[Here's my non-spoilery reaction to AVATAR 2]

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is visually spectacular, with some of the best action scenes you are likely to see this year.

But imho it is THE FORCE AWAKENS of the Avatar franchise. It has new characters & new locations but it's fundamentally repeating the same story beats, character beats, even thematic beats of the 1st film. If that sounds good to you, you'll probably love it!

Cameron is a great filmmaker but this left me pretty disappointed.

@Davechen Given the praise I’ve seen from others on [unnamed social media disaster] I’m surprised to see read this reaction! Checking it out myself next Friday, LIE-MAX 3D. Looking forward to what is sure to be a lively Filmcast review!
