- lifebinder3d agoIt was a 3-hour movie, and I only cared about 90 minutes of it.
- DerekJune 4, 2025I love this movie. Absolutely beautiful
- Josue Gutierrez4d agoGreat movie, great visuals, good message, family recomended.
- Carlos García-Berro5d agoPretty much the same story as the first one, but in the water
- obenfetoJanuary 11, 2026Avatar 2 has the depth of an episode of Little House on the prairie. Somehow the Aliens on Pandora behave now like white americans from Ohio ?? And why is this soooooo long ! 3 times the exact same sub-plot (kids got captured, then freed, then act stupid again and get captured...). 3 times in the same movie ! Ugh... I guess it was quite nice to look at, even though alien see animals look just like ours (whales, see turtle, tropical fish...). 1/5 ⭐
- Spencer MBJuly 31, 2025I saw this in 3D+IMAX+High Framerate 3 times... If you aren't onboard with this series after seeing this movie, then I don't know what to tell ya.
- tomhughesniceJanuary 8, 2026Just fine, it's very much a good guys vs bad guys sort of film without much character nuance. I don't like how they have recycled the same villain from the first film. Looks great, but an entirely forgettable story. JC should move on to something better before he retires.
- Jeff JohnsonJanuary 8, 2026First time watching it, it seems like it was a copy paste of the first one, but with water, but after watching it again the second time, it was a good movie. I'm looking forward to seeing the third one
- Ichigo KurosakiJanuary 5, 2026Very nice movie. Of course, special effects are awesome, but story is nice also. Good for a movie night with family.

- Tegu0118January 1, 2026Absolutely 💯 recommend and yes I will use a full day to watch 3 hours movies as it it worth every minute! Next stop Avatar 3!!! 🔥
- Eric BakkeOctober 9, 2024I don't think anyone was asking James Cameron for an Avatar sequel. Man that was long.
- Kevin WardJuly 5, 2025Jaw dropping visual spectacle for most of it’s epic runtime and worthy of traveling the extra mile to see it on the biggest 3D IMAX screen with the high frame rate. With the setting having moved out of the lush forests of the first film and into a vibrant oceanic world, a lot of time is spent getting to know this new setting—the creatures within, the new characters and this new way of life. The setting is familiar enough that it still feels like Pandora but it’s also so wildly different that all of the visuals feel refreshingly new and not just a rehash of the first film. There are times when the high frame rate distracts and effectively making it look like a video game cut scene. But honestly, I think that’s only because of how spectacular everything else looks. At worst it looks like the most expensive video game cinematic of all time. As for the main story, I didn’t really love it. A mustache twirling villain is dead set on hunting down Jake Sully at any cost. Much more interesting were some of the Sully children’s character arcs and their overall family dynamic in general was a highlight story-wise. Some of the character beats are repeated a few too many times, particularly with one of the sons, but I definitely felt more invested in the characters than I did in the first film. However, the Spider character unfortunately kind of sticks out. His motivations seems to waffle unpredictably and I just don’t know where he fits in. Like the first Avatar, there’s an earnest environmental message that permeates throughout. It’s overly simplistic but I appreciate it being there. The action set pieces, particularly in the last hour are something to behold. A marriage of exciting action and gorgeous visuals that are beyond my comprehension of how Cameron even began to put this all to film. I’m pretty mixed overall but even still I’d say this is absolutely a must watch on the biggest and best screen possible. It’s just not very often that we’re treated to a spectacle quite like this. UPDATE: Bumped to 4 stars on rewatch. Liked it quite a bit better. All of the different characters and story arcs were much easier to follow on the second watch. Saw in IMAX 3D again but without the High Frame Rate and I think I liked the visuals more this format. There were far fewer moments that felt like a video game cutscene.
- seg__faultDecember 31, 2025Not as good as the first. Looked great but certain scenes were not as well done. Not as into the family storyline, myself, but the music was nice and just a pretty movie.
