"But they must quickly set their grief aside to handle a new threat from Jake's returning enemy, Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), a human who died in the first film and was resuscitated in Na'vi form - but still fights for the species known to the Na'vi as the "Sky People." Quaritch finds an ally in Varang (Oona Chaplin), leader of the Mangkwan, a tribe of ash-covered, fire-wielding Na'vi rebels enamored with the Sky People's shiny guns."
"If this plot sounds ludicrous to you, congratulations: You just saved yourself over three hours because, all these years later, you are still not the target audience for Cameron's fantastical treatise on the human destruction of natural beauty and wonder, the latest installment of which he co-wrote with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, based on a story they created with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno."
Jake Sully and Neytiri mourn their eldest child Neteyam and must move past grief to face Col. Miles Quaritch, resurrected in Na'vi form and still fighting for the human "Sky People." Quaritch allies with Varang and the Mangkwan, an ash-covered, fire-wielding Na'vi faction attracted to human weaponry. The film runs over three hours and emphasizes environmental destruction, spectacle, and worldbuilding. The narrative often feels unfocused and functions as a direct continuation of the previous installment rather than a standalone story. The production showcases ambitious visuals and deepens emotional ties to Pandora despite storytelling flaws.
