Hrrm. I watched it in 2D, and was very tempted to skip/FF.
Was boring for me, compared to the original. Just more of the not so same, with maybe better FX, sometimes.
edit: To expand on that, from memory, the original had for me fucked up cyperpunkish earth, somewhat realistic spaceships/travel, heayv mining industry, cynical execs and military, nerdy techs and scientists.
Compared to most of what else streams over the screens nowadays, it was almost HARD-SF. I like that.
The Way of Water had much less of that, instead more tribalism, maybe some wokery. I don't give a shit about that.
(While I'm at it, the pre-prequel to the Alien-franchise "Alien Earth" with six episodes out ATM has much of that cyberpunkish flair, and is at least slightly more than just 'so-so'.)

- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoHrrmph. I wanted to counter that with: "But I don't do Apple!1!!" After seeing the resolution per eye that is really tempting. Guess I'm having to wait for some other device reaching that, without having to buy into that ecosystem. Something which I can just plug into some of my Linux boxen, without any further hassle ;->
