I enjoyed The Way of Water more than the first one so I am looking forward to seeing this one. Plus apparently not everything is gonna be so black and white finally so I can't wait to see what bad Navi can do.

Way of water made the original feel like a tech demo

I enjoyed Avatar 1 more because it more or less closed off all loose ends. Sure it left room for a sequel, but most of the plot points were entirely resolved. Avatar 2 ended halfway through a story. A story I was quite invested in.

And yea watching Avatar 2 after Avatar 1 you can tell the difference. But I watched Avatar 1 in 2009 and it made every other movie feel like a tech demo.

Avatar 2 is part of a planned list of movies filmed years ago that are being slowly released now. CGI takes a while to render I guess lol.

Avatar 2 was long and boring, and made even worse by the high framerate bullshit.

Avatar 1 was a rollercoaster of spectacle and emotion. Far superior.

Those water effects are so insane. Can't wait to get a 4k TV to rewatch it!!

I'd buy that TV sooner rather than later if I was you...

You mean you can't buy an American made Maytag 4k TV?

u/Lord_Halowind 1d ago

Yeah I know. I'll have extra money next month. Just need to wait a little longer.

Be the change. 4K TVs are cheap as hell right now, but subject to change. To go Best Buy and buy a used 65inch Hisense U8 for under $400. Lotta bang for your buck.

I hope it has at least a 120 refresh rate. My 2011 Vizio has 120 and I'd hate to downgrade even though it's cheap and 4k. Thanks for the tip though!

Make sure the new one is actually 120 hertz and not some of that bs terminology they use and put a 120 in front of it. It can be surprisingly difficult to find at times.

u/Lord_Halowind 1d ago

What brands would you recommend that guarantee 120 hertz?

u/Winter-Donut7621 1d ago

Its been years since I bought my TV. I think most of the top end brands should have it. My tv is Sony, but I'm not sure that all Sonys will have that. Sorry it's been so long since I've looked at TVs.

u/Lord_Halowind 1d ago

I have a friend who has a Sony and loves it. I'll keep my eyes out. Thank you!

I've loved mine as well, you're welcome!

I also loved that they gave us a large time jump. Made it feel like I was reading a fun fantasy novel series. I always find that sequels that take place right after the first movie are missing out on the ability to deeper world-building between stories. Makes the world feel a lot more lived in.

The remastered version of the original is pretty close to 2 imo. They did a run in theaters just before 2 came out.

u/LiquifiedSpam 23h ago

I also mean plot and world wise

u/Aleksandrovitch 1d ago

It's weird you can just see all the avians have the exact same texture. Which I'm sure you'd never see in anything but a still.

Still.

You don't believe I can actually like a sequel to a movie I actually thought was kinda mid aside from it's visuals. Well spoiler alert because I did.
