I have watched A1 maybe five to six times. There's the occasional leap of faith (like the literal leap of faith onto Toruk), but overall it's a reasonable story for a movie. (I try not to think about the white savior theme.)
A2 is a different beast. The conflicts in A2 can be described as:
- Quaritch captures kids.
- Quaritch: Sully, come alone and surrender, or I kill your kids.
- Sully doesn't come alone and doesn't surrender. Quaritch leaves kids alone. Quaritch's men die, kids rescued.
- Quaritch captures kids, again.
- Quaritch: Sully, come alone and surrender, or I kill your kids.
- Sully doesn't come alone and doesn't surrender. Quaritch leaves kids alone. Quaritch's men die, kids rescued, again. One dies from battle wound.
- Quaritch captures kids, again.
- Quaritch: Sully, same deal despite everything, come alone and surrender, or I kill your kids.
- Sully doesn't come alone and doesn't surrender. Quaritch leaves kids alone. Quaritch's men die, kids rescued, again.
- beebeepka 4y agoThe first trailer kind of telegraphed that it's going to be about family and stuff but oh boy. Sounds bad. I haven't seen it yet. Didn't want to torture myself with 24 FPS imax
- senko 4y agoIt's beautiful scenery, awesome effect and impressive world building. Do not watch it for the story or Avatar 2 will chew you up and spit you out.
- senko 4y agoMaybe he was bluffing because he knows dead hostages are worse than live hostages? If you can stomach Quarich being okay with being reborn into the thing he hates the most, or everyone important that died in A1 being reborn, or the fact humans don't simply nuke the Navi from the orbit, or the fact that unobtanium is not as important as miracle whale oil, .... then Quarich bluffing and being called on it and then trying to repeat the bluff is not SO far fetched.
