Beautiful. Not only was it Visually stunning it was a touching movie
Spoiler: yes, there are moments that mirror the first film like the Awakening of Quaritch and Jake in Avatar Bodies and the scene where Jakes son almost gets eaten by wildlife and hids in the reef parallels Jakes scene in the first film and I think all the parallels are done on purpose because (water reflects) anyhow I think the ending might make the second film slightly superior to the first.
