Saw Avatar 2 on IMAX yesterday, thought it looked visually impressive. Yet for all the ground breaking special effects, you could tell the story on a postage stamp.
Acting wise, Sigorney Weaver is terrific as a naavi girl. Stephen Lang is back at the big bad, but it's not really a patch on his performance in the original.
The sequel has the same strengths and weaknesses as the original, an awful lot of time with the characters marvelling at their stunning environment, I'm a fan, but I suspect haters will hate.
A word on a making of featurette that was on before the movie. It was the filming of a stunt on the new Mission Impossible.
Tom Cruise parachuting into a rocky gorge . Off a motorbike. That he's just ridden off a big fuck off cliff on a huge built up ramp.
Even thinking about it gives me vertigo, utterly amazing!!!!
