Maybe the ash tribes have salamanders and wyverns. Could be cool to see, especially if they have some equivalent of hellhound.
Maybe, and there is also the pent-up demand and good visuals.I wonder if Avatar performing well outside of the US has more to do with the US being overexposed and inoculated to CGI fantasy movies, or if other countries are just more predisposed to like it.
It broke two billion at the box office. Sixth film to get there. Second fastest to reach that number. Interestingly perhaps its box office in the United States and Canada was pretty meh at $600 million and under $250 million in China where it seemed to generally underperform... but everyone else like in Europe, the Asia-Pacific and India etc, it's been performing very, very well apparently.

Have you seen Chinese movies for instance?
They have yuge amounts of bling and over the top effects.
He's so focused on the technology behind the film that he's lost sight of actually making films, if that makes sense.I thought the film was better than the first one, but I didn't like the first one too much.
I personally think James Cameron has lost his skills, just compare older props in his films to Avatar props which can be very forgettable.
And just overall weird plot points and 'filler', dude removes 10 minutes of gunfights only to keep in an entire sub-plot of avatar bad dudes who ultimately do little in the film.
It's like having a second shark in the original Jaws who only eats one person then disappears, but removing 10 minutes of hunting the original shark.
Have to agree entirely. Dude has BEAUTIFUL CGI but can't make a likeable protagonist. It's like throwing a dart bullseye at a pie eating competition.He's so focused on the technology behind the film that he's lost sight of actually making films, if that makes sense.
Ridley Scott is the same, though his problem is that his scripts and stories have become, well, too abstract.
Compare the original Alien back in 1979 and Alien: Covenant a few years back, for example.
I mean, the original Avatar was an amazing technological demonstration of new film-making techniques and upcoming technologies that eventually all became used in many more films in Hollywood.Have to agree entirely.

In a way, that would explain why they look like us...I heard an interesting theory about Avatar. Ewya, the tree...is an alien intelligence and created the Na vi to study humanity. It then allowed the humans to land on Pandora to see how they would treat the natives.
Because there is no way in HELL the Na vi evolved naturally on Pandora.
Each of the cat people has a USB plug growing at the end of their hair that allows them to interface and control certain creatures. Thus they have to be a gene engineered species but the question is why...and was Sully to awe struck or ignorant not to report there was something off with the tree?

QUARITCH
Look, you've given me plenty of usable
intel. Like this "Well of Souls" place --
I've got them by the balls with that,
when it turns into a shit-fight. Which it
will.
The Sky People have returned and are practicing scorched Earth as a way to secure an area.
Remember kiddies any drive system powerful enough to be interesting is powerful enough to be a weapon.
Apparently, they were standing still to land troops and vehicles. The use of the engines to scorch the forest looks like a happy addition to that.
Didn't they have shuttles for that in the first film?
