No stupid Greenpeace save the whales side story?

Uh ... you might wanna pass, though there's nothing side to it in this one. Movie does oddly retread a lot of the 2nd movie, with the extra layer of the new faction.

Liked this better than the 2nd. Thought it was better much paced, with action set piece after action set piece, only really slowing down unnecessarily to give all the heroes a moment one time towards the end... otherwise it really did kind of fly by and was great in 3D.

This was a pretty entertaining movie. It has some feels, but not sad kinds. They were more hope based. Movie was long. I parked a few minutes before it was scheduled to start (2pm) and I left as soon as it was over. The parking garage said I was there for 4 hours and 13 minutes.

Senator Joe Lieberman who tried to regulate video games was a democrat/socialist.

Tipper Gore who was the main person responsible for music warning labels was married to a man named Al Gore.

Thinking it was religious types pushing for government control over media is nonsense. It's left wing types that desire control and power over others. Compare movies made in the 80s when America was a hell of a lot more religious than those made today. Just compare original predator to the faggot movie they just released. Fucking green blood while the original had completely flayed bodies, dudes having their skulls ripped off, numerous ducks and faggots.

Went for the visuals not the story, which was lucky due to them rehashing the 2nd movie and tagging the end of the first movie onto it. Was some serious eye candy at least.

If I recall, that's not really the case - instead when Cameron got funding from (then) Fox, it was for a planned set* of four sequels: Avatar 2, 3, and the beginning of 4 all take place in a row, with a time jump before the back chunk of 4 and 5, at which point the kids will all be adults.

Apparently all the motion capture for that first chunk of 4 has already been done, and the filming? (what do you call mostly performance capture work, production?) of the rest of 4 and 5 will be done back to back shortly - who knows if the rendering tech will get an upgrade as well.

This trailer.. sure looks like another one of these. Wake me up when they hit Earth in the back half of 4.

*Disney already had a scheduled release slot (now obviously outdated) for Avatar 5 back in at least 2019 - Full Disney movie schedule to 2020 and beyond

So is Avatar 5 the last one?

A2 was Water, A3 was Fire. I assume they're going to finish the elements. Do we think the first movie counted as Earth, Air, or none? It seemed like Earth to me. Guessing 4 will be Air and then 5 will be all four, OR 4 will be Air and 5 will be Earth. Maybe quite literally. You said the story is going to Earth by the end?

A time-jump midway through 4 is going to be interesting. It was made pretty clear in 3 that the real hero of the saga is the young daughter who has godlike powers of asspull magic.

Saw this on opening night, first time in a theater in a while. Enjoyed it a lot, will watch it again before 4. Was the first of the three movies to really have a compelling plot for me, in large part because of the Fire Tribe and the inter-Na'vi conflict it introduced. The "humans are awful disgusting pigs" narrative I could do without, but it is what it is. The Colonel is getting a little played-out but he was good as usual, looking forward to his big face turn eventually (hopefully)

Curious what the Air Tribe is going to be like, since it's the only element they haven't shown us.

In more ways than one yeah. The best thing about the movie for me was the queen of the Fire Nation slinking around being sexy. I didn't realize I could find a blue person that...alluring.

It feels like they could have done a lot with 2 & 3 other than retread the plot of the original but with some new N'avi... Yeah I get the whole underlying biological network subplot aspect, but this is supposed to be his life's work grand space opera and so far its very redundant.

Ultimately you need sort of an end game. Only way the current cycle ends is

1) Earth is suddenly incapable of launching missions for some reason
or
2) Pandora somehow gets a tactical advantage that negates Earth's technological superiority which in turn allows negotiation
