Curious to hear what you think of the film if you do watch. It's the second ever thing we've been so bored by that we just turned it off halfway through! (the other being IT Chapter 2, what is it with part twos?)
I am about an hour and 20 minutes into it. I would say that the animation is fantastic - visually it is beautiful. The sound mix is great and is really filling the room. The story is meh - I am approaching this from a 'low mental effort US action film' point of view and I think I'll be ok to watch to the end.
The thing that is bugging me the most is that they haven't even tried to come up with an alien point of view. The characters might as well be human, and American at that.
I have no idea why James Cameron thought this needed to be 3hrs long. If a film goes over 2hrs it really needs to be a mini-series.
Just the fact that you're still watching it but also on Lemmy probably speaks volumes haha
