I'm yet to watch the movie (reconsidering after reading this), but now I have to ask: does the sequel involve humans, and if yes, does it explain why the original antagonists didn't do the obvious thing, which is to drop a thermobaric bomb on that stupid tree, or otherwise sterilize the whole area from orbit, and then get back to their mining operations?

The plot of the movie is that a human wants to kill the Avatar who killed him in the first movie. Except dead-human got reanimated as an Avatar creature.

That's the first 5 minutes so it's not really a spoiler.

There are other humans, but they're just assistants to the revenge-fest.

The main driver of the plot is revenge, the 'we want resources from planet Avatar' isn't a main plot point, or at least it's not what the story is about - it's about one man/Avatar's bloodlust against another Avatar (and kill anyone who gets in the way Rambo style)

If you liked the first one you'll probably like the second one too.

It sounds like the GP probably hadn't seen an avatar movie before?

We watched them back to back over two days.

The first movie had a romantic couple and lots of characters exploring the beauty of Avatar and discovering it's world.

It felt like that part was missing from Avatar 2.
