'You can’t knock James Cameron’s visual gifts,' writes TIME critic Stephanie Zacharek (szacharek) of AvatarTheWayOfWater 'The plot is designed to seem engagingly complex, but there’s nothing about it that’s particularly moving'

Avatar: The Way of Waterome people are blue-people people and some are not. James Cameron’s ambitious 3-D fantasycaused a sensation when it was released in 2009. No one had ever seen anything like it, which didn’t make it a great movie, though its novelty did help make it one of the top-grossing movies of all time.

Sully’s life of contentment is short-lived, anyway. His former boss, Colonel Miles Quaritch , killed by Neytiri in the first picture, has found new life himself in the form of a Na’Vi avatar. Originally, Earthlings were interested in Pandora for its rich stores of the priceless substance Unobtanium, but all that has been forgotten. Now Quaritch, in his blue form, wants only revenge, with the ultimate goal of killing the traitor Sully.

szacharek Disagree. Btw Tarantino really enjoyed the first one.

szacharek I guess a colonizer can't see the message that colonisation and abusing the idiginous for there resources is bad

szacharek Great movie!

szacharek Who wrote this? This was incredibly moving. Tf?

szacharek “Special effects without a story is a pretty boring thing.”~ George Lucas

szacharek Fire whoever wrote this

szacharek If only the first movie was any good at all.

szacharek Why does everything have to be 'moving'... why cant it just be fun to watch ....🤔🤔🤔

szacharek

szacharek Oh yeah go watch it because it looks pretty but fuck the story i guess Cameron think the audience don't care about character development and story.

szacharek A late review and a tired opinion. CinemaScorr has spoken and the people overwhelmingly love the plot and scored the film an A+

szacharek I think if you make a visually pleasing film like this, the plot has to be simple, otherwise, you'll end up doing gov't-type spending overruns.

szacharek In short, James' movie is garbage.

szacharek Critics complain about a paucity of sophistry?

szacharek Same old woke nonsense

szacharek IT SUCKS

szacharek It's a Cartoon, no story. Copy-paste.

szacharek When you are bad at reviewing movies ^^^^^^

szacharek It's an Xbox movie.

szacharek I know it's easiest to criticize, but this part of Avatar is really underdeveloped. After so many years of waiting... I feel unsatisfied. Recommended for fans of the movie and wait for it to appear on paid streaming services

szacharek So basically it’s the same as the first one? 3/10 for acting and story

szacharek Dances with Smurfs again

szacharek If you don't like a fantasy why do you take the effort to write about it?

szacharek Just watched it, very disappointed (( meaningless action movie with great visual effects 🤷🏻‍♂️

szacharek Yeah the plot was full of clichés and Jake was a coward and a jerk

szacharek You obviously didn’t see the bigger picture.

szacharek It was clearly just setting up future movies, calm down

szacharek I thought we retired the 'movie critics' as a real career during the pandemic?

szacharek Midvatar

szacharek Looks like computer generated crap

szacharek 💤

szacharek I love it.

szacharek Avatar...the tomato in a bowl of fruit salad...

raehanbobby szacharek I can't stand looking at these avatars. In nature the distance between eyes needs to be an exact triangle between eyes and less than arms length to see what is the tool you are making. Look up the New Caledonia Raven or Crow.

szacharek Story sucks but at least it looks great as it sucks.

szacharek a sneaky Pagan Movie. 'Humans are bad,overpopulated..' Notice that, this idea is on the Hollywood movies for recent years. Blue color is related with some creatures.. Remember bluish hindu 'gods'.. Make the connection yourself.. A movie which reflects todays Pagan World Order.

szacharek I can and will knock his testosterone-free visuals. Of course the plot is weak like the first one.

szacharek Did anyone really think it was going to be anything other than a pretty screen for three hours ? No. When 3-D was a novel thing it amazed us. By the time “How to train your Dragon” came out we were over it

szacharek The first movie was boring AF. I won’t be watching the sequel

szacharek Bring back REAL Movies Hollywood

szacharek You're trying so hard...

szacharek You could say same about the first movie and also Titanic and the Terminator sequels. All visually epic but he's not a storyteller. He's no Spielberg, never was

szacharek ❤️❤️❤️

szacharek One group of people trying to take another group of people's land part 2. Oh, I'm sorry water rights now.

szacharek Crappy script. Pretty visuals. Titanic again.

szacharek Can’t freaking wait or um 😶 did it come out already 🧐 um 😐 possibly lol 😂 I dunno 🤷‍♂️ but I’m excited 😆 to see it k

szacharek Because JamesCameron is a terrible writer with interesting ideas?

szacharek The first one was 'Dances with Wolves' but with very tall blue natives. I'm guessing the second one will be 'Last of the Mohicans' in the same azure hue. I'm sure it will be very pretty.

szacharek Avatar 2 will be:

szacharek Homie left it waaaay to late for a sequel.

szacharek No one go see it we need this to tank so we never see another one ever again

szacharek So just like Avatar then.

szacharek If you're seen the trailers, you already know this movie is absolutely nothing to get excited about at all. Great visual effects, for sure. Little if anything else of substance beyond that. PASS.

szacharek Well yeah, that's the same as the first movie. It's only about the visuals

szacharek Most overrated movie of all times

szacharek I'm not paying for more WOKE indoctrination, I cancelled Disney+ too.

szacharek Spoiler alert Time Critic: The plot of the first Avatar wasn't new, unique, or particularly engaging... It just looked pretty

szacharek Here comes the snowflakes 🤣

szacharek So it's the first movie again.

szacharek But you were moved to write a piece on it ?

szacharek The movie “looks” great but I’m sure it’s just another tired story with nothing original. The first one was essentially Ferngully. I assume this will be Ferngully 2: The Magical Rescue?

Sir James Dyson has strong words for the WFH crowdIf working from home is important to you, then a job at Dyson likely isn’t on your career path as founder Sir James Dyson has slammed the idea of flexible working ❌ Is he joking. Today I’ve been trying to get replacement parts for my Dyson. Even the UK office doesn’t know when they will arrive. ‘Could be a few weeks or longer’. Never again. Plastic crap. Why should people work from home, when James doesn't build his overpriced Hoover's at home, opting to exploit cheap foreign labour? can we work remotely from singapore to avoid paying tax instead?
