Read it sometime ago, think it was a interview with AP.

I cry, I just sit here at my desk and cry all day long because there’s no way. It’s just too much pressure, dude. We just try to be kind of true to what people loved about the first film and take it into whole new areas, like a lot of our scenes are in the ocean. So I’m combining things that I love, like make an Avatar and go in the ocean, I love all that stuff.

That was an intresting read Kyo, thanks.

However, gonna go with a small party of friends to see this release at the local Cinema on release day, just to support them, put some bums on seats, so to speak, last 'time I was there was for James Bond and that last flick was trully dreadful IMHO.

There is no doubting this is a massive release, so will go see it anway :)

Its interesting though, TopGun 2 was much hyped by way of Covid and teasing ETC and it was a massive success, Avatar two was sort of stealthy, 'but now its here' Not so much interest .. Shrugs?

For me the interest is minimum I certainly won't go to the cinema for it.

The first one was a very pretty film but story wise etc it was nothing special at all.

This just looks like another visual treat and no substance

Thats cool, but for me a visual and undoubtedly an awesome audio experience at the cinema with like minded friends will be a great primer for the evening ahead on the town and give us something to chat about after the film :)

Enjoy staying in and watching Eastenders though my friend :)
 
Surely Cameron is one of the few directors who has credit in the bank for any project he releases. We might complain about the plot of Avatar but it was truly groundbreaking on release, I think I saw it twice at the cinema, which is unheard of for me. The guy has a track record of delivering groundbreaking cinema.

Don't really get your eastenders comment, fail at humour there it's also a crap TV show.

Anyway Cameron needs this to be a succes, the budget it for its been huge. I don't see it raking in the money or numbers they need but I'll happily be proved wrong.

Maverick still my favourite film of the year, the way that was done and no cgi etc was brilliant
 
Exactly Efour.

Sometimes bad movies are fun :)

This wont be a bad one of course, we just need to let certain reality's pass, just as we did with Top Gun 2 (and countless others) and appreciate it for what it is, or ... probably is, a visual and audio feast.

Or maybe a last chance to try out 3D at the Cinema again one last time? My Local flex has options of 3D and without.

What are the other options? Eastenders or Corrie ... I'd hate to see my local small town Cinema die.
 
Didn't enjoy the first film I couldn't get into it at all, it just felt wrong and completely fake. So I wasn't engaged by the story, as it just felt like a game cutscene.

This one has even stronger vibes that way. I love Camerons work, some of his films are my favourites ever, but I just don't understand Avatar apart from as a technical exercise.

Phantom menace basically...

Booked tickets for opening night at the local iSense, had some vouchers via the bank for ages so cost me nothing. It may likely turn out to be another pretty if basic story (although to be fair to the original it did this competently and hit the right beats), but at least you know Cameron has just done what he wanted with his IP (the joys of **** you money) rather than it go through the current Hollywood crapification process that is systematically ruining existing imagined worlds and characters whilst creating nothing of note of it’s own.
 
We booked ticket for boxing day. It is crazy to think it has been 13 years. It was one of the first movies myself and the missus went to watch. We went to Lincoln as it was only one of the few Cinema's with a 3d screen. When the first came out our daughter was 2 years old now we are taking her to watch it as a 15 year old!

Got tickets for tomorrow.

It premieres in Sweden today but it was so busy and I'm working and and my ass isn't ready for 3h of 3d pummeling today.

I have low expectations on plot story dialogue gaping plot holes.

I do expect to be taken on a wild LSD trip with blue cats and a StarCraft 2 terran mech army. Again.

Hard to imagine Cameron lending himself to crap, so hopefully and with mixed but early good reviews I and friends will already go see this shortly after all.

If its like first one and same old same old worn out story, will look beyond that, its hard to imagine anything new plot wise but a continuing story for this series now and simply wont mind, some of us here predicting rubbish should be cutting some slack I think :)

Avatar 3 is made already too I think? but a further one is dependent on the release of these two follow ups.

Is it the best movie series in the world? Nope, but is it worth the watching? I certainly think so ... I'll be going and putting several friends bums on seats too, my local Cinema made a massive upgrade just before Covid and than it had to shut, now its open again its clearly struggling .. use it or lose it Cinema wise folks, lots of them are closing down it seems.
