Then, there’s an IMAX/3D re-release of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, which is set for October 3, 2025 — ahead of threequel Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19, which is expected to do gangbusters business, on the heels of a historically successful first two films.
This comment section gonna be fun
Why?
I pirated this movie. I made it 10 minute in before I turned it off and deleted the file. One of the most banal pieces of shit I've ever turned off.
So. You’ll hear no argument from me on how banal the thing is. The setting, the plot, the characters. None of it does anything particularly engaging.
But holy fucking shit this movie and the one before it were breathtaking visual spectacles that I’ve not seen before or since.
I'll agree with you on the first one. My friend wanted to see it and we saw it in 3D - which I usually avoid. I was blown away by the visuals and actually saw it a second time in theatre about a week later with someone else. I kind of didn't even pay much attention to the plot and dialogue. I just wanted the visuals.
It wasn't until I saw it a third time at home without the visuals that I realized just how stupid the movie was.
The movie is so fucking dumb. I absolutely love the avatar movies in 3d at the theatre but there’s zero reason to ever watch it at home. The movie really exists as a way to hold together wildly ambitious visual art
No thanks.
Man that was a bad movie
But an awesome tech demo.
Nah, that was avatar 1.
It honestly didn’t look that much better.
You mean "bro", I think.
Man, that was a bro movie
Unless they drop that absurd dynamic frame rate, that's going to be a 'no' from me. It turned millions of dollars worth of top tier post-production into something cringy by YouTube standards. I'm not arguing that everything needs to be 24 fps. Hell, film it at 60 for all I care, but that back and forth is extremely distracting and cheap-lookong.
