Avatar: Way of Water - teaser trailer

[Brian G Turner]

Long delayed, but welcome to see a trailer at last.

 

[Rodders]

I cannot wait.

I didn't see Avatar at the cinema and didn't watch the movie until several years later. I regret that.

You didn't miss much.

I saw it at the cinema and walked out after 45 minutes or so. I regret buying that ticket.

 

[Rodders]

I very much enjoyed Avatar and will still watch it. It's entertainment.

In this film, I found myself rooting for the evil corporation.

 

[Toby Frost]

I just don't get the amount of hatred that Avatar attracts online. Sure, it looks pretty and it's slightly banal, but isn't that the case with virtually every blockbuster? I'd rather have the honest banality of another Avatar than yet another "It's Batman but this time it's like really daaaaaaark, man". I saw it at the cinema: the 3D was quite good, the plot was predictable, the environmental bit was goofy but pleasant... overall, I had quite a nice time.

 

[Rodders]

I totally agree, Toby. It's entertainment and no more derivative than what comes out of Hollywood now. I'd wager good money that if I were to trawl through older threads most of us would've enjoyed this when we initially saw it. ($2 billion in box office isn't to be sniffed at, either.) I'll try and see this on an IMAX. Baylor, I can't believe you didn't enjoy this. I've seen some of the movies you've been posting.

I can imagine seeing Avatar in 3d at the cinema was quite the experience.

As an aside, do you think 3d will come back for this movie?

I didn't like the story nor the characters. I do think that Avatar had the potential to be great film.

This franchise. What a waste of a career for Cameron.

 

[Christine Wheelwright]

Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Barely remember it.

 

[Le Panda du Mal]

A cool spectacle. The plot is sort of dumbed down Dune. It's fun. Not great.

Avatar is so lush on the visuals - it made for a great experience.

I think there was an edit or directors cut released a few years later and my wife went to see that at the cinema, too.

 

[Stephen Palmer]

Avatar was the most clichéd film ever. Just terrible. And not crap terrible - antiseptic terrible. Not-even-worth-bothering-with terrible. Although, to be fair, Ready Player One could be even more terrible. I'm using the word terrible a lot today, maybe it's a Friday 13th thing?

To think James Cameron wasted decades of his career on this project.

 

[Stephen Palmer]

What really strikes me about stuff like Avatar and Ready Player One is that it's possible for a film to be that bad. As somebody who watches few films, that's a real eye-opener for me.

Your faith in human competence is touching.

I like the pretty underwater scenes in the trailer. If they re-cut the film with only those and got rid of the"plot" I'd pay to watch it.

 

[Toby Frost]

Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Barely remember it.

Likewise. It was fairly banal. 6/10 stuff. I vaguely remember some space dinosaurs, a robot suit and the surreal sight of 8-ft tall, bright blue Sigourney Weaver.

Anything that gets flamed online is being done by bots and not actual people. One person can have unlimited number of bot accounts to magnify their point of view on something they don't like.

If the film was truly bad then it would not have been watched. Yet alone released several times, translated, have a billion dollar budget greenlit for four sequels... Even "The Room:" has been seen by tons of people. Therefore its not a bad film.
