    It was alright but for a standalone movie the plot felt low stakes.

    Tap for spoiler

    Final fight scene was pretty epic and felt like a manga boss battle.

        no worries, actually not that interested in the movie. just thought it would be funny to have a movie downloaded from twitter - before its release date.

        but i am sure there are many torrents already.

          There are indeed. If the studio is smart they should release the movie soon, so fans can just buy a ticket and watch it. Otherwise everybody is going to pirate it. Even the fans, since let’s face it. October is still a long time to wait.

    Is this the real thing? (just curious, I won’t actually download it - the first movie was complete garbage and I have no hopes for this one either)

      Yes, it is real. The “first” movie was the live action version that was universally hated. It was an attempt to retell the first season to The Last Airbender, but it absolutely failed in that regard. This new movie has absolutely nothing to do with it.

      This new one is a sort of bridge between the end of The Last Airbender and the start of The Legend of Korra. It’s with the main cast in their 20’s. So ~10 years after the end of ATLA, and probably 25-30 years before the start of TLOK.

      The new movie is… Alright? The animation is gorgeous, and the fight choreography definitely feels more modern and fluid. It proves that The Last Airbender would have done really well in HD+widescreen, instead of the 4:3 SD that it originally aired in. The cast is more experienced in combat, and their teamwork is much more natural. My biggest complaint is the lack of substance. The big finale fight feels fun to watch, but there is very little substance because the individual characters simply haven’t had enough screen time. It would likely work better as an extended/director’s cut, because at only 90 minutes it feels a little too short for what they were trying to accomplish. Certain parts feel rushed, and I was left wondering where the rest of the movie was when it finished.

      There’s also the whole “we already basically know how it ends, because we know how TLOK starts” problem. Since it’s a tie-in between the two series, we already know which characters come out of it and which don’t. So the stakes never really felt particularly high.

      Which first movie are you talking about? The live action one from 15 years ago? If so this one has entirely nothing to do with it

      And yes this is the real thing

      I “hear” it is exactly what the fanbase has wanted for 15 years

    Thanks, but already got it somewhere else. Probably not a great idea to post a direct link to it, though.

      I haven’t seen the full thing, but I have seen folks mention that not all the effects have been cleaned up in all scenes. Seems like it just needed some final touch ups, not like the Wolverine Origins movie a few years back where whole scenes were missing vFX.

          They mix cell animation and computer animation in most animated movies. It was really apparent in the 2000s when they started, but is much better now, although still visible.

          I think a lot of the vehicle scences in legend of korra are good examples of the “rough” animated cgi era if you want to spot the difference.
