I just got out of the early morning screening (jo-jo). There were tons of people even though it was so early. Maybe because it's the last highly anticipated film of the year?
My takeaway is that I'm pretty disappointed. I don't think plot density was a strength in parts 1 or 2, so I won't even bring that up. Instead, the whole time I was watching, I kept getting the feeling: Am I watching a movie, or am I watching a 3-hour-long AAA game cinematic? If you watch a game cutscene and say, โWow, thatโs like a movie,โ thatโs a compliment, but reversing that, and thinking, โUgh, this looks like Iโm watching a game cinematic...โ that wasn't a very fun feeling.
Some people might say, 'Itโs because you didn't see it in 3D,' and I respect that, but I doubt my impressions would have changed much even if I had. Now that weโre used to the technical novelty showcased in the previous two films, I honestly don't know if <Avatar: Fire and Ash> has any sharp weapons left to capture the audienceโs attention. It was a disappointing viewing experience.
"So, how was Avatar 3? Basically, OP paid full price to watch a 3-hour AAA game cinematic. The rest of the thread agrees the franchise is losing its originality. RIP hype."
