back to the movie, it was in some scene moving, I didn't know that, when you see all those colours, in that marvellous forest, all that gloomy fungos... that hitted me and I feel moved, it was a very beautiful sensation :) who knows how it was with the 3D glasses

She's a lot hotter in that picture than, well, basically any time I've ever seen her ever.
I think you mean to say that she looks much less hideous in that picture than any time you've ever seen her. Or that's what I would've meant to say.

I know Faf. Why so serious?
The funny thing is i have heard the same story, from professors. The difference is the genetic basis is always said to be xy genotype, which is not the same as the snopes article and is also much more believable given her looks.

Nice film... but not more than nice. The idea isn't original, and I don't think that film can't make people to think about common understanding with nature and etc. I prefer more complicated films, with idea is difficult to understand. But visually film is amazing, really cool.

Try to see this in a normal theatre for a proper 24fps filmic experience. I'm stuck because at my local cinema there's only HFR screenings.
Newest trailer, BTW:

-The writing was far from perfect, but it was perfectly coherent. No better or worse than the first film's. For the most part plot threads aren't forgotten and come together at the end. Remember Unobtainium, the unexplained McGuffin from the first film? Never mentioned in this film.
-Characterisation wasn't malicious. No post-modernist bullshit like taking legacy characters and making them broken husks of their former selves, a la Luke in The Last Jedi.
-The same type of Duplo brick environmentalism commentary as the first film. It was a natural part of the story, not a lecture on real world issues.
-The 48fps HFR scenes were jarring. Made the CGI effects look much faker. Probably the easiest way to view the film completely at 24fps will be to watch it in 1080p, since 4K supports up to 60fps.
-Zero wokeness. As in the first film, both sexes are portrayed as equals. A core pillar of the story is traditional family bonds and strong parental figures of both sexes. Men aren't shat upon.
-The pacing is perfectly fine. Despite the film's one run time, it never felt like a drag.
Hopefully the story arc started here gets resolved in the 3rd film, because I seriously doubt that the 4th and 5th films will get made. This will film probably flop, but at least the 3rd has already been made.
The quality bar for most stuff out of modern Hollywood is so low, that mediocre stuff like this film series seems amazing by comparison. Truly is a sad state of affairs.

Saw the second film at the weekend and although I agree with some points, I just can't agree with the pacing. It felt like a long film that could have benefited from losing around 30 minutes or so. It's not that any one specific scene was egregiously overlong, there was just a general lack of pace that felt at times was an excuse to show off the filming / CGI. I never quite bought into the hype of the first film so to me it was more of the same - enjoyable enough but not a revolution.
I am also perfectly happy that films have major plot holes but some of the ones in this film were particularly bad. Near the end of the film, the hero family (who have limited underwater ability) are trapped under a ship with limited air left. The underwater tribe that they've travelled with appear to completely abandon them to this fate and are absent for this portion of the film. There's no particularly hostility between the family and the tribe at this point - they seem happy to accept them shortly afterwards. Also, when the hero family go into exile the main antagonist could have done nothing and their goal would have been achieved. Jake Sully was by that point not attempting any sort of rebellion or counter-offensive against the colonists. The amount of effort expended in tracking him down had zero benefit other than to drive the plot forward. The antagonist wouldn't have necessarily known this and obviously had his own agenda but given the real reason the colonists had returned it made no sense to even engage in him in the first place.
Annoyances aside, it's still worth a watch but make sure you have a comfortable seat to watch it in.
