It's fantasy, but it heavily relates to real life. I didn't like the fight scenes much. I just liked being around hometree and such. Climbing the floating rocks was my favorite part. Or maybe the first night under bioluminescence. Very powerful, but without weapons.
Perhaps... but if the entire film was that, I think not only would it not have been anywhere near as successful as a mainstream audience will get bored, but there would be no conflict, no message... It wouldn't have affected many of us anywhere near as much as it did.

Another couple things. First, don't worry about Avatar 2 taking place in a room, and just dialog. This is Cameron.
That is a British institution called sarcasm
I know it won't be THAT bad, but I'm still worried...

Secondly, the reason I suspect so many of you loved Avatar was because of the emotions, Pandora, Neytiri, Jake, the nights, the animals. Less fighting means more of those. We're not losing anything here. Plus, I recon there will be another massive battle. The second might lead to the third, like in Lord of the Rings. Overall, I wouldn't worry about it. If the sequel is simply dialog, then the dialog is taking place on Pandora. Even the most boring possible thing is going to be awesome.
So you didn't think that some of the strongest emotion came from there?
It did for me...

Just the pure epicness of Jake as Toruk Makto and then gathering the Na'vi clans for battle...
Seze
Trudy and Tsu'tey dying...
Neytiri...

"EYWA HAS HEARD YOU!!!!"

Then, of course... "I See you"...

Sure, the rest of the film is beautiful, and it's still the only film I've ever even FELT LIKE crying about, let alone actually doing so... But without that, I wouldn't have anywhere near as much
