You always wonder about the sequel. Will it live up to the magic of the first movie? The answer is yes. The world of Pandora has a wonderful tapestry to explore. The ocean scenes are incredible and that sense of wonder is still there. The story is basic, but it's beautiful. I will admit that I shed a tear or two. There's one part that is disturbing and horrifying because it all relates to real time planet Earth as well. Watching that particular scene was rough for the audience, but it's also the truth minus the sci-fi component. Overall and beautiful and nail biting event until the end. Make sure you use the bathroom before watching the movie:) Worth the $$$
