Director James Cameron's long-awaited sequel is a technically brilliant but flawed followup to 2009's 'Avatar.'
feature, fans can now return to the tropical world in a cliche-ridden, overlong sequel that is a striking milestone in technical achievement but fails to soar past its predictable narrative.stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet. The eclectic cast also includes Michelle Yeoh, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, Edie Falco and Jemaine Clement.
Jump forward one year and the humans have established a sprawling industrial complex called Bridgehead City, where the revenge-fueled Colonel Quaritch's recombinant clone now commands a marine unit of avatars designed to hunt down renegade chieftain Jake Sully. When Jake becomes the target of a concentrated extermination effort, he and his family flee the hovering Hallelujah Mountains to seek sanctuary with the reef-dwelling Metkayina tribe that exists in the moon's remote cluster of islands. There they must learn the aquatic lifestyles of the green-tinted faction while engaging in adult bonding and teenage struggles and courtship.
One gnawing aspect of the all-too-familiar screenplay by Cameron and his co-writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, from a story they concocted with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno, is its constant use of current-day phrases like"Show me the money,""I've got this," and"Booyah!" We doubt any of these 21st century favorites will still be uttered 150 years from now. Perhaps this is picking nits, but it's grating nonetheless.
