By the end he makes enough mistakes to and conquers them to be an interesting character. That's kind of what kids do. But I agree that the side characters were a little more entertaining in part 1.
I can believe they were casual about letting the kids run around, thats pretty much how life was pre-1990s.
Isn't that what kids do?
If his kids had playstations instead of running around in a jungle like idiots then they'd all be fine
Yeh, they're clearly not meant to be perfect parents. I don't really get this thing where people see characters not making the perfect choice at all times and think that's a plothole or shortcoming. Like you say kids run off and don't do what they're told.
The more I think about it, the more it feels like important scenes got deleted late into production to get the run time down. But yes that is one of my primary criticisms of the plot. He basically brought the war to the other tribe's doorstep for no reason. I still loved the movie, but the plot has a few issues.
If it wasnt for Kiri having the fit, Quaritch probably woudl never of found them,or at least it would of took a long time.
She was ridiculously cool in that scene.
Yeah and a very early Wednesday estimate hat Wed at 18mil, although that could obviously change with how early it was given (industry guy on Box Office Theory).
Have a kid but still think the YA stuff dragged the movie down, strange since Cameron was able to use a kid actor to great effect in T2.You can tell who has kids and who don't in this thread
Yeah, that scene was FANTASTIC because I really thought she was just gonna kill anything even close to human at that point. Tarzan was right to hide.
I dunno, I used to go to the theater every xmas. Might be a good day for them.
That was something me and my girlfriend both picked up on .. I think they cut that part from the movie , gone was the water king .
I was going to watch the Tuesday showing since they are cheaper (Still $13 for imax) but didnt want to pay the $2.50 convenience fee. figured i would get good seats if i showed up at the theater but checked half an hour before the show and all the good seats were gone. the gallery was all sold out. Was definitely a good sign.
No you dont get what i mean, Christmas eve is always a bad day box office wise as cinemas shut half day in the US. Christmas Day can sometimes be pretty big, but it can also see a hit if people are spending the day at home with their families etc.
It's because they are essentially the modern "rebellious" kids, but they are not normal human kids, they are natives and aliens. They are out of place. Like having the goonies in Saving Private Ryan.
Look a lot of people Like AVATAR for different reasons. I have seen people moan about the nature doc style parts of the movie, and complain about most of the action being at the end of the movie.
Your opinion .. and that's fine. Thanks for seeing the movie , 1 sale
The general masses are the ones who like it, it's people who watch a good deal of moves who got issues. Sure, some people moan about it, and some people naively love anything that shines.
The sea people were definitely big blue polynesians, indigenous new zealanders, etc.
It is kinda interesting that the nav'i have very.......tribal rituals and actions (tongue wagging, the accents, the patterned tattoos, even their mode of speaking is kinda stereotypical "native indian me speak this way") which does give them a non-industrial feel at the risk of not feeling particularly alien. Be interesting if we get kilt wearing, wode-smeared, scottish brogue clansmen in the mountain version of Avatar 3 or even eskimo/inuit/sami inspiration if they go to an arctic region (and we know Cameron has toyed with "ice planet" ideas before). This sorta works because non-industrial societies probably come up with similar solutions given similar environments, like hunting with a bow, weaving baskets and nets, skin painting and piercings as adornment, etc and the loose familiarity on-boards audiences more quickly.Meanwhile, in the real world
Every time he talks about Avatar he mentions how awesome it was to incorporate his traditions in it and bring his buddies to do a haka and other ceremonies, some of which ended up in the final cut.Cliff Curtis opens up about Avatar role

Well these dudes have two eyes, no chest operculum and their upper limbs are partially fused together:
I dont have a problem with rebellious kids as a plot device. I just find it a bit repetitive to do the same thing 5 or 6 times in one movie, thats all. I was starting to get deja vu whenever the kid called his dad "uhh hey dad we fucked up again....and everyone is here"
To be fair, they didnt know the humans were going to show up at that time.
Well these dudes have two eyes, no chest operculum and their upper limbs are partially fused together:
So they're kind of a missing link between the other creatures and the Na'vi.
Everything else has six limbs, four eyes and those chest openings, which are reminiscent of a design phase where the team was looking at automotive design. They're like sportscar intakes. The stripes on everything are also inspired by racing vehicles. The final designs are very familiar at a glance but the more you look, the weirder they seem.
Thank you
You're welcome.
It is the most patriarch movie out there. Long live the patriarchy.
Oh come on
Why don't you quit this forum then if you don't want to hear a diversity of opinions. And reread your own spoiler, the same plot point does repeat multiple times, that there is justification for it doesn't suddenly make it untrue.
