FWIW, I watched it in IMAX Citywalk. Was it playing in HFR ? Apparently some IMAXs are playing the movie in 24fps. To me, it reminded of exactly the same experience as Hobbit HFR. Deja vu right from the start, and the first 30 mins looked sh*t due to HFR. Things seemed better once underwater scenes started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I saw Avatar 2:the way of the water in regular cinemas in 3D as IMAX was mostly full over the last weekend. Was still blown away with the visuals. Just like the first movie, this is not high on story/plot or even characters. But I felt it was much better than it’s prequel in these aspects. Visually the movie is a benchmark, especially, the underwater sequences are breathtaking. I felt so immersed in the world of pandora for those 3 hours or so, very few movies felt this immersive to me !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
him2anshu Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Avatar 2 was full of plot holes, continuity errors and was mostly a retelling of the first movie, but it's still worth a watch just for the visuals - I might not watch it ever again but for one time watch, I would highly recommend it. It felt Cameron gave his all to this movie - it has Terminator, Aliens, Titanic vibes of course mixed with Avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, and I didn't check with them. I was pretty un-sober tbh Couldn't have sat through this other wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Booked Monday tickets for Imax Gurgaon. Was interested in trying the new ICE 3d of PVR but all the reviews I checked stated IMAX screen is still better so.. Only concern is sitting for more than 3.5 hours..

KnackChap Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Saw way of the water again today but this time with kid. Hall was filled with children and older folks. It really is the perfect family film during the holidays. Daughter also choked up during the climax so well done JC. Thinking of showing her Titanic next but need to find a censored version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're showing it at home you can do what my parents did when i was small and just tell her to close her eyes and fast forward it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Watched Glass Onion: A Knives Out story. Really fun movie, enjoyed it. But overall i like the first movie more. I think too much stuff is hidden from the audience here. Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc is a gem. Love him. Hoping to see more movies in this franchise.

dante77 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I liked Glass Onion too. Good overall movie but lacked the first part's mystery. That is why I think first one was a tad better but this was a enjoyable flick too! I liked how the first part of the movie wasn't wasted like that shitty murder on orient express 2 and it kept the script tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2 has almost doubled its US domestic earnings compared to A1 in same timespan. Add to that A2 made 435Mil globally in first weekend. Heck, even in India its crossed 200Crores already. Lastly, Cameron's films have unusually long legs (especially compared to Marvel/DC films which lately die off within 2 weeks despite big opening weekends) Has already passed 1.38 billion globally. On route to earn 2 billion and also being the highest earning Hollywood movie in India as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broksindri Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 DRISHYAM 2 SPOILERS AHEAD I actually watched both drishyam 2 .. original kerela version as well as recent remake of ajay devgan.. both are equally good. I wished Akshay khanna had more screentime, his character was such badass, i loved everytime he was on screen.. He is such a unique actor does comedy movies as well as serious roles quite nice, his 36 chinatown role was one of my favorite.. this role too was similar of solving an mystery. The climax is boring.. No way the lead actor can do all the stuff of hiding evidence and tampering etc.. police will obviously have an eagle eye on him once they found concrete proof against him in police station. Police gives him free run for 7 years then all of a sudden 1 mad police head officer opens up his file again.. makes no sense. I liked the kerela version bit more, because it had that realistic feel, like getting over drunk, neighbor wife beating violence.. over getting drunk, the dubai return producer (kerela has strong relations with gulf countries), the hindi remake is just copy paste.. they did not even try changing anything. I cant help but start having all such analyzing thoughts after watching a regular movie i mean i could let pass all the unrealistic elements in a fantasy movie.. like say Robot 2.0 - all phones joining together and making a huge vulture - does this make any sense ?- NO , is it Fun ?- YES But i cant seem to enjoy any such non fantasy regular movie with unrealistic elements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Avatar 2 us just a glorified Visual spectacle with a zero story line and absolutely nil emotional connect. Plus it's so long that we can watch 2 movies in the same time. Few people left before movie even finished. Plus 3d gave us a headache. Not going to watch another Avatar again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumar123 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 So, watched Avatar 2 finally, last night. 3 hours flew by. And thankfully, the framerate didn't bother me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggu Dada is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
