"Avatar: The Way of Water"

So, we've waited. Not entirely, but anyone who has waited thirteen years for a sequel cannot wait another month. And here's a medium-sized spoiler.

To be honest, I always have doubts when the next part of anything is released many years after the previous one: usually, it doesn't turn out to be as good.

Examples? Each subsequent installment of "[King’s Bounty](/games?search=King’s Bounty)" is worse than the previous one; "[Divinity: Original Sin II](/games?search=Divinity: Original Sin II)" doesn't even compare to its predecessor. In my view, "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" pales in comparison to the first part; it falls significantly short. While I watched the first "Avatar" in theaters six times, I have no desire to revisit the sequel at all… Except maybe when it comes out on the big screens...

In my humble opinion, Cameron simply decided to "cash in," dragging out the second part, posing many questions that go unanswered in this film: in short, he treated "Avatar" the same way Peter Jackson did with "The Hobbit" (though at least the latter had a dynamic plot). If I watched the first film holding my breath, the second part is frankly boring. Anyway, enough of the emotions; let's return to the movie.

Of course, the humans have returned to punish the rebellious Na'vi – with a huge fleet. Five years and nine months to get there, eleven and a half years on the way, not to mention the expedition assembly: it's logical, Jake and Neytiri's kids have had time to grow up. Fine.

Where did they transport weapons by train from, and to where? Several bases, quite numerous, if a whole train full of weapons is needed? The Na'vi ignored the construction of the road and didn't touch the bases, only destroying one? Why not transport weapons by air? Why not deliver them directly to the bases from space if there's a huge vertical takeoff and landing shuttle?

What is that colossal city on Pandora?

The humans were driven out from one base, leaving the main one untouched? Are the Na'vi and Jake completely stupid for not annihilating their enemies? And the humans from this base didn't attempt to take revenge for the defeat of the neighboring one? Or is this a city that was built - just like that, instantly? And still - where is the weapon being brought from, if there is plenty of room for shuttles to land in the city itself?

Alright, a base-city was quickly built. But how did they manage in such a short time to identify whom exactly to hunt in the ocean, what to use from the catch, study it, develop a rather complicated hunting technique, the equipment for it, and even determine a plan for how much to catch?

The Earth is dying; we will cleanse Pandora of the locals. Very well, but how will you breathe? Only walk around in masks?

We will get lost on the islands... And will the forest Na'vi be left alone by the humans? For sure?

Have the terrestrial ikrans learned to dive?

And why are they so fixated on Jake? Wouldn't it have been simpler to launch a satellite, search for him from orbit, and strike from there?

The most interesting thing: the Na'vi blew up the train, killed a lot of people, and captured weapons – and they won't face any consequences? We'll leave that for the next episode?

In short, everything is extremely stretched thin, and numerous unclear questions have arisen without answers. The first film is solid and interesting, while the second is dragged out, fragmented, and dull; that's my opinion.

I would be very happy if any of you could change it...
