No, it's one movie split into two with filler added.

Yes, and that's a good thing.

everyone changing their mind about killing spider is terrible plot

>>176330 #
most of the movie is terrible plot. even the soy reviews I'm reading agree with it. The way of water shouldn't have been split in two. Cameron needs an editor more than George Lucas ever did.

>>176331 #
I didn't want to point out all of it. But this is especially obnoxious.
>more than lucas
not so sure

I hate that phrase.

Yes, it's in the culture. The myth of Pochantas has existed for 500 years basically.

one of the first people to be -that guy- was french. I've seen old pro-african against-french movies, I wouldn't put it past them

>>176339 #
>old pro-african against-french movies
I doubt they had the same pseudo spiritual elements though. Because native african religion is insane

The issue with the ending how much re-used imagery there is from the first but especially second movie.

Now it's going to git gud.

This woman sounds so fucking old.

What's the point of all these action scenes when nothing actually changes? It's like a marvel movie.

>>176359 #
This stupid movie shouldn't exist. 2 was split into 2 and 3.

>>176362 #
Yes, she's the only good part. The only justification for this movie is that introducing so much new stuff wouldn't work in a sequel so they split it.

I hate the prosthetics normalization

>>176360 #
I like varang tho.

I use svtav1. Used to use the psy fork too. I can't figure out the params to make avif actually look good though.

it's called 'retargeting'. most studios can't do this correctly.

Birth probably looks really groce.

It's a long story. I'll talk about it on the main thread later if you want.

This movie could have worked if it was 2 hours.

The final battle coming up is cool, visually at least.

Oh this was based on the movie? I hate her voice. She sounds like a goauld.

>>176387 #
I got the 4K version and it really doesn't look great. Most of the movie just looks worse than the way of water.

what's the anime where the aliens they're fighting are just squids or something?

>>176390 #
Suisei no Gargantia?

>>176392 #
yeah that's got to be it
trying to remember if I ever finished or if there was more

Gargantia has an awful ending. Seriously bad that ruins the whole show.

10 years ago when I saw who Cameron had writing the sequels, it was concerning then.

>>176402 #
Isn't the ending literally the evil aliens are devolved humans and killing them would be morally wrong, so we'll just bury our heads in the hand and pretend they won't kill us after scrapping the mecha?

>>176403 #
So one, they are evolved, and two, "space humans versus earth humans" is a cliche as old as space travel itself, nobody is haranguing Gundam about Spacenoids and nobody is tearing down Muv Luv for having the conflict be carbon-based lifeforms versus silicon-based. In any case, that wasn't the big central conflict of the anime.

>>176405 #
People constantly shit on gundam for rehashing the spacenoid conflict and sunrise ignoring that tomino made it up as a pacific war analogy. Dunno about muv luv since I know nothing about it outside of schwarzesmarken but the earthnoid vs spacenoid conflict is superficially about colonies trying to escape a corrupt imperial center, who are the good guys akshually because japs have a fetish for the status quo. Gargantia has humans vs "human" alien beings that Urobuchi tries to moralize about.

this would have made better vidya games

>>176405 #
I'm sstill surprised to find that muvluv got made into an anime

well that was lame

>>176406 #
>Urobuchi
>moralize
>moralize
Yeah, I can tell that you probably haven't read or consumed a lot of media where both sides are depicted as wrong. To make an analogy, the US and China both have their fucked up sides, but does that mean they should go to war and you should be conscripted into it and never question either side's propaganda? That's the message of the series in a nutshell.

>>176411 #
>you probably haven't read or consumed a lot of media where both sides are depicted as wrong
I don't care if both sides are wrong, only one is human. Grey morality doesn't automatically make something deeper.
>That's the message of the series in a nutshell
From what I remember, one side tried to exterminate the other. Only one side can dominate the planet regardless. The humans end up effectively powerless and living in fear because the MC got the power of UNDERSTANDING that plagues mecha shows like a venereal disease, probably because jap creators didn't want to see the incredibly blunt analogy Tomino made between Zeon and imperial Japan, so instead they took the message of gundam as newtypes doing space hug.

>>176411 #
that is moralizing regardless of our stance on it

>>176490 #
>So it's wryly funny that the representative of the "last bastion of humanity" is a faulty algorithm misreading a prompt.
I don't see why that matters tbh. The governing system might be wrong but it doesn't change the fact that the other side are evil pseudo-aliens.

>>176512 #
So Gargantia concludes, "let them fight." Do people concern themselves with the DRC fighting Mali or whatever? No. But again, it's funny how people are supposed to look at the robot declaring itself a god, who admits outright that the human it's supposed to be serving is dead and is demanding the humans kill each other and that the planet be flooded, and conclude that it can be trusted to have humanity's best interests in its microchip heart. And the conclusion has the Gargantians get ahold of the technology, which they can reverse engineer into a new tech ladder while their "betters" continue killing each other in their forever war and stagnating.

>>176515 #
The other robot honestly made so little impression on me that I forgot it even existed. The whole alien conflict is a dumb framing device that results in a (partly) dumb ending to make a dumb point. It's not like Urobuchi hasn't gone there before, the ending of the Psycho Pass movie is that Akane is okay with the Sibyl System because she's japanese and that's the status quo. The entire character arc of Makishima and the other one whose name I forgot exposing the fundamental problems with it is wasted.
>the conclusion has the Gargantians get ahold of the technology, which they can reverse engineer into a new tech ladder while their "betters" continue killing each other in their forever war and stagnating.
Assuming the "aliens" on earth don't kill them first...
