    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to James Cameron, the Avatar sequels were such a massive undertaking that he divided the four scripts between the writing team of Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno. Cameron delves further explaining the story process: "I think we met for seven months and we whiteboarded out every scene in every film together, and I didn't assign each writer which film they were going to work on until the last day. I knew if I assigned them their scripts ahead of time, they'd tune out every time we were talking about the other movie."
    • Goofs
      Spider talks about the moon pool of the antagonist's ship (a moon pool is an opening in the bottom of the hull, giving access to the water below). The Italian version translates this as a meaningless "pool shaped like the moon".
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Jake Sully: I see now. I can't save my family by running. This is our home. This is our fortress. This is where we make our stand.

    CONTINUE TO BE A VISUAL SPECTACLE, BUT...
    With over a decade of technology improvement, the movie provides even better visuals, more believable CGI(not that the first one didn't), it also continues the beautiful cinematography.

    But, the script is far inferior to the last one. The movie tries to focus on "family", and with Jake and Neytiri already had a movie, this one focus heavily on the children. But most of the plot lines fall into the trap of being a set-up for sequels. A few plots left unanswer in the end and a few plots begin after the mid point and already wrap after just after being introduced. Some of the charcaters are downgraded into 1 dimensional and some do not learn anything meaningful throughout the story. And the focus of the movie shifts completely once entered the third act which diminishes all the set-up from before.

    In conclusion, definitely a must watch, better visuals but slightly worst script.
