    Yes as an Avatar fan, I admit that the first movies story was not amazing, it was simple, but I absolutely respect and love the hard work that went behind the world building and biology of Pandora and I can’t wait to see more of it. I don’t care if the story is amazing or not, I want to know more about the world and the cultures than anything else.

    I have no hatred towards this movie but I don't know if it's going to be such a big success that it warrants putting out 3,4 and 5(allegedly up to 7). I saw the original because of the 3d and the cgi, because it was mind blowing back in 09. The cgi looks good and all but 3d has kind of lost its muster and it feels like they are going for an ACU because that's what everyone thinks they can do with their property now. Everyone was a cinematic universe and if they can build it, good for them. I'm just going to be shocked if this creates such a big commotion that people flock to the theaters for it. I'm going to give it a try after rewatching the 1st but only because I'm willing to give most things a try, I don't see the regular person being excited for a sequel to a movie that is 13 years old and it's biggest thing is world building, CGI, and 3d.

      Apparently China requested avatar to be in theatres again after covid to get people out. Unobtainium is a silly name, but if a NAME of something annoys you that much, movies and stories really must not be for you.
      And also, every movie can literally be described as another "its just _____ in ____" is applicable for everything. Disagree? Yeah, thats because its something someone says when they really have no idea about the differences between two movies. [movie where someone is lost] is just finding nemo [in this town].
      You can see the movie for free, give it a go before hating it. Living your life by hating things you've never seen is just miserable. If you're not interested, fine - but dont pretend like you know everything about it.
