The return to Pandora almost felt like wild life documentary of that very planet. The problem was the lack of a good script. While James Cameron is not the best writer, he at least could present a decent plot for the first part.
Here he more emphasized on natrure, lots of characters and... water, his favorite element.
But to be honest, the way he presents us his Pandora documentary is just tremendous. I have never ever seen better visual effects in my entire life. This is I think as good as it can get. The characters were absolutely 100% photo realistic. The cinematography is pitch perfect and so is the score.
Performance wise it improved a little bit from the first part. I really, really liked Zoe Sladana this time, especially in the second half she performed marvelously. Sure there is still overacting, which was a bothering factor of the first part, but it actually fits her character perfectly. I also like that Sam Worthington took some acting lessons since the first part as his performance had more edge this time and slightly improved. Love the way they brought Sigourney Weaver back and her performance was really great as well. Also Stephan Lang was not as one diemensional as the last time he visited Pandora. I also liked most of the kids. Kate Winslet was sadly underused and there is also part of her storyline that causes some problems with the screenplay, especially at the end. And like her character some come and go without any reason. I guess that will be more concluded in the next installments. Anyway for sure one film to see on the silver screen and a great blockbuster to end the year with. I preferred the first one though.
