Avatar 2: Does Anyone Still Give a Shit?

Except there's no Tim Curry musical number.
I re-watched "Ferngully" during the pandemic lockdown, and Tim Curry's song is the only good part.

James Cameron Might Not Direct Avatar 4 And 5 Himself – Exclusive

He also wants you to STFU about how long the next movie is:

Is this going to lose a lot of money then?

Holy fuck that looks awful.

Maybe James Cameron has spent the past 13 years drinking his own pee.

Still can't name a character from that movie.

We waited 13 years for that nonsense?

Honestly, I never got the reaction to the first one. But to each their own.

If you saw it on the big screen in full 3D back in 2009, it was visually astounding and a next-level achievement in three-dimensional filmmaking.

But the story was paper-thin and the acting mediocre at best.

I watched it on Blu-Ray at home about two years later and was like, "Why did I think I liked this movie?"

But clearly there are over one billion reasons as to why audiences seem to like it.

I did. It was pretty. But the writing was mediocre at best. It was just space Dances with Wolves.

As I value a good story far more than visuals it was pretty meh to me. It was worth a look and my matinee fare, but the billion dollar haul just flabbergasted me.

By the time it's ready to come out, the Fascists will ban movies anyway.
You took too long, Cameron.

So it's the same as the first one. Creatures love their planet, man comes to mine resources on planet. Creatures fight men and win

Is this going to be the plot for the next couple of ones too?

The real question is, will these new creatures also hiss like angry kitty cats when they are trapped and scared?

Maybe James Cameron Won't Make 5 Avatar Movies After All

Does he have another 36 years to make 3 more movies? He might have tpo do more than one of these every decade unless elon is going to come out with his live forever juice so that death becomes her is a reality. Before he gets a dose I am really up for Bruce and Goldie to get their doses. Let us not give Glen a dose because that seemed to work out poorly.

Okay, wasn't Earth supposed to be decades away from the Avatar planet at whatever speed humanity travels at? So presumably the sequel is about the humans get kicked off the planet going home, regrouping, and coming back... Why haven't the blue people from the first movie died of old age by then? Or used the intervening century to prepare?

The Weeknd is Doing Music for Avatar: The Way of Water

Five years, nine months, twenty two days. Watched it last weekend, took about eight hoursv to get through it. So not decades.

I am going to predict huge bomb on this one. Was anyone really that invested in blue people land to begin with? When so much creative mocking of the audience was in the first one by making the goal unobtanium, I don't give a fuck.

Unless there is some huge social wave I am missing, this is just another flashy show we have seen before.

1. Unspoiled beyond what is in the trailers, it's entirely possible that the conflict this time has nothing to do with Earthers.
2. Assuming for discussion's sake that the plot does involve Earthers seeking to retaliate against Pandorans or exploit the planet's resources, the time it takes to mount up a force could be shortened by a) improvements in technology b) drawing forces from a closer human installation than Earth c) travel between the two points taking a shorter period of time than you originally thought or d) other factors.
3. Assuming for discussion's sake that mounting up a human force to invade Pandora does take, say, a half-century, I don't think we know anything about how long the Pandorans' natural lifespan is. It is entirely plausible to me that a Pandoran would normally live several hundred years, given their symbiosis with the planet and all. At least, for me, it has probably been 20 years since I saw the film so I don't think anything was established about Pandoran lifespans or much of anything about their biology, other than the synthetic Pandorans smelled funny to actual Pandorans and they could connect themselves to various Pandoran life-forms.

Critics seem to love it.

Well, if it is visually breathtaking I might give it a go in theaters.

I’ll wait for the audience score, critics are stupid.

Have you seen the American voting public?

Avatar 5 Will Return to Earth, But That Leaked Title Is Wrong

Apparently audiences do give a shit, because it made close to half a billion dollars worldwide on its opening weekend.

$881 million as of this post.

It made 8 billion dollars?
