I don't get it. How you can give this movie a one or two star review with such stunningly beautiful visuals. They are worth 3 stars alone. Some you haven't seen ever again before, so it's worth watching for that alone. I remember some viewers gave Avatar 2, 6 stars reviews for the effects alone, so this one deserves a fair appointment of those too.

The story has more flaws than the first movie, but not to the extent you want to turn off your TV. The actors again perform a decent job and all are back in this one. I again, liked the thoughtful messages shared, the moral lessons provided and the subtle jokes made. Actually, the story writer/director got more courageous with his jokes in this one and wanted to create a more lightweight atmosphere.

Then, spoilers alert...

With the recent hype of Artificial intelligence, it's astonishing how well made this movie portraits the danger of it becoming a controlling force. Here, the Alien AI decides, that to limit casualties, Julia who knows too much and has developed powers through the bracelet, has to die. The AI uses every trick, from voice imitation, media manipulation to using humans who got brainwashed to achieve its goal. When this fails, the AI becomes a War machine in brute force style, controlling water...

I found this one to be entertaining popcorn kino and didn't felt bored at all. Sure, it could have been done better, but have you seen the recent Hollywood productions?
