Several years after the Na'vi repelled the RDA invasion Jake Sully and his family are living on Pandora. Things seem peaceful but the RDA has other plans, invading and capturing Pandora. Sully forms a guerrilla group to try to expel the invaders.

The first Avatar, released in 2009, was visually stunning but had a very weak plot. The story was basic, cheesy and predictable, like it was meant for kids. Characters were hardly developed at all, so you have very little empathy for them. Making it even worse, the film was massively padded, with several scenes adding nothing except to the running time which clocks in at an insomnia-curing 160 minutes.

Avatar: The Way of Water is more of the same. Great special effects, weak, cheesy story, one-dimensional characters. Running time is even more excessive, clocking in at 192 minutes due to a plot that just drifts for an eternity in the middle section. Director James Cameron could easily have cut an hour out of the film without subtracting from the story (what there is). But then he would have less time to show off his CGI skills, wouldn't he?
