I don’t have words.
The movie is just non-stop humans being absolute colonizer monsters and the people (and creatures) of Pandora, who want to live in peace, being forced to fight back (and kicking human ass).
The movie lives and dies by it’s visual effects and by god are they incredible. Pandora is just such a beautiful world, and Cameron lets you experience it in all its beauty and unity and peace before he shows the ugly human machines and weapons kill and destroy it. You feel the pain and the righteous anger when the Navi fight back. I was cheering for every human death of which there are many.
Is the story perfect? Nah. There are points where it’s cliche etc but I don’t mind that. There is a larger story about nature and colonisation and that’s what matters so much more. Pandora is a world that can fight back because the world itself is alive and connected and god just imagine if Earth was like that.
I’m definitely gonna see it again and I’m super pumped for the sequels.

Can’t wait for the Chuddy “Humanity Fuck Yeah” memes to make the rounds and get ebic updoots on Reddit.
Humanity fucking killed their own planet you fuckhead. What the fuck is this chud on about.
There are thousands of sci-fi stories about humans killing each other (and other aliens) in space. Every time humans are the “good guys” and the military etc bs gets valorised. This is the one franchise where humans are unquestionably evil and we side with the native people.
James Cameron is so underrated as a director. Is the story better than the first one? First one was just Pocahontas with blue aliens.
Rad. I look forward to seeing it.

Ohohoho my friend, Earth is alive and is fighting back. Covid and climate change will fuck us up royally
Reminder: By taking action to protect the biosphere of this planet, we become the Earth acting in its own self defense
Ohohoho my friend, Earth is alive and is fighting back.
It’s mostly gonna kill poor and indigenous people though
:deeper-sadness:
Climate change is the genocide of the poor by the wealthy and to treat it as justified comeuppance is ecofascism
