Let's get past the first thing everyone will love in the movie - visual effects. Yes, they're excellent. But honestly, for someone like me who has been visiting the imax theatres almost every month since 2013 and has savoured epics like Dune and Blade Runner 2049, it wasn't enough. At all.

The story is non-existent. It's shocking how people are rating this movie 10/10 and agreeing to the absolute lack of a story in the same review! The character development is non-existent. I would rate Black Panther: Wakanda forever 3 notches above Avatar 2 just for the incredible character arcs and performances. Avatar 2 lacks both. Speaking of Wakanda Forever, the oceans in Avatar 2 look like a video game! Why the hell is every organism bioluminescent?! Because that's the easiest way to make things look pretty. Not original at all. The dialogue delivery and background score is, well, so forgettable that I couldn't find any imdb review mentioning any of them.

The story at the end of 192 mins of Avatar 2 seems like exactly the story we had before the first minute started - except that we have 5 kids now. I hope that Cameon wrote a story for the next 3 movies. Truly disappointed.
