AVATAR THE WAY OF WATER MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted

24:48 I gotta disagree with this part... Spoilers The point of the "whale" subplot was that it had been outcast for the death of the children in the previous battle (implied the first film) when it was actually trying o save them. Due to their reveal intelligence, it was trying to redeem itself by saving Jake's son. It understood Jake's son because the water tribe didn't fully accept Jake's family, due to Jake's DNA making his kids have human traits that Navi don't have like 4 fingers. The whole subplot echoed Jake and his family feeling like outcast and his son not feeling like he could live up to Jake. During the finale the whale was redeemed by saving them at the standoff with Jake's kids. The son's connection with the "whale" and that moment also made him understand "The Way of the Water" the water tribe's daughter was teaching him earlier in the film, which he used in the finale to save his father...

[@Bruticus31]

Big facts. The movie literally tells you what they thought happened and shows you what actually happened. Maybe they missed that part.

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

The movie did show us what actually happened, but I don't think I understand why the water Navi initially thought that the only survivor of a technological attack was responsible.

[@ShahrukhKhan-fe3qi]

Agree love everything with the whale

[@midnightnavigator]

@jameson stalanthas yu It's because him and his brothers and sisters went into battle against the humans and showed aggression/killed. So, to the whales, it went against their complete passive nature. The mom with the calf didn't even fight to save her baby. That's how non-violent they were. So engaging in attacks makes them just as guilty as a murderer. You can see he was willing to fight and kill, even for a good reason, that's why he was blamed and outcasted, because he partook in it. When the son tried to explain the story, the girl said "to them, it is the same"

Jake didn't flip out on the other kids because he believed his son when he said it was his idea, and the other kids tried to stop him. Jake can't get mad at an attempted murder if he doesn't think it was attempted murder. WE know it was attempted murder. And I'm fairly certain the Whale was speaking the son's language.

Sure, until it reaches a point where the tools are expected to do 99% or more of the work, and the only artists employed on major products are left with the menial task of making small corrections. (that doesn’t seem to be the case yet, just pointing out how the situation is rapidly changing)

SPOILER The biggest issue I had with the plot was the whole motivation for leaving the forest tribe in the first place. What was the PLOT reason for the military pursuing Jake? I get that the colonel had a personal gripe with him, but the military just wants the land right? They have no reason to target Jake other than the fact that he’s the forest tribe’s leader. So him leaving should make their job EASIER , right? Leaving to hide from the colonel really only makes sense if he was acting alone, but he wasn’t.

[@BigSal51]

Jake wasn't acting alone but he was the main danger to the RDA, because it was his knowledge of human military and navi combat that made him lethal and effective at taking down their militia and mining facilities. Jake leaves when he realises that they're targeting him and by association his family in retaliation to his attacks, and were able to get in on their home turf without issues from the Pandoran wildlife as was established early on, because the soldiers are navi avatars now. Jake realised that they're home, which was initially protected from the RDA threat by the Pandoran wildlife, is now no longer safe for him and his family, and since they want him specifically, not the clan, he leaves the clan knowing that his presence will get them all killed if the RDA find out that they're harbouring him, which once they have spider he figures will only be a matter of time. Presumably once Jake decides to uproot and leave, all insurgency operations and raids stop, as the RDA realise that he's gone quiet, likely due to them not recording any attacks in a while. Jake definitely takes on a more cut and run, passive demeanor after fleeing to the reef clan, he even discourages the reef navi from avenging the murdered whales initially, so as to stop them from invoking the rath of the humans, so it would make sense that he would leave their home clan and stop the attacks there too, keeping the clan safe as they'd be out of the RDA's radar, and of course him and his family would be safe as they've moved away and gone out of sight; or so they assume, they of course slip up when calling in the help of the scientists when Kiri gets a seizure. As for why the RDA continue their pursuit of Jake, even after he goes quiet, they never really explain that. It definitely seems like Quaritch is the one who understandably headlines the search out of his thirst for vengeance at that point going forward, the RDA general doesn't seem too invested, she even seems discouraged based on the 100s of islands that they'd need to search to find him. The whalers are also more concerned about their hunting quota than chasing around Jake, so it makes it clear that the RDA is carrying on with their operations on Pandora regardless of Jake's capture. In the end it just boils down to a grudge match between Quaritch and Jake, the rest of the RDA and the navi become pawns in Quaritch's plan to take him out, he doesn't seem too invested in the RDA's main objectives in the long term; even if they explicitly told him to stop, I don't think that would discourage him. On the other hand, if the RDA is still invested in finding Jake, it's probably just a way of demoralising and destabilising the navi, as well as getting justice for everything that he's done to them up till now; not too dissimilar to the USA spending many years, money and lives going after Osama Bin Laden after 911. They'd obviously probably still need to fight the navi going forward even if they did get to Jake, but they'd perhaps have an easier time of it without his unique knowledge of the human military amongst the navi.

Quaritch too. Your comment proves wrong all those marvel boysvwho said this was a rehash of the first one. There are like 15 minutes atist of rehashed scenes when the whale,kiri, spider, loak,and the sea people stories take so much. So there's no even time to rehash.

[@medinmon5150]

There's a difference between real and realistic...as much as great the movie looks, I still feel that is a good-looking video game. I think that I will not enjoy this movie at the theater with 3d goggles, but neither at home without them. Great work I must say, anyway.

[@bringonthefandom248]

[@futuremovieactor]

Quaritch is actually significantly evolved here. Before, he was the asshole human who only cared about the destruction of the planet because he was following orders and had a strong "us or them" mentality. Here, he's now an alien who died as a human; has a human son that despite not being the man that raised that son still has that bond; is in it for revenge against the man who got him killed and wrecked things so badly and is learning how to at least use the same resources on Pandora for success now rather than the ones he had in his previous life. This felt like a different man while also being the same man-both in good ways.

[@P.E.NumberOne]

No. No it wasn't. 13 years later and it still has the same issues as the first. A white savior complex movie with uninteresting characters and shallow plot that gets by on its pretty visuals. You might as well be watching a David Attenborough documentary

[@oolong2]

The visuals were amazing, but I felt every minute of that run time.... After 2 hours I was like "Why the hell isn't this movie over yet?!". If the story was stronger it would be a different situation, but what you call "world building" I call taking a bunch of tribal, ocean, family, and teenage cliches putting them altogether and not really building much beyond that. The motivations were all super weak. The same thing kept happening over and over again and was pretty predictable. Nothing really interested me in these characters at all, when people died it didn't mean much to me. The first movie was also full of cliches, but it also had some interesting character beats, where the characters didn't' feel so 1 dimensional.

[@alyssaallan8833]

I completely disagree with the whale point. Other than the initial, how tf is he understanding that whale, the rest of it is absolutely essential for the whole 2nd half of the movie to make sense

It’s absolutely baffling to me why the bad guys didn’t have Spider tied up or in a cell at all. Even after he destroys their controls they still don’t subdue him. That took me out of the movie

Pretty sure they did subdue him after he destroyed the controls. Its just the ship was also under attack, so he escaped.

Korey, I hope you went back to see the parts of the movie you missed. Take a bottle to piss in if you have to. In addition (spoilers...), I wouldn't be surprised if Col. Quaritch had more to bring in the next AVATAR installment. At the end of the film, he actually did get emotional when Spider refused to return to humanity with him. I'm not saying he'll end up becoming a good guy (wouldn't rule it out though), but the events of this movie may yet add some further complexity for his character.
