Long-term construction, which at first very long waited for the whole world, and then just laughed. A couple of years before the release, the film had already become a kind of meme, its content was approximately clear even before watching, he did not really need to go out - he was already good right there, in the form of the most expensive joke. No one really believed it, but the movie came out.
The biggest intrigue for me was – from what sources will they steal this time? Because there's no doubt that Cameron is a visionary, but he's also a thief. The first Avatar is simply plagiarism. Brazen, stupid, naked, arrogant plagiarism. This is Paul Anderson's short story "Call Me Joe" and the cartoons "Pocahontas", "Atlantis" and "Valley of Ferns". You can check the story in the voiceover, it is not very long, you will be stunned that you could just take someone else's work and put your name on it. Avatar 2, who did you steal from? Here you can easily guess "Welcome to Paradise 2", "Moby Dick", "Save Willy", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Soldiers", "The Lion King 2", and at the end there is even a natural "Titanic". Also from the film gazes at once with all the second and third parts of any Disney and Pixar cartoons, in which a large team of heroes managed to accumulate and they had children, and this whole bunch of heroes walks in a crowd and builds relationships with each other. The second film even managed to update the records for plagiarism – he, among other things, steals the structure from his own first part.
However, the plot in the film is not particularly. Either nothing happens or the same scenes go on over and over again. At the beginning and at the end, Quoric takes the children hostage. And tethers. He does it once, a second, and then again. And more. In the middle, the two leaders issue bans to families, they violate them, the leaders scold them. It happens once, second, third... This is so bad! I didn’t think I’d say that, but I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it in the movies, and watched from a torrent. Well, yes, I understand that the visual impressions in movies would be higher, but they would not cover the disgust from such a talentless, secondary, garbage plot. The film ends about the same way it started. The only intrigue associated with Kiri was not solved and remained a seed.
In addition,
- Norm Spellman’s avatar was killed in the first film. He's alive and well here. Well, it's safe to assume he's been pumped out, but why not in a three-hour movie find one minute to talk about it?
- Why does Kiri hate him? He's the kindest man.
- How will Sally's family move protect his tribe? It's still living in the same place. Now he framed both of them.
- Why can't a mind-reading machine read minds? Some bad car is coming out.
- Why did Spider help Quorich? Well, he didn't have a choice, but he instantly went from "I won't tell you" to "I'll teach you everything" in one conversation, in which he just sat and listened.
- How did friends-scientists end up among the methcains? It was clearly shown that Sally's family had flown off looking for a new home without them. People also need a sealed house. They can't wear masks all their lives.
- Again, people are extracting some local magic substance. Elixir of youth! The former substance is no longer needed, it is forgotten, the trend is now new. It's like in one series of games, first a sinister corporation wanted the meat of slaves, then their bones, then their tears.
- They can fasten an oxygen clam to the pigtail and breathe underwater! But they hardly take advantage of this opportunity. She was left for the final. Why not? Yes, the people leading a semi-aquatic lifestyle, it should be the main means. Why hold your breath when you can breathe? ?
- There was nothing behind the big name. The water’s path was simply an exercise in breathing and a banal acceptance of birth and death.
The most unpleasant thing for me was that this is another Hollywood film, stuffing the theme of a quasi-family. This is a new trend, not everyone has noticed it yet. Well, there is. Advocacy for adoption. For example, almost the entire fourth phase of Marvel (5 of 7 films) was devoted to this topic. “Adopt a baby, what are those who are sorry?” is a good message, especially against the background of what other topics pushes Hollywood. But for some reason, in most cases, the films specify: "the child of his enemy." I wish I could say I don’t know why they’re doing this.
The only thing I agree with is that Mrs. Sally is a real animal. An honest confession for a furry movie.
