Avatar: The Way of Water (James Cameron, December 16, 2022) Movie • Page 21

I will give them more money soon to see it in IMAX3D. They know how to hook you with this one.

 

Definitely the best use of 3D and nothing comes remotely close. Legit feels like you’re in the forest, water, on the ship, etc — completely immersive and makes you feel the scale of everything.

 

Fresh out of the theater thoughts: Last act kicks ass. First two? Kinda long and spotty, but everything pays off, so better in retrospect than in the moment. HFR is weird. The arm removal is Cameron’s best physical gag since Guy Hits Propeller in Titanic AND it’s amazing in 3D.

 

I never thought it would make close to Endgame or Avatar 1, but I’d still be surprised if this doesn’t reach near $2 billion

 

Idk, after sitting on this all afternoon I just didn’t find much to like here. At the bare minimum I wanted this movie to get me interested in the characters/story and convince me this is a world worth spending 3 more movies in. And it just…fell pretty flat for me unfortunately. Felt every bit of its length too.

 

The people who were depressed they couldn't live on Pandora were right

 

Truly sad for people who didn't enjoy this

 

This movie was Good

didn’t notice any frame rate stuff at all in imax 3D

I didn’t get up and pee but my butt hurts

 

This was a lot of fun and the action sequence at the end were *chef's kiss*.

Best death was dude who's arm got severed off by a cable

 

We’re you sitting on a bicycle seat the whole time

 

No dude I just have no ass and it’s a 3+ hour movie

part of the reason I try to always do Dolby but had to do imax babyyyy

 

Yeah I had to lean forward a few times, my ass was killing me but I was also in a D-Box seat

 

Like Big Jim was saying, I probably will go see this again. Might try Dolby 3D

 

Saw it in real d 3d or whatever Cinemarks fancy one is.

honestly, I was a little disappointed. The best parts were the National Geographic nature documentary and would have loved to see them go deeper on Kirk’s power. Definitely liked the first one more.

 

I’m definitely going to see it again at least for that middle part that was just gorgeous scenery. So fucking cool.

 

This was everything I was expecting and I could not be happier. King James I apologize sincerely for ever having any doubt in you

 

Though I gotta say I audibly lol’d when the end credits song kicked in. Was not expecting that in the slightest

 

About halfway through I thought “Are they going to keep having the teens use “bro” every other sentence for the rest of the movie?” And the answer was of course yes

 

Yeah some of the dialogue was weird and most of the Navi speaking mostly English was also weird. They clearly just didn’t want subtitles for the entire movie.

 

Yeah there’s the explicit point in the beginning where Scully says that Na’vi language eventually grew to sound just like English to him, and that’s when the shift happens lol. So I took it to mean that any time it was just Na’vi speaking to each other, they weren’t *really* speaking English

 

This is a recliner-required kinda movie

Just got out. Good. Very good. I'll take as many more of these as you got

 

Forgot to mention:

my showing did not have the new Oppenheimer trailer which bummed me out

barbie teaser may have been 1 of the first 2 trailers, concessions were slow, so missed that too

 

I’ve seen some complaints about the middle third with all the whale stuff dragging on for too long, but I think it is all absolutely vital. You really need to get just how close of a bond the Na’vi have with the whales, and spend a lot of time with the whales yourselves, so that once the humans kill one, you are right there with the Na’vi in craving some gratuitous human murders

Also this is a movie that rests on its visuals and the middle third is basically all that, so in that sense it’s not worth complaining about either. This is a movie that benefits from all the fat of just watching animals and Na’vi running around enjoying nature. Like if Malick made a CGI blockbuster
