It quickly becomes a tired and overused plot device to move the story along.

It seems almost every drama and conflict is initiated by Neteyam (Jamie Flatters) and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton) disobeying Jake. He just saves one people at the expense of others. Jake is depicted as virtuous and brave as he decides to leave the forest to protect his people from Quaritch, but he has no problem in seeking sanctuary with the water people and putting them in danger. However, they retain their marine get-up and weapons (which makes them stick out like a sore thumb), and their tactics used to flush Jake out, consists of them laying siege to Na'vi villages, torturing and killing the villagers, and then setting said villages aflame. Moreover, the whole point of them coming back to Pandora as Na'vi was to infiltrate the world and get closer to Jake to kill him. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and his marines are supposedly deadly and well-trained, but they pretty much lose every conflict, no matter how big or small, that they're engaged in. Spider just exists as a weak conduit to humanise Quaritch. Jack Champion (Spider) cannot act, and his character is both annoying and pointless. There are moments where the animation looks a little janky. At least an hour could have been shaved off, especially with the boring teen-melodrama between the Jake's kids and the water tribes' kids. The run-time is far too long, and the script definitely isn't expansive enough to effectively fill out the 3 hour runtime. Plot-wise, this film was pretty much a rehashing of the first one as the evil humans come to conquer Pandora, but are beaten back by the virtuous Na'vi's. The strong emphasis on family, and the importance to said family, is refreshing and a positive message to take away. There are some entertaining action sequences that are engaging. There are some touching scenes when it came to Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) caring for their family, and teaching them to care for each other. This film definitely serves as a love letter from James Cameron (Director) to the ocean. For the most part, the movie has exceptional visuals and produces some stunning scenes, especially in the water.
