see it in 3D at the theatre if you can.

The Way of Water is the best cinematic experience I've had since the first Avatar.

The directing was so fucking lazy, you are so distracted, 1 thing would made the movie so much better, no narration, no reason pointless, that's a lazy move unless there is a reason like the first one video log, second there is no point going after him.... weak premise, second you had to put a female Jesus in there, third writing was shit, 4th completely incompetent with no character development of the character they killed off, creating nonsense drama at the end that was just soft, this guy isn't even close to being in the top 25 to 30 directors he is all cgi, T2 was the best he did, and don't talk about titanic bro just don't, acting and cgi and the actual history of that was what made the not James Cameron, quick question what did you think about the movie "the menu" that just came out? If have seen then you really are a big movie person don't know shit and just got on here cause the light show made you happy and that's fine but he is a shit director

Setup for some bat shit crazy action in the next one. I mean the first half was all about introducing us the new characters (the sully children) and developing them and make them grow on us. 2nd half was a mini battle to drive home the family bond. I mean the entire human base is still intact and growing. They basically fought the "hunting squad". At the end of the movie, Jake declared his stand. Next movie or the one after is War.

I think the reaction people have who are amazed by the movie vs bored out of their mind has to do with the desire to be immersed in another world. If you wish to be imaginative and apart of the world you let go of this one and fall in love with the films world, if you hold on to our world you can only see CGI blue people and pretty colors and would prefer to see something human from home. Every detail is alien and took countless years to develop and imagine but I know many people who don't prefer imaginative exercise and that's their choice.

Just watched it. Probably my favorite movie production. Maasive respect for james cameron and the team!

I hope James Cameron can stay alive long enough to finish the sequels. He's getting up there in age, life is fragile.

Brilliant interviewer seemed so interested in the movie and asked great questions well done. The movie looks ace can’t wait to see it

Absolutely beautiful and touching. I thought after 3 hours I would be hopping to leave the Cinema but not so at all. Wanted more and so did the rest of the audience, Eagerly await the video and the next installment. The Seed Bearer.

gonna go see it Tuesday, already reserved my tickets and really looking forward to it! Avatar was my grandfather's favorite movie before he passed so i'm taking my grandmother to see this one with me 😇

I really appreciate what Cameron said there at the end... about Avatar having a numinous element to it. It's something I've been arguing for among my own film buddies. They'll say, "Oh, Avatar is just blue Pocahontas, or Dances with Wolves and FernGully..." these are the obvious nay sayings we often hear. My response usually is, "You have no idea what that movie is really about do you?" The numinous element is what I've simply referred to as religious experience. There is a reason that movie resonated with so many more people outside of the US than in it. The larger world hasn't totally left behind it's spiritual roots.

A perfect combination of CGI , love and Spirituality, made this movie an extraordinary experience to the senses! I love how James Cameron is trying to bring the spiritual angle to the movie. Being a Hindu i can immediately connect with the title of the movie , the love, the war, the meditation scene, the prayer beads, eywa, the connection of self with the concept of ocean ( In hindu spirituality , ocean symbolises pure consciousness/brahman/one true reality, which connects everything). It was like a de ja vu moment for me, cuz the concept and idea behind the movie is already there in the ancient Indian scriptures. I really am excited to see the upcoming movies! If he's going to give more importance to the spiritual aspect of the story, I can already see where he's heading too!

From the interview, James didn’t give a f if people will say the story is weak. There’s a lot more layers to film more than just a story, and he prove it right. I enjoy this movie even-though the story is the same as before (with different aspect)

Every time Cameron puts out a movie, he's pushed the tech behind it by leaps and bounds.

It had wonder due to this as well as the overall wonder in the film and through the cinematic approach.
