I'm writing this review, while the movie is still running at 1.5 speed at my home theater. In essence I've watched the whole movie mostly at 1.5 speed, and during the annoyingly protracted action scenes, at 2.0, even 2.5 speed. This should tell you how incredibly dull and unengaging is this sequel. I feel very sorry for the people who went to the IMAX Cineplex, where they didn't have the luxury of increasing the playback speed. Full three hours Chinese water torture - that's The Way Of The Water! :-D

There was only one (1!), relatively funny but predictable, moment in the whole movie: "Show me your fingers!!!" (If your IQ is over 80, you'll guess the outcome.)

It is just one beautiful, expensive exercise in CGI. Hopefully, in Avatar 3, the "Sky People" will hire one truly gifted military tactician, who will bring approximately 300 kilograms of the neurotoxin Botulinum Toxin (or its Pandora equivalent), exterminate all life on Pandora during the first 5 minutes of the movie, and happily extract Unobtainium and Amrita for the remaining 85 minutes...

Trivia fact: About 200 kg of BoNT is enough to poison to death every oxygen-breathing animal on Earth, if released high in the atmosphere. That's why the airplane carrying few grams of raw materials for Botox®-from the US to the Allergan's facility in Westport, Ireland-has a military escort...

I'm waiting now for the end credits, because I'm pretty sure the music will be good. Wish me luck.
