It looks good but that’s it. Story is near identical to the second one and they’ve somehow made a vibrant and fleshed out world seem flatter and more one dimensional than ever. Pandora used to feel like this massive and deep backdrop that was a character in and of itself but now it’s just, like, an “alien” planet with no wonder or depth. The writing is garbage and the characters are ridiculous. Again, the visuals are, as always, incredible. Not worth the three-hour time commitment, though.

This show makes zero sense. The writing is terrible, the acting is weak, and the pacing makes it feel like nothing ever happens. It clearly has a good budget as the effects are well done, but just about everything else is awful. From predictable, cringe-worthy lines to completely illogical character reactions or unrealistic physics this show will be a non-stop parade of disappointments. Even if you really like alien movies, this show is not for you. The actual alien action is diluted so much with half thought out “character development” that the payoffs are never worthwhile.

Lame and predictable. Oscar bait that never got the training wheels taken off. Like Crash but for people who couldn't quite figure out Crash. A vapid effort at synthesizing depth. A beautiful, yet insipid, portrait of everyone's daily life.

If you like to think about what the future might be like, this movie is for you. Throughout this movie lots of questions come up about love, the human experience, technology, and relationships. Enjoy the questions as much as you do the movie because both are part of what makes this piece of work great.

Similarly to how ever two years or so there's a new iPhone that comes out which has a feature that you "must have," there is a female coming of age film made every few years or so that's better than the previous ones. This one is like that. Its incremental improvements over the last female coming of age movie are good and merit the film being seen. Don't expect to be blown away. Good acting, good writing. The directing is out of a can, but that's fine. Nice colors.

Terrific writing, acting, and directing. A movie that captures the experience of being a middle class white person in America in the 20-teens perfectly. The stakes are never high, but there is often a slight feeling of tension and stress. This movie is felt as much as it is seen.

If you want to feel refined and artsy then this is a good movie to watch. Cinematic, compelling, and vibrant. The director did a good job with pacing this movie along. Doesn't move too slow, and definitely doesn't move too quick.

Decent enough film about one man's drive for exploration and defying everyone around him. Kind of inspiring, kind of "ugh... just stop." Mostly good, though.

Good acting and interesting idea, but this film is dry like the Sahara. Bring a couple drinks if you intend to watch the full thing.

A captivating and phenomenal look into the intersection between east and west, family and self, modernity and tradition. If you are mildly interested in China or have ever thought, "really?" about your family, this film is for you.
