It’s an event. That’s like saying Top Gun 2 has a weak story. These aren’t films with scripts that’ll be analyzed for decades to come. They have serviceable plot that brings the spectacle of the theater experience.

Most event movies still have solid story and characters. Top gun had good characters and so it told a simple story well. Avatar did not have even that to elevate its simple plot and dialogue, purely visuals and worldbuilding.

For me the worldbuilding didn’t resonate, so I found it boring. For most, it may be enough. It certainly was last time.

I didn’t find it too engaging either. But it was just enough to make the experience a positive one. I never understood the wide appeal of the Bayformer movies, but they are massive and lucrative and I suppose it just works for the masses.
