"I see you"
This film once more immerses the viewer within the planet of Pandora, with the movie itself far more of a.direct sequel to 'The Way of Water' than that movie was to the original.

As such, we're more following the Sully kids (including their adopted human son, Spider) than Jake Sully or Neytiri themselves as a new Na'vi nihilist clan - the Ash, who live near a volcano and reject Ayawa - are introduced, showing a side to Na'vi culture that has previously been missing in that not all clans live in peace and harmony with each other.

I've read some criticisms that say this is largely a repeat of 'Fhe Way of Water' and - while there is some truth to that - this still is largely it's own film, although it does assume the viewer is familiar with the previous films (and tests their bladder control somewhat).

"I think the greatest film of all time. It doesn’t even care about anything. It has the best MacGuffin. The audiences in the west — if you’re going to transfer somebody from one place to the other, you want to spend all the money on the big gadgets that do all of the — as Monty Python says “the machines that go BING” kind of stuff. Whereas in La Jetée, just two guys lie down on a hammock, they drug intravenously, and they go, “Voila! We’re in the future.” I just love that. It’s just a Macguffin in a different culture, the different time — they’re used to different things. And for me, having traveled a lot, I always have to find out — when you show a movie to people they just say, “Would you buy this?” That’s one of the reasons you have origin films — like Superman or whatever — that takes so long in the west whenever you start to originate one, because you have to set up that this guy can fly because he is from another planet, has a nemesis, you can make him grounded when you give him kryptonite, and all that stuff. You watch a Hindi movie, and they just say, “Hey this guy can deflect a bullet with his ring because he is [Indian film actor] Amitabh Bachchan, so next question.” Literally, it is all about what each culture takes — to take as a MacGuffin and where they want the money spent. And La Jetée just doesn’t care. It’s got the greatest story and the movie — the images don’t even move except in one particular instance — I don’t want to spoil it for someone who hasn’t seen it. But it is just one of the greatest. It was made the year I was born, I was obsessed with it forever and when Terry Gilliam made 12 Monkeys I knew it was done."
