Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Avatar Redux?
Seems like the same story, same cast, same outstanding effects, but nothing really new except the 'remake' is in the water! There is no really good explanation of how the antagonists are all in avatar Na'vi bodies, or, how the sea people can communicate with sea creatures, among other plot holes. The sequence where Sully and family 'learn' how to travel on sea 'dragons' is almost identical to how Sully had to learn how to fly with the flying creatures in the first edition of this film. It is a shame that we had to wait thirteen years for the next chapter and after three plus hours. I can honestly say that I do not think it was worth the wait.
Mr. Mercedes: Burning Man (2019)
Good but could have been so much more...
This final chapter was satisfying but the ending in the novel End of Watch was an extraordinary finale to the Bill Hodges trilogy. I was disappointed that the theme of family and how it handles death was not brought to the forefront of this 10 hour mini-series.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
A sad ending to a once great franchise
After almost falling asleep during a very slow section of the movie, I was "jostled" back to the film to see warriors on horseback attacking an Imperial Cruiser. In space. REALLY.
Really?
