This ain't Avatar XXX 2 (4¾ Stars)

My congratulations to Axel Braun. James Cameron is still working on his sequel to "Avatar", but Axel released his sequel to "This ain't Avatar XXX" two years ago in 2012, only two years after the original film. He doesn't like to waste time. Axel said in an interview that he based his film on rumours about what James Cameron's "Avatar 2" would be about and attempted to make a film that would fit in between the two. We'll have to wait to see whether this has succeeded.

As I pointed out in my review of the original film, Axel used an unusual film structure, making it not a standalone film but a series of scenes threaded between the scenes of "Avatar". This new film doesn't follow any such revolutionary path. It's a simple linear story.

The film begins with Jake Sully being held in a cage after falling into disfavour with the Na'vi at the end of the first film. In the cages surrounding him are other women who look human, but are all mute. After being tortured by two Na'vi women -- a torture he seems to enjoy -- he's taken to a Na'vi doctor for experiments. The Na'vi are able to repair the broken limbs of their own people using healing treatments based on the powers of the forest. The doctor wants to see if it's possible to repair Jake's legs, and she succeeds. After that he's sent back to his cage, but healing him was evidently a foolish decision; he is able to break out, and he flees with three of the women.

Compared with Axel's other films, there is very little story to this film. Nevertheless, it's one of his best films. The production quality is first class, and all the forest scenes look magical. The appearance of the Na'vi is just as realistic as in James Cameron's film. As a work of pornography, it's the most erotic film Axel has ever made. As long as you're not put off by blue bodies.

Let's finish off by looking at this embarrassing blunder in the final screen at the end of the film. How could a director of Axel Braun's stature slip up like this? It's downright disgraceful!
