Khev should make a line of Khevlar vests lol

Did a-dev OK that name? Regardless, I may have to resort to breaking out the big guns...Snyder’s forum defender is literally called T800
Going to HFR 3D later today58% drop this weekend even with the blizzards so no Maverick level of ongoing success but it still held on better than most MCU films.
$881 million global so the $1 billion break even point is assured. It won't hit that $2B to cover all the sequels in one fell swoop obviously but it'll still have a respectable tally in the end.
Now that the monkey on Cameron's back of not embarrassing himself following the highest grossing film of all time is gone I can't wait to see what he gives us next.
Going to HFR 3D later today
This movie completely craps on Thor Love and Thunder, so this is a pleasing outcome.People were laughing that Thor Love and Thunder had a bigger opening weekend than AWOW and yet after just one week:
AWOW: $881 million
Thor's entire global run: $760 million
Movie starts in 5 min wife got me on the popcorn linePeople were laughing that Thor Love and Thunder had a bigger opening weekend than AWOW and yet after just one week:

No one should have realistically thought TL&T would come close to AWOW at the global box office. It's Thor's 4th solo movie and 8th appearance overall, so between the lack of tie-in to an Infinity Stones type story line, no China release and the inevitable fatigue setting in it never was going to bank blockbuster dollars (especially after not measuring up to Ragnarok in terms of quality). In contrast, AWOW was so long overdue that fans of the original have now spawned enough offspring to guarantee its success lol...People were laughing that Thor Love and Thunder had a bigger opening weekend than AWOW and yet after just one week:

I didn't plan on watching TLAT, but on my recent trip to the USA, it was on the entertainment system and since it was a 12-hour flight, well, I made the sacrifice. I also watched Doctor Strange 2 which was better than I expected which I quite liked. TLAT was just bad though, and I really enjoyed Ragnarök.Most movies crap on TLAT (not that I've seen it). Also...
Yes, this fighter jet has new capabilities.....or did it just crash and this is another of Cameron's salvage operation movies? Does a CGI Bill Paxton show up?This film is the same as Avatar 1 as a 5th generation fighter jet is to a WW2 propeller plane.
Yes both fly but that’s where their similarities end.
Review incoming.
Woohoo!There is James Cameron then there is everyone else.
The man stands alone.
The man just understands machinery.
Lets get the technical review out of the way.
What i’m about to say is actually GOOD not bad!
You don’t need to see this in 3D.
This movie will not do to 3D what A1 did which means no resurgence.
3D was more about depth than pop out this time it ultimately was unnecessary.
HFR was more of a big deal because it’s the FIRST time we are all seeing smooth motion WITHOUT the artifacts that we get on our TV when being utilized.
The HFR was super real and vibrant and 3 dimensional in its own way and oddly enough it worked perfectly at maintaining a cinematic feel I know I KNOW crazy talk but it’s true.
I’m now Team 48 lol
So good news in the sense that seeing this in 2D Dolby Cinema with HDR AND HFR will be sufficient enough for the full immersion no need for 3D. The HDR in Dolby Cinema will more than likely make up for the loss of 3D.
The 3D is definitely more subtle than the first which is odd…
BUT that’s the thing the movie DOESN’T NEED the tech stuff as a crutch like the first one was accused of needing for it to be enjoyed it’s the quality of the STORY that drives the movie this time NOT the technology!
In 2009 the world would’ve freaked out with HFR more than with the 3D they would’ve burned the movie like a Salem witch lol
Story wise.
Had this been the first Avatar it would’ve made 4 billion not 2.9 billion lol
The characters are given much more depth and like it has been mentioned already the family dynamics is what makes this movie stronger than the first.
Yes thedeath of the older son was very emotionally impactful which is a testament to the quality of the writing and world character building.
The family stuff just worked wonders it was the driving force of the narrative such a great “FATHER” movie across the board and Neytiri was also well utilized as the center focus on the burden of purpose and grief.
Now the negatives in what really are not negatives…well maybe.
Plot wise I don’t buy that Quaritchwould’ve cared about his son enough for it to derail his mission like that. Besides when did he even have this kid I don’t remember that from the first one so I had no attachment to that relationship whatsoever and that’s a problem because the entire finale is dependent on that relationship including Spider saving his father ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also felt that it needed more Avatar vs Machine scenes. What was there was great but I desired more.
Also I question the replay ability that’s the million dollar question now isn’t it.
With that out of the way.
This movie is an improvement and a super worthy follow up and entry to a franchise that was supposedly DOA!
My son said this and TGM are his 2 favorite movies not just for this year but ever!
My son has good taste lol
If I was James Cameron I would immediately release a new poster that says:
“EVEN OTOMOFAN LIKED THIS YES THAT OTOMOFAN!”
The ball is in your court now Wor-Garvatar
