Avatar: Fire and Ash made $1.4 billion at the box office but is still seen, by some, as a disappointment -- now Disney is taking a hard look at further sequels.
Humm well now I feel like I’m missing out a bit and should probably watch it for the eye candy at least and put the story and main characters in the back of my mind. I would watch something like that, like Planet Earth with Attenborough except on an alien planet, it would be fun.
Yeah I would love a version of Discovery Channel’s Alien Planet but with much better science writing and that focused on explaining interesting reoccurring patterns in ecosystems in evolution on earth through the lens of a fictionalized yet scientifically sound vision of a somewhat plausible alien ecosystems.
I even loved the idea of the cute robot that serves as a sort of simple plot about what happens to it as it explores. Does it avoid danger or get ensared in it?
The plot would not be the focus though, I am thinking Tarkovsky’s Stalker levels of visual and elemental expansiveness but in a genuinely entirely scifi context.
Something like Scavenger’s Reign but less obsessed with human violence and more just focused on the experience of a vibrantly portrayed alien ecosystem.
Like Mad Max: Fury Road but with cool animals instead of cool post apocalyptic cars and motorcyles… ok maybe I am stretching the metaphor too far here.

I guess I want a sciencey Over The Garden Wall but without any easy plot explainer at the end.
