i maintain that cameron should just have gotten david attenburough and made a kickass scifi documentary about pandora, much like how apple did with prehistoric planet
Are there scifi documentaries like that? Ones that explore fake worlds as if they’re real to basically just show off creativity and the possibilities of life on other worlds?
Shit, the only one I really remember is Neytiri (the costar). Was Loak one of the kids?
Anyway, I came out of the theater impressed by the visuals, but feeling like I couldn’t remember one important story beat. I mean, what was even the point if literally nothing changed from the beginning to end except for the locale?
Maybe it’ll make more sense as part of the series, like a music album with songs that work better when the album is played straight through.
The second one felt like an extended visual demo.
I can name 2 characters from the entire movie. And one of them was a side character. Jake Sully and Spider.
The story was inconsequential (meaning everything that happened progressed nothing) and forgettable.

Dude, that would actually be really cool.

There’s the classic “alien planet” inspired by the wayne barlowe book, which i absolutely adore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvaCH8OKdjQ
Then there’s also a series of modern alien documentaries that i cannot recall the name of, but they were also kind of eeeh so…
Check out The Future is Wild. I don’t know if it’s streaming anywhere online, but it’s a classic
Quarritch, Neytiri, Tuk, Loak, Kiri too.
