I watched the first 2 in theaters but I don’t remember much. I’m watching the new one tomorrow. I hope I’m not lost because I don’t remember what happened in the other 2 movies
Just in a nutshell:
Earth company is trying to mine from Pandora and is in conflict with the Na'vi natives.
Jake's twin brother was a scientist, but was killed.
Since the Avatar is genetically matched, Jake can use it.
He goes to Pandora as a marine but escorts the scientists in an Avatar.
Jake meets Neyteri and becomes more like the Na'vi.
Jake sides with the natives against the RDA.
To win their trust, he must become the Tarouk Makto - rider of the Last Shadow.
They win the fight and force the RDA to leave.
Many years pass.
Jake has three children - Netayem, Lo'ak, and Tuk, plus Kiri, who is the daugher of Grace's unconcious Avatar body.
Kiri seems to have a special connection to the world and can influence life forms to some extent.
There is also Spider, the child of the Colonel who couldn't be sent away into cryosleep because babies can't tolerate it.
The RDA returns starting conflict. They are specifically targeting Jake.
Colonel Quaritch and many of his soldiers are now "Recoms" in Avatar like bodies, but with their memories hardwired in.
To protect his family Jake moves out to the sea people's land.
The kids fon't get along well at first, but evnetuall come around/
The Colonel uses a group that hunts the whale-like creatures to draw them out.
The kids are taken in as bait.
A big fight happens where Jake's oldest, Nateyem is killed.
Spider does save his "father" but does not go with him.
They are allowed to stay with the sea people despite bringing the war there.
Next up, fire people!
