Let me say right away: I don't consider myself a fan of this creation, and that allows me to judge the film without the stage universe created, scary to say, 17 years ago.
- Why such a huge runtime? Everything that happens on screen could easily fit into an hour and a half, or at most two hours. Even despite the fact that the screen is constantly filled with breathtaking beauty combined with professionally staged action scenes, it's still very hard to sit through (in the cinema, one young man had to go get chips and soda three times. How is that acceptable?).
- James Cameron is still the same James Cameron, whether he's 20, 30, 50, or 70 years old. He still has that boyish enthusiasm, a creative streak that hasn't been killed by the profession. He still builds megalomaniac mechanical monsters on screen, launches ships of monstrous beauty into the skies of Pandora, repeats his own scenes from 'Titanic' and both 'Terminators' (night shootouts in the light of searchlights), makes references to films he likes (in the third part, the influence of 'Mad Max' with Tom Hardy is especially noticeable), and seems to just enjoy the process.
- The fact that the third part has absolutely no plot shifts, and the main message remains the same—preserving wild places on Earth in their pristine state for future generations—has already been said by absolutely everyone. Let's hope that this is just a phase, like the Marvel universe (which was finally completed), and that new parts will bring something fresh.
- The characters in the third part haven't changed much. Except that Jake Sully has become even more like William Wallace with dreadlocks, and Colonel Quaritch has finally descended into madness and started to resemble Colonel Kurtz from 'Apocalypse Now' in Marlon Brando's legendary performance.
- Sigourney Weaver's appearance for 5 minutes in recent films (not just in 'Avatar') is either a bad sign or bad form.
