‘Movies with “Water” in the title fare poorly. This one joins WataerWorld and “The Waterboy”.’
And let’s not forget “The Shape of Water”. Yeah, it won best picture (which has become meaningless anyway), but it was another absolutely awful film.

what do all these avatars poop?
they are all over the place riding flying animals, but there are no poop piles...
the reason native american tribes were nomadic is not so much they followed the herds, but they had to leave the area because of the stench.

I have to confess I was wondering about their sewage treatment and disposal. But then I wondered about that in Game of Thrones also.

How is it that 22nd-Century humans can travel all the way to Alpha Centauri in spaceships packed with robots and clones - but they still haven't developed glass which is strong enough to withstand a wooden arrow? And how is it that they understand natives biology well enough to transfer minds in, but can't just develop a plague to wipe them out?
Or just push an asteroid into colliding with the planet, producing a winter which will destroy all life so they can land later and strip mine in peace?

I’m rooting for the white military guys to kill all the savages.
This is what others are rooting for, right?...

I got pushed to go see ‘Billy Jack’ by a former GF. By the end I was rooting for the rednecks.

I’ll watch it when its FREE. I’ll decide for myself if it is any good.
I liked the first one. Although Sigourney Weaver was miscast for the role.

Simple: Lord Fauci is long since dead.
Or just push an asteroid into

Me personally -— I am staying away in droves from this boring eco-jive movie. I watched the first one for 20 minutes, then drifted in and out of napping for the rest of it. Those blue critters with tails are annoying.

Sort of a CGI-enhanced and updated version of
Little Big Man and
Dances with Wolves: Evil White men against noble and mainly peaceful indians.
How '70s.
