ay ya ya finally got this movie out of the way released when i was 4 and 16 years later, 3 movies out from the franchise, i finally sat down ans watched the entire thing right from the moment the audience is taken into pandora, there is not a single doubt why this movie is the highest grossing movie of all time. i mean jesus christ the budget was 237 million dollars, literally one of the most expensive movies ever made. and for a film made in the 2000s with such stunning visuals? yeah no wonder why this was the most anticipated and popular film ever. in terms of storytelling, the world of pandora had so much world building that needed to be done but due to the tight screen time (which 3 hours is a lot for a film but clearly still not enough for avatar) to move the plot forward, i feel like the foundation wasn't quite laid down enough. the bond and relationship between jake and neytiri was informed, and it was moved forward at a normal pace, but i would love to see more of why their bond was so strong, why they were special to each other, beyond their first sight, beyond the training, i needed more interactions to prove their unbreakable bond. gonna be honest, which is a very personal opinion, everytime the humans were on screen i got so tired 😂 i honestly only ever wanted to see the Na'vi and the world of pandora. perhaps thats my only criticism of the film, too many humans 👌🏻 on to the next one i guess, brb (i need to finish both so i can rush to the cinema for the third 😭)
