I give it 5/10 because, this 5 stars are for technical side. Movie has amazing effects, especially if you're watching it in 3D. It's visually beautiful, however I'm not giving rest 5 stars because of its narrative and agenda. Movie portraits us - humankind as evil, conquering race and simply bad. Yes, sure, we humans made a lots of mistakes in the past and we're not perfect, but we're not that bad and we do a lot of great and kind things as well, but people in Hollywood (those liberals) want us to hate ourselves, to feel guilty, to say how bad we are. Those people who push this agenda, they're obssessed with self-hatred and humilation. They're the one who want to divide people. We even hear in movie how those tribal aliens are calling us "pink-asses" and how they hate us. I think we all know what's happening here folks, it's a same leftist narrative and their propaganda.

The first film is a classic and really made 3D movies a thing again. This one brought back that magic just like the original in that it was another roller coaster adventure. The score was terrific, almost as good as the first one. The vibes are dark, dark, and emotional, but strong character builds made for a fantastic plot line execution. Disney fan service was notably fine-tuned and props for that one. The level of real-world issues is turned up to the max, similar to Cameron’s big ones (Terminator, Aliens, Titanic), but an epic trilogy just like the original Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, so tons of strong biblical and spiritual tones.

I suppose when you tell us all in advance that this is only going to be part three of a franchise, we can’t be surprised when the story doesn’t really go anywhere. Well here there isn’t really much of a story at all, just an extension of the last outing with a denouement that almost exactly duplicates “The Way of Water” from 2022. “Jake” and “Neytiri” are having to come to terms with the aftermath of that battle, and she is having quite a bit of difficulty with “Spider” (Jack Champion) whom she would sooner just kill than have hanging about. Meantime, the warlike “Varang” - who could give Boudicca a run for her money, is leading her “Mangkwan” people on a quest to take over the place from the more peaceable elements of the "Na’vi”. Finally, the avatar of colonel “Quaritch” is doing the bidding of general “Ardmore” (Edie Falco) whilst trying to reunite with his lad (“Spider”). Now Mr. Cameron clearly hasn’t made enough money from these to enable that young man to get some decent batteries for the mask that enables him to breath on this blue planet, and that soon presents problems for him and his friends as their indigenous and visiting enemies hit on a plan to co-operate and not only recapture “Jake” but also harvest a fairly substantial supply of the elixir generated by the mighty “Tulkun” when pretty much their entire species assemble for a gathering in a fairly indefensible cove. As usual, “Lo’ak” proves to be a law unto himself, but possibly his bond with “Payakan” as well as the human over-reliance on their technology might help the “Na’vi” to convince their goddess “Eywa” to help out before they are all eliminated. Aside from the introduction of “Varang”, there is not really very much to differentiate this from the other films. There is plenty of action; the reliance on the symbiotic relationship between the people and their neurally-connected planet is further developed and I thought the thrust of the story more placed in the hands of the youngsters as “Jake” and “Neytiri” give way to more from “Lo’ak”, “Spider” and the magnificent sea creatures. There’s no doubting that this is theatrical cinema at it’s best, it’s just a bit too repetitious. There are only so many out of the frying pan into the fire scenarios - captured, rescued, captured again… - before the story starts to run out of oomph. Champion again reminded me of 1940s vine-swinger Johnny Sheffield as he energetically represents the human race throughout but otherwise I found the characterisations all a bit lacklustre as the visuals do almost all of the heavy lifting. It’s a thing of beauty to watch on a big screen with Simon Frenglen delivering a rousing and sweeping score, but at over three hours long I did struggle a little to stay engaged and are we really any nearer an original line for the plot of 2029’s adventure?
