Avatar at least had the excuse of existing to push 3D and mo-cap technology.

Not sure about Avatars 2-5...

Edit: Till 5 or more, I can't remember.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

2 completed and released with 3 more in the pipeline.

There's like three or four already out. Or something. Whatever the actual number is, I'm always amazed.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Only two out so far. The third is arriving in December.

Avatar 2 came out in '22. Same basic plot, but the water effects are stunning.

3 is completed and will be out for Christmas. 4 and 5 are in the pipeline.

(All the trailers on YouTube so far are AI Bullshit, be warned).

Avatar 4 and 5:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_4

"it is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029.[8][9] A sequel, Avatar 5, is in development and is expected to be released on December 19, 2031."

Yeah, I watched it in a 3d cinema at the time and it was a great experience. Not the pocahontas story, but the cinematics. Avatar 2 was just shit. It's like they're pretending to be a real scifi franchise by building an entire world.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Avatar was always about being a visual feast, which Avatar 2 definitely succeeded in IMO. I like them for what they are, great popcorn flicks.

[–] bl4kers@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Same thing for the sequels. Here's an article about it. Maybe it's the passage of time, but I'd say 2 is much more visually stunning than 1
