Just jaw-dropping in theaters, it blows away every other CGI movie and the water effects were incredible.

[@mrg0th1er83]

The 3D characters and water effects were so well done that the things movies usually do all the time were not looking good in this one. The airship and boat animations were wonky at times and some of the explosions too. Strange how the hardest stuff to do was perfect while the easy stuff was a bit off.

She's definitely going to be the avatar of Eywa (or Jesus as you say), if not I'd be really disappointed. It would explain all her powers and everything, reincarnation of Grace wouldn't explain anything, although she would technically be in there to as Grace is one with Eywa now. So I definitely think Eywa used Grace's avatar to birth itself into the world because Eywa knew the humans would be back and now they're going to need someone to unite all the life on Pandora to get rid of the humans once and for all.

All I can think is that Grace's avatar was connected to Eywa when they were trying to do the transfer. It's not hard to believe that Eywa could have fertilized an embryo at that time. Spider saving Quaritch has me thinking dear old dad is going to be getting the mother of all redemption arks before this is over. I just hope Neytiri doesn't alienate Spider...the scene where he is legitimately scared of her and when she cuts him has me fearing he'll end up flipping sides.

I'm 99% sure that Kiri is the physical child of Eywa.

Thus giving her the powers of Eywa and the smarts and compassion of Grace. Also, I love that the first movie was symbolically about Native Americans and this movie is about Pacific Islanders.

It is really incredible technology which can allow actors to play roles they would otherwise never be able to. ps: Sorry for my english i am not a native speaker

That's the reason why James Cameron is one of my favorite movie director (long life to his work) he had such a brilliant idea to continue this masterpiece I usually don't go see movies in theaters because of overprices tickets nowadays but worth it definitely Avatar 2 the way of water brought me 3 hours in theaters without even being tired or disappointed. His writing and his special effects visual 3D makes us believe Pandora is real, without forget it was a pure joy to see back together Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Stephen Lang they are such underrated actors. The movie also give such a beautiful message about family and in the first movie I wasn't really interested by Ewa but this Kiri's storyline in this chapter makes me want so bad to see the next movies. For me the scene when Neitiry is singing for her son's deathand her voice is different I lost it and I am 27 years old man 😭

When you like James Cameron it is no wonder you like this one - it is a combination of his most succesful movies in one movie. Avatar I, Titanic, Aliens, Terminator 2 => the scenery and the backstory of Avatar I; the water scenario and the sinking ship scenes from Titanic; the walking robots, the similar space ships and aircrafts and the kids knowing to survive better than the adults like in "Aliens"; the villain returns even you stopped him him and the unsolved kind of paradox father figure like in Terminator 2. You combine all of that and you get => "The way of ... Cameron". You could even add the returning of Sigourney Weaver and her special child in Aliens (even though the Alien-Films with that kind of story-line are from David Fincher and Jeunet) and the strong almost magical girl with the mysterious back stroy like in Alita.

It reflects nicely against Jake and Neytiri who are still obviously going through struggles despite loving each other, due to the cultural differences they were raised in

One thing I've not seen mentioned by many/any is how when Tonowari tells Ronal she should stay home and she says "I ride" there's no pushback or questioning from Tonowari.

[@AstroSully]

The animation is simply breathtaking. I really can’t wait to see how the saga wraps up. The most beautiful movie I’ve ever watched.

[@ericbrown8627]

Being a dad myself and having just lost my dad, this movie gets to me every time I watch it.

[@thatpianoguy91]

I know I’m just a stranger passing through on the internet but I’m really, really sorry for your loss. If it isn’t weird, gonna give you a virtual hug.

[@CASSIOPEIAMASHUPS]

Loved this reaction! This film was honestly better than the first for me. Also it's called a Pentology!

[@bestieawesomeness]

That movie really got me good in the theater I was sobbing at Neteyam's "funeral" I guess it was. My older brother passed in January so that scene just hit me harder than most

[@Jay-ate-a-bug]

The cool bit about the concept of the Avatar is being fully fleshed out in all of these movies. In mythology "Gods' would take Avatars to blend in amongst us humans. The first movie layed out that a person's soul/essence/neural patterns could be placed into an alien body. When Grace died at the end of the first movie we thought it just didn't work for her. It turns out Aywa did something different with her creating it's own Avatar in the form of Kiri. So yeah, Kirti doesn't have a Father; she is the living incarnation of Aywa. I think the Spider/Colonel situation is going to become a necessary component to an eventual Peace and Understanding between Humans and the Navi. The Colonel will still be a bad guy but because of Spider he will learn to understand and maybe even empathize with the Navi.

[@fightingfaerie]

That’s what I’ve been saying. The first movie was called Avatar because they controlled remote piloted avatars. But Jake is no longer an avatar, he’s full Navi. So where does Avatar come in (besides hanging onto the franchise’s title)? Avatar in the classic religious sense. Kiri is Eywa’s Avatar.

[@davidkeye9334]

I think Kiri was a result of them trying to save Grace in the first movie. When her real body and her Avatar body were connected to Eywa.

[@AnxMa]

Hi, I'm a MoCap performer and gotta say they've created seriously stylish fight and movement choreography for this. I also wanted to share a painful story of mine about the new Resident Evil Remakes. In late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the RE 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part... Now, many years later, when I see how successful those remakes are I can't forgive myself for wasting such a chance. In this business one audition can change your entire life.

[@tijasialett3517]

I refused to watch this movie again after seeing it in theaters because I cried too much…. I watched your reaction and here I am… again crying but supporting! ✌🏽😭✌🏽

[@vakama9053]

In point of fact, How to Train Your Dragon *is* based on a book series...but it takes next to nothing from those books besides character names, the basic viking setting, and the general idea that Hiccup starts out as a bit of a dweeb who turns out to get along exceptionally well with dragons. For example, the Toothless from the books is of the most common dragon species, is about the size of a cat, and is quite literally toothless.

[@Justanotherguy101]

The end of the scene reminded me a little bit of the movie about pearl harbor. After the event occurred the boats began to sink, and when they sink they slowly flip upside down. Once the top of the boat enters the water, it starts filling up the inside of the boat which creates a suction. This suction took the lives of many soldiers because they were unable to swim fast enough to get away and got dragged under water. Brings me to tears everytime I think about it. RIP to those veterans.

[@frikkinpenguin]

I‘ve been waiting for Natalie to see this and upload an reaction! I totally loved this movie. Specially the scene of the Sully‘s arrival at the village. It’s the first time, where we see their shade of blue skin doesn’t blend in with its surroundings anymore, where it stands out and creates a contrast. It just shows the level of detail that went into these movies, coming straight from James Cameron himself.

[@ZUKO-FROMTHEFIRENATION]

23:20 this is HILLARIOUS!! Yes I took my time to read the entire board 😹😹 this channel is in fact gold.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Went and saw it in 3D at an IMAX theater with the higher frame-rate. One of the best visual experiences I have ever seen. It's remarkable how far ahead this technology is compared to other movies. The actors actually trained to learn to hold their breath for 5-7 mins for shots, because faking movement in water doesn't work.

[@krisdahl272]

If no one has figured this out... would you like to know why Kiri is so in tune with Pandora? It's because her FATHER... or rather her contributing parent is Eywa! Yes... Kiri is the product of an immaculate conception. She is Avatar's own Jesus Christ. If you're also wondering why Kiri had that seizure while connected to the Spirit Tree... it's because she wasn't ready... she wasn't strong enough yet to learn the truth... to process the reality of her parentage. The seizure was Eywa's way of scaring Kiri off of this search for information for the time being. I dare ANYONE to try and tell me that these theories don't make sense... 😳🤪😜

[@KeyB22]

this movie was a masterpiece and beautifully written.

[@Mat99ization]

Cameron has been working on the Avatar story since the '90s, the man has ALL planned out (kinda)

[@delskioffskinov]

Natalie! I don't usually watch movie reaction content maybe coz i'm old but when i found your channel i couldn't believe how much you look like my twin who is no longer with us and every time i miss her or just feel sad i look for your content and remember the good old days my twin and i had. I t calms me down and makes me feel like she is still with me. So thank you for being you and know that you make a persons day when he feels down!

[@IanJenn356094]

I definately feel like Quaritch will end up being a goodguy, or an antihero. He's not the same gung ho marine from the first one. He's more sypathetic, willing to learn. I feel as though he will ultimately have a very uneasy alliance with the Sullys. And I feel like he will sacrifice himself at a crucial moment. Spyder saving his dad will end up being an event that will end up saving the Sullys in some way down the line.

[@blitzgirl6522]

Enjoyed your reaction to the first movie, so was really looking forward to this! I've been a fan since the OG, and this for me was worth the 13 year wait. My favorite characters are Quaritch, Kiri, Spider, and Tuk, but I love everyone. I have no idea what to expect from the rest of the series!

[@hellfiremorningstar6651]

How to train your Dragon is actually based on a book. A book it doesn’t really follow but it is a book. Also yes this movie is 10/10

[@yoonoh6552]

i was waiting on this reaction!! i always have fun watching with you!! honestly, i think most people do think that this movie is better than the first. if only because it focuses on a lot more aspects than a love story and it expands the world of pandora so much more. i also think they did a really good job setting up the new leads of the story in lo’ak, kiri and spider. it was actually already confirmed that lo’ak is gonna be the narrator of the upcoming third film! and i really really agree with you about spider. spider hate is so crazy to me especially about his decision at the end which i totally saw as a way to show how he’s better than his father. and ofc i have to mention neteyam. i cried like a baby. i understand what james cameron was going for but it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt like a bitch. still haven’t recovered from his death honestly.

[@Kolateak_]

It's so weird to not see this in theaters, but on a screen, and within another video And I'll be real, first time I saw this, for the entire movie I thought that girl's name was "Kitty" 💀

[@93bloodsugar]

If you ever get a chance to see it in IMAX 3D you definitely should

[@annie.phoenix]

I love how they use Cow and Calf for an alien species of animals, which is actually the same thing earthling cows do. When a mother cow has their calf removed they'll fight for it, they protect their babies. I've sadly seen it in person. Luckily nowadays I'm vegan so I'm not contributing to that. Sorry if I spelled anything wrong but I'm from Argentina, South America.

[@levanyra3732]

When I first watched the trailer I thought I would dislike Kiri and Spider but honestly they were some of my favorites in the movie. I was actually surprised by the amount of hate Spider’s character got. I thought both their storylines were so good and promising and I can’t wait to see them and their relationship unfold.

[@StickmanMook]

Payakan went into that battle with his superior intelligence as his only weapon, and swam away with a hefty kill count. He highlights how dangerous a wild animal could be if it were smarter than you.

26:01 rotxo (the one on the right) never bullied kiri! it was a different kid who looks a lot like him and people often mix them up! rotxo has always been nice to the sully kids :)

[@charoleawood]

Way of Water is great! But I still prefer Avatar 1, the Collector's Cut in particular.

[@callnight1441]

this was such an amazing movie! thank you for reacting! there has been so much unwarrented critisism around this film, so i'm glad to see someone react to it and love it as much as i did

[@chisompeterson6132]

22:25, the fact that Nat didn't bother to censor herself really shows how distressed she is.

[@uhuhuh1966]

Kiri was an immaculate conception, there’s no way Grace would’ve had sex with someone in her Avatar body lol it became impregnated when she died hooked up to the tree of Awa

[@arpeggioblue]

I’m swooping in to defend Rotxo real quick (he’s a sweet baby angel) Technically the only bad thing he said about Kiri was when they first arrived at Awa’atlu when he remarked on them having thin tails. The short-haired boy who later bullied Kiri and helped strand Lo’ak was a different character who just looked a bit similar Aonung is still a little shit tho (however I am very excited to see where his character goes moving forward)

[@enigma19833]

For what it's worth, both Cameron and the actor who plays him have all but confirmed that Quarritch will be having a redemption arc over the next movie or two. So Spider's decision to save him might end up being a good thing.

Not seeing this in 3d is a total sin lol ... I was literally shocked at how realistic 3D was and sharp ... visually it was the best 3D experience ever ... it was so realistic that watching it I forgot it was 3D and it felt as if I was there on pandora once everything was zoomed in and projected all around me ...

[@sauteedlimes219]

I am so SO happy to hear someone also agree with the liking of spider saving his father and his conflicting relationship and feelings with him. A LARGE majority of the fandom HATES spider. But i love him. It really shows that spider is JUST A KID. A kid that wants his father’s love even though he isnt a good person.

[@dereksmaszcz]

Such a beautiful movie! Couldn’t wait to watch your reaction

[@dooickouski]

I read in an article that in the 3rd movie Cameron’s going to introduce a group of avatars that are based around fire and that those are going to be more villainous avatars along with introducing some more good guy human characters. Should be a nice change of pace for the series.
