I don’t have words.

The movie is just non-stop humans being absolute colonizer monsters and the people (and creatures) of Pandora, who want to live in peace, being forced to fight back (and kicking human ass).

The movie lives and dies by it’s visual effects and by god are they incredible. Pandora is just such a beautiful world, and Cameron lets you experience it in all its beauty and unity and peace before he shows the ugly human machines and weapons kill and destroy it. You feel the pain and the righteous anger when the Navi fight back. I was cheering for every human death of which there are many.

Is the story perfect? Nah. There are points where it’s cliche etc but I don’t mind that. There is a larger story about nature and colonisation and that’s what matters so much more. Pandora is a world that can fight back because the world itself is alive and connected and god just imagine if Earth was like that.

I’m definitely gonna see it again and I’m super pumped for the sequels.

    Does it need to be seen in 3D?

      I went IMAX 3D cuz I knew that’s what would be best. It was a 1.5 hr journey one-way.

      And I’m willing to do it again.

      I also do wanna see it regular to see how different it is. But Avatar is really about the world of Pandora, which is best experienced in a big ass screen and with 3D.

      It’s really the only franchise that needs to be in 3D at all lol. Everything else is better 2D imo.
