    The second one felt like an extended visual demo.

    I can name 2 characters from the entire movie. And one of them was a side character. Jake Sully and Spider.

    The story was inconsequential (meaning everything that happened progressed nothing) and forgettable.

      i maintain that cameron should just have gotten david attenburough and made a kickass scifi documentary about pandora, much like how apple did with prehistoric planet

        Shit, the only one I really remember is Neytiri (the costar). Was Loak one of the kids?

        Anyway, I came out of the theater impressed by the visuals, but feeling like I couldn’t remember one important story beat. I mean, what was even the point if literally nothing changed from the beginning to end except for the locale?

        Maybe it’ll make more sense as part of the series, like a music album with songs that work better when the album is played straight through.
