11:35Ah!
11:35Whoa, whoa, whoa!
11:36What are you, Chahi?
11:37Ah!
11:37Ah!
11:40Ah!
11:42Ah!
11:44Ah!
11:51Uh!
11:55Ah!
12:02Ah...
12:03¿Qué es un truco?
12:06Ten cuidado con lo que quieres hacer.
12:09Vamos a hablar dentro.
12:16¿Qué es lo que te va a hacer?
12:25¿Qué es lo que te va a hacer?
12:30Hauntseme.
12:33Courage.
12:34Moncloire.
12:36Courage.
12:38The witch.
12:39Where is she going?
12:43No wait.
12:44Take me there.
12:47Join the party.
12:53Go.
12:58Vancouver.
13:06No, no, no, no.
13:18No.
13:32Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33¿Qué voy a hacer?
13:39¿Cómo estás, mierda?
13:43Hey, chicos.
13:45Hoy estamos volviendo a la belleza de la belleza y la belleza de Pandora,
13:50a la exploración de la saga de la saga de la guerra, la sangre y la sangre.
13:54Yo he puesto un montón de trabajo en estos,
13:56asà que si te gustan lo que ve, un like y un like se les dañan siempre.
14:00No te preocupes si no.
14:01We are picking up right where the watery chaos left off,
14:05but instead of refreshing ocean breezes,
14:07we are heading straight into the furnace.
14:10Jake Sully is still doing his best to be the ultimate dad of the year,
14:13while simultaneously managing a planetary insurgency,
14:17which is a resume booster if I ever saw one.
14:20After the tragic loss of Netion,
14:22the Sully family is trying to find some semblance of peace,
14:25but peace on Pandora is about as common as a quiet day in a construction zone.
14:30The world is changing,
14:32and the blue horizon is turning a dusty, suffocating gray.
14:44Meanwhile, Spider is caught in the middle.
14:46He is still with the Navi,
14:47but the shadow of his father, Khorich, looms large.
14:50Khorich is back, of course,
14:52but he is different now.
14:53He is more animalistic,
14:54his recombinant body scarred and weathered.
14:57He has been tracking the Sully's through the volcanic wastes,
14:59using the RDA's new thermal imaging tech.
15:01There's a scene where Spider finds a hidden RDA cache
15:04and almost uses a radio to call for help,
15:07but then he hears the sound of a Navi flute and stops.
15:10The conflict in his eyes is palpable.
15:12He doesn't know where he belongs,
15:14and the Ash people certainly don't make him feel welcome.
15:17They see him as a hairless monkey,
15:19a remnant of the Sky People that should have been discarded long ago.
15:22The middle of the film is dominated by the RDA Vassault
15:25on a sacred site known as the Hearth of Ewa.
15:28This is a massive crystalline structure
15:30located inside an active volcano
15:32where the Ash people connect to the planetary network.
15:34The RDA wants the crystals for their energy conductivity.
15:37The battle is a masterclass in sensory overload.
15:41The roar of the RDA's heavy bombers
15:42competes with the screams of the banshees.
15:44We hear the metallic clink of spent shell casings hitting the rock
15:48and the whoosh of flamethrowers clearing the paths.
15:51The Ash people fight with a ferocity
15:52that makes the Omatakaia look like pacifists.
15:55They use bombs made of volcanic glass
15:57and spears tipped with burning resin.
15:59It is a chaotic, fiery mess
16:01that leaves the landscape looking even more desolate.
16:04During the chaos, Neytiri goes on a rampage.
16:07She is still fueled by her grief,
16:08and she becomes a shadow in the smoke,
16:10picking off RDA soldiers with terrifying precision.
16:14The thwip of her bow is followed
16:15by the wet thud of arrows finding their mark.
16:18She is not fighting for the planet anymore.
16:20She is fighting for revenge.
16:21This creates a rift between her and Jake,
16:24who is still trying to find a way to minimize the loss of life.
16:26Their arguments are loud and painful,
16:28echoing through the stone halls of the Ash People's City.
16:31It is a reminder that war doesn't just kill people,
16:34it erodes the bonds that hold families together.
16:37One of the most interesting world-building details
16:39is the introduction of the magma whales.
16:41These are massive, armored creatures
16:42that live in the subterranean lava rivers.
16:44They are the volcanic equivalent of the Tolkien,
16:47but they are not peaceful.
16:48They are territorial and incredibly powerful.
16:51The Ash People use them as living battering rams
16:53to collapse RDA tunnels.
16:55The sound of a magma whale breaching the surface
16:57is like a mountain exploding.
16:59The low-frequency rumble vibrates through the theater seats,
17:02making you feel the sheer power of the creature.
17:04We get a sequence where Loak and Garak
17:06have to tame one of these beasts
17:08by harmonizing with its internal rhythm.
17:10It is a dangerous, pulse-pounding scene
17:12that highlights the unique ecosystem of the volcanic north.
17:15The RDA's new commander, a man named Henderson,
17:18is a pragmatist.
17:20He doesn't care about the beauty of Pandora
17:22or the spiritual connection of the Na'vi.
17:24To him, the planet is just a resource to be exploited.
17:27He introduces the cinder gas,
17:29a chemical weapon that reacts with the volcanic ash
17:32to create a suffocating cloud of toxic smoke.
17:35We see the horrific effects of this weapon on the local flora,
17:38which withers and turns to black dust in seconds.
17:41The sound of the gas canisters popping
17:43and the hissing of the escaping vapor is chilling.
17:46It is a grim reminder of the technological superiority of the humans
17:50and their willingness to destroy everything to get what they want.
17:53As the RDA pushes closer to the heart of the volcanic region,
17:57the ash people are forced to make a desperate choice.
17:59Varang proposes a plan to trigger a massive eruption
18:02that would wipe out the RDA's northern base,
18:04but also destroy several nearby Na'vi villages.
18:07Jake is horrified by the idea, but the ash people are desperate.
18:11They believe that fire is the only way to purge the sickness
18:14that the sky people have brought.
18:16This leads to a three-way conflict.
18:18The RDA trying to secure the resource,
18:20the ash people trying to burn it all down,
18:22and Jake's family trying to find a middle ground
18:24that doesn't involve mass extinction.
18:26The climax of the movie takes place at the forge of the ancestors,
18:29a massive open pit of lava where the final confrontation occurs.
18:33The visuals here are stunning,
18:35with the orange glow of the magma reflecting off the gray skin of the ash people
18:39and the polished metal of the RDA suits.
18:41The choreography of the fight is brutal.
18:44We see Jake in a salvaged amp suit,
18:46fighting a duel with Korich who was riding a scorched-winged banshee.
18:50The crunch of metal on metal and the crockle of electrical shorts fill the air.
18:54It is a high-stakes battle where one wrong move
18:57means falling into the molten rock below.
18:59Kiri finally understands her visions during this battle.
19:02She realizes that Ewa is not just a peaceful forest spirit,
19:06but a force of nature that includes the destructive power of the volcano.
19:10She uses her connection to tap into the geothermal energy of the planet,
19:14causing the ground to erupt beneath the RDA's heavy tanks.
19:17The sound of the earth splitting open is a deafening roar
19:20that drowns out the sounds of combat.
19:22It is a moment of pure, raw power that shows just how much Kiri has grown.
19:27But it also leaves her drained and vulnerable,
19:29highlighting the cost of such a deep connection to the planet.
19:32In the heat of the final battle, Spider makes his choice.
19:36He sees Korich about to deliver a killing blow to Jake and intervenes,
19:40not by fighting, but by destroying the control unit for the RDA's Reaper drones.
19:45This causes the drones to malfunction and crash into the RDA's own lines.
19:49It is a subtle but impactful moment.
19:51Spider doesn't become a hero in the traditional sense,
19:54but he rejects the legacy of his father.
19:56The explosion of the drone control hub is a spectacular pyrotechnic display,
20:01with blue and white sparks raining down like fireworks over the orange lava.
20:05The ending of the battle is bittersweet.
20:07The RDA is driven back, and the Bridgehead North facility is destroyed,
20:11but the volcanic landscape is left even more scarred.
20:14The Ash people have lost their sacred hearth,
20:16and many of their warriors have fallen.
20:18Varong looks at the destruction and finally shows a flicker of respect for Jake,
20:23acknowledging that perhaps the forest dwellers have some steel in them after all.
20:26But the alliance is fragile.
20:28The Ash people are not going to join the Omadakaya or the Metkaina.
20:32They will remain in their scorched lands,
20:34a dark reminder of what happens when the balance of nature is pushed too far.
20:38The film ends with a quiet moment between Jake and Neytiri.
20:42They are sitting on a ridge,
20:44watching the sun set through a haze of smoke and ash.
20:46The colors are beautiful, but tragic,
20:49a mix of deep violets and angry reds.
20:52They don't talk much.
20:53They don't need to.
20:54They are tired,
20:55and the weight of their journey is visible in their slumped shoulders.
20:59Jake reflects on how fire can be used to forge something new,
21:02or to turn it into ash.
21:04He realizes that the war for Pandora is no longer just about survival.
21:08It is about what kind of world will be left when the smoke finally clears.
21:13The world-building continues to expand the lore of the Navi.
21:16We learn about the ways of the ash,
21:18a set of laws that govern the volcanic tribes.
21:20These laws are much harsher than the song chord of the forest tribes.
21:24They emphasize strength, resilience,
21:26and the willingness to sacrifice the few for the many.
21:29This creates a moral complexity that the previous movies locked.
21:32You can understand why the ash people are the way they are.
21:35They aren't villains.
21:36They are the product of their environment.
21:38The RDA's cinder gas is finally neutralized in a clever way.
21:42Kiri discovers that a certain type of volcanic moss absorbs the toxin and converts it into oxygen.
21:47She manages to spread the spores using the thermal updrafts from the volcano,
21:51creating a green wave that purifies the air.
21:54The visual of the green moss rapidly spreading over the scorched rock is stunning.
21:58It is a moment where nature fights back, not with violence, but with biology.
22:02The sound of the moss growing is a fast rustling sound that fills the speakers.
22:07The film also addresses the environmental impact of the war on Pandora's atmosphere.
22:11The massive amount of smoke and ash released during the battles starts to cause a volcanic winter,
22:16where the temperature drops and the bioluminescence of the forest begins to fade.
22:20This adds a ticking clock to the narrative.
22:23If the war doesn't end soon, the entire planet's ecosystem could collapse.
22:26It raises the stakes from a local conflict to a global catastrophe.
22:31In one of the quieter moments, Jake and Loak have a heart-to-heart while repairing their gear.
22:35Jake tells Loak that he is proud of him, not because he is a great warrior, but because he has
22:40a good heart.
22:41It is a simple, effective scene that resolves some of the tension between father and son.
22:45The sound of the whetstone against the knife and the crackle of the small campfire
22:49provides a grounded, intimate backdrop to their conversation.
22:52It reminds us why we care about these characters in the first place.
22:55The character of Varong is a highlight.
22:58She has played with a fierce intensity that makes her a worthy foil for Jake and Niteri.
23:02She doesn't have the noble, savage tropes that have been criticized in the past.
23:06She is a political leader, a military commander, and a grieving mother all at once.
23:11Her motivations are clear, and her actions, while extreme, are logical within her worldview.
23:15She represents the fire of the title, a force that can warm you or burn you, depending on how you
23:20treat it.
23:20The RDA's Reaper drones are finally defeated in a massive aerial dogfight.
23:25The Na'vi use the volcanic heat to their advantage,
23:28baiting the drones into dead zones where the air is too thin for their rotors to work.
23:32The sight of dozens of drones falling from the sky like metallic rain is a great visual payoff.
23:37The sound of the drones crashing and exploding against the rocks is a rhythmic boom, boom, boom that punctuates the
23:42victory.
23:42The film also explores the idea of avatar technology from the Na'vi perspective.
23:48The Ash people are fascinated and repulsed by Jake.
23:51They see his body as a hollow shell and wonder if his soul is truly Na'vi,
23:56or if it is just a human ghost haunting a blue body.
23:59This leads to some profound questions about identity and what it means to belong to a culture.
24:04Is it about your blood, or is it about the choices you make?
24:07Jake has to prove that his soul is Na'vi, not through a ritual,
24:11but through his willingness to die for a people that aren't even his own.
24:15The cinematography uses a lot of high-contrast lighting.
24:18The deep blacks of the volcanic rock and the brilliant oranges of the lava
24:22create a look that is very different from the soft, diffused light of the forest,
24:26or the bright, saturated colors of the ocean.
24:29It gives the film a more cinematic, dramatic feel.
24:32Every frame looks like a painting.
24:34The use of slow motion during the action scenes
24:36allows the audience to appreciate the choreography
24:39and the detail of the costumes and creatures.
24:42The sound of the Na'vi language is also more varied in this film.
24:46The Ash people speak with a harsher, more guttural accent
24:49that reflects the roughness of their environment.
24:51We hear more of the technical side of the language,
24:53with words for things like geothermal pressure and basalt formation.
24:57It adds to the sense that this is a fully realized culture
25:00with its own unique history and knowledge.
25:03As the credits approach, we see the Sully family preparing to leave the volcanic region.
25:08They aren't going back to the reef or the forest.
25:10They are becoming nomads, traveling across Pandora
25:13to unite the different tribes against the RDA.
25:16It sets up the next movie perfectly,
25:19giving the characters a new mission
25:20and a reason to explore even more of the planet.
25:22The final shot is of the entire family flying their banshees into a rising sun
25:27that is finally clear of smoke.
25:30The music swells into a triumphant, hopeful theme
25:33that leaves the audience feeling inspired.
25:36The world-building in the final act includes a glimpse of other regions of Pandora.
25:40We see maps and ancient carvings that hint at ice tribes in the south
25:44and desert tribes in the west.
25:46It expands the scope of the universe,
25:48making Pandora feel like a truly vast and diverse world.
25:51It leaves you wanting more,
25:53eager to see what other wonders and dangers the Sully family will encounter.
25:57The fire in this movie is not just a special effect.
26:01It is a symbol.
26:02It represents the destructive power of war,
26:05but also the transformative power of change.
26:08The ash represents the past,
26:10the things we have lost,
26:11and the grief we carry.
26:13By bringing these two elements together,
26:15the film tells a story about how we can build something new
26:18from the ruins of the old.
26:20It is a powerful message that resonates in our own world,
26:23making the film feel more relevant than ever.
26:25The sensory details really bring the experience to life.
26:29You can almost feel the heat on your skin
26:31and the grit in your teeth.
26:33The sound of the ash falling like snow
26:35is a soft hissing sound that is oddly peaceful.
26:38The way the characters have to wipe the soot from their eyes
26:41and cough from the smoke
26:42makes the environment feel like a constant low-level threat.
26:46It is a masterclass in immersive storytelling.
26:48The humor remains a steady presence.
26:51At one point, Jake tries to eat a piece of local fruit
26:53that turns out to be incredibly spicy,
26:56and his renaction is a moment of genuine physical comedy.
26:59Or the way Neytiri rolls her eyes
27:01when Jake tries to use a Navi idiom
27:02and gets it slightly wrong.
27:04These small moments of humanity
27:06make the blue aliens feel more real
27:08than the human characters.
27:09The tech of the RDA also gets some screen time.
27:12We see the interior of their new command center,
27:15which is filled with holographic displays
27:17and humming computers.
27:18The beep-boop of the technology
27:20is a sharp contrast to the organic sounds of the Navi.
27:23We see how they are using AI to predict Navi movements,
27:26and how they are trying to map Ewa's neural network.
27:29It is a scary look at how far the humans are willing to go
27:32to dominate the planet.
27:34The relationship between Spider and Kiri
27:36is also further developed.
27:38They share a bond as outsiders,
27:39and they often find themselves away from the rest of the group.
27:42They have a conversation about whether they could ever go to Earth,
27:45and the idea of a world with no trees
27:47and no bioluminescence is horrifying to them.
27:50It reinforces their commitment to protecting Pandora,
27:53even if they aren't fully Navi themselves.
27:56The film's pacing is excellent.
27:59It alternates between massive action set pieces
28:01and quiet, character-driven moments.
28:03This gives the audience time to breathe
28:05and to process the emotional stakes of the story.
28:08The transition from the frantic energy of a battle
28:10to the stillness of a volcanic cave
28:12is handled with great skill.
28:15The world of Pandora feels more dangerous in this movie
28:18than ever before.
28:19It isn't just the RDA.
28:21It is the planet itself.
28:23The shifting ground, the toxic gases,
28:25and the predatory creatures
28:26make survival a constant struggle.
28:29This makes the Navi's connection to the planet
28:31even more impressive.
28:32They don't just live on Pandora.
28:34They live with it,
28:36respecting its power and adapting to its changes.
28:38The finale is a testament to the power of family.
28:42Despite all their arguments and their grief,
28:45the Sullys stand together.
28:46They have become a formidable team,
28:48with each member contributing
28:50their unique skills to the fight.
28:52Jake's leadership, Niteri's warrior spirit,
28:54Lowak's bravery,
28:55and Kiri's connection to the planet
28:57all come together to save the day.
28:59It is a satisfying conclusion
29:01to this chapter of their story.
29:02The themes of the movie are handled with a light touch.
29:05It doesn't preach about environmentalism
29:07or the horrors of war.
29:08Instead, it shows us the consequences of our actions
29:11through the eyes of characters we care about.
29:13We see the beauty that is being destroyed
29:15and the cost of defending it.
29:17It is a much more effective way
29:18to get the message across.
29:20The world-building of the Ash People
29:21is something that will be discussed by fans for years.
29:24Everything from their unique sign language
29:26to their methods of obsidian working
29:28is clearly the result of a lot of thought and creativity.
29:31It adds a whole new dimension to the Navi culture
29:33and makes the world of Pandora feel much bigger
29:35than just the forest.
29:37The movie ends with a sense of anticipation.
29:39The war is not over,
29:41and the RDA is not defeated.
29:42But the Navi are no longer just defending their homes.
29:45They are starting to fight back.
29:47They are finding allies in unexpected places
29:49and discovering new ways
29:50to use the power of their planet.
29:52The fire has been lit,
29:53and it is going to be very hard to put out.
29:55The final moments are filled with a sense of peace.
29:58We see the Solis flying over a landscape
30:00that is slowly starting to recover.
30:02The ash is being washed away by a gentle rain,
30:05and the first hints of green
30:06are returning to the scorched earth.
30:08The sound of the rain hitting the leaves
30:10is a soothing pitter-patter
30:11that brings the movie to a calm conclusion.
30:13It is a beautiful, hopeful ending
30:15that leaves us ready for whatever comes next.
30:18This journey through the fires of Pandora
30:20reminds us that resilience
30:21is not just about surviving the flame,
30:23but being forged by it into something stronger.
30:25We see that the bonds of family
30:27and the connection to the world around us
30:29are the only things that can truly sustain us
30:31when the earth shakes and the sky turns to ash.
30:34Life is a delicate balance of creation and destruction,
30:37and finding our place within that cycle
30:39is the ultimate challenge.
30:41Even in the darkest caves and under the heaviest soot,
30:43the light of our spirit and the pulse of the planet
30:46continue to beat as one.
30:47The movie is a breathtaking expansion
30:49of the Avatar universe,
30:50offering a darker and more complex look
30:52at the world of Pandora.
30:54It succeeds by grounding its massive scale
30:56in the personal struggles of the Sully family,
30:58making every explosion and every discovery
31:01feel like it has real weight.
31:02The introduction of the ash people
31:04adds a fascinating new layer to the Na'vi culture,
31:06proving that this franchise
31:08still has plenty of stories to tell.
31:10What kind of world will be left
31:11for the next generation of Na'vi to inherit?
31:13The world building throughout the movie is so dense
31:16that you almost need a second viewing to catch everything.
31:18For example, the way the ash people use bioluminescent fungus
31:21to light their tunnels
31:22because torches would consume too much oxygen
31:25is a brilliant little detail.
31:26Or the way their banshees have thicker skin
31:28to deal with the abrasive ash in the air.
31:30These small touches make the world feel lived in and real.
31:34The RDA tech also feels like a natural evolution,
31:36with more rugged, industrial designs
31:38that look like they were built to survive a hellscape.
31:41The contrast between the cold blue light
31:43of the RDA screens
31:44and the warm, flickering orange of the Na'vi fires
31:47is a recurring visual theme
31:48that reinforces the central conflict.
31:50The humor in the script
31:52mostly comes from the younger generation.
31:54Loak has some great one-liners
31:55about how everything on Pandora
31:57either wants to eat you or burn you alive.
31:59At one point, he looks at a particularly angry-looking
32:01volcanic crab and asks if it comes with butter.
32:04These moments of levity are important
32:06because the rest of the movie is quite heavy.
32:08Even Took gets it on the action,
32:09making fun of Loak's intense warrior face
32:12when he is actually just trying to avoid breathing in soot.
32:15It keeps the characters grounded and relatable,
32:17even when they are riding dragons over rivers of lava.
32:20The soundtrack deserves a mention as well.
32:22It incorporates tribal drumming
32:23with a heavy, industrial undertone.
32:26There are moments where the music drops out entirely,
32:28leaving only the sound of the wind
32:30howling through the basalt pillars.
32:31It creates a sense of isolation and grandeur.
32:34When the action kicks in,
32:36the brass section blares with a dissonant, aggressive energy
32:39that perfectly matches the ferocity of the ash people.
32:42The thump-thump of the drums
32:43mimics the heartbeat of the volcano,
32:45creating a rhythmic tension that never quite lets up.
32:48One of the standout scenes
32:49involves a trek through a glass forest
32:51where the volcanic eruptions
32:53have turned the trees into obsidian sculptures.
32:55The sound of the navi moving through this area
32:57is a delicate, tinkling sound
32:59like thousands of wind chimes.
33:01But it is also incredibly dangerous
33:03as the glass is razor sharp.
33:05We see a sequence where a group of RDA soldiers
33:07tries to chase them through the glass forest
33:09and gets shredded
33:10because their heavy boots and armor
33:11are too loud and clumsy.
33:13It is a great example
33:14of how the environment itself
33:15can be a character in the story.
33:17The relationship between the navi and their mounts
33:19is also explored further.
33:21We see how the ash people
33:22have a much more dominant,
33:23almost aggressive bond
33:24with their scorched-winged banshees.
33:26It is not the tesailu of mutual respect
33:28we saw with the Omatakaia,
33:30but a bond forged in necessity and survival.
33:33This adds another layer to the navi culture,
33:35showing that they are not a monolithic people.
33:37They have different values, different religions,
33:39and different ways of interacting
33:40with the world around them.
33:42The RDA's Reaper drones
33:43are a technological marvel in the film.
33:45They operate using a swarm intelligence
33:47that makes them incredibly difficult to hit.
33:50We see a scene where a hundred of these drones
33:52move in perfect unison,
33:54like a school of fish,
33:55to surround a group of navi warriors.
33:57The sound is a high-pitched whine
33:59that gets louder as they approach.
34:01It is a terrifying sound
34:03that signifies the loss of human agency
34:05in the RDA's warfare.
34:06The drones don't have pilots,
34:08they just have objectives.
34:10This makes them feel colder
34:11and more relentless than the human soldiers.
34:13Kiri's arc is perhaps
34:15the most philosophical part of the movie.
34:17She spends a lot of time questioning
34:19why Iwa would allow such destruction.
34:21She has a conversation
34:22with the spirit of Grace Augustine
34:24inside the network,
34:25and the dialogue is haunting.
34:27Grace explains that fire
34:29is a necessary part of the cycle,
34:31clearing away the old
34:32to make room for the new.
34:33But Kiri isn't satisfied with that.
34:35She doesn't want to see her world burn.
34:38Her struggle to reconcile
34:39the beauty of life
34:40with the necessity of death
34:41is the emotional heart of the film.
34:43The film also takes the time
34:45to show the human side of the RDA.
34:47We see some of the engineers
34:48and scientists
34:49who are just trying to do their jobs
34:51in a hostile environment.
34:53They are exhausted, scared,
34:54and many of them
34:55don't even want to be there.
34:57There is a scene in the mess hall
34:58where a group of workers
34:59talks about how much
35:00they miss the rain on Earth,
35:01even if it was acidic and gray.
35:03It reminds the audience
35:04that the humans
35:05are not just faceless monsters.
35:07They are a desperate species
35:08trying to save themselves,
35:10even if they are doing it
35:11in the worst way possible.
35:12As the story moves
35:13towards its conclusion,
35:14the sense of scale
35:15is breathtaking.
35:16We see wide shots
35:18of the volcanic range
35:19with dozens of active peaks
35:20venting smoke
35:21into the atmosphere.
35:22The sky is a permanent shade
35:24of bruised purple.
35:25The world feels massive and ancient,
35:27and the characters
35:28feel small in comparison.
35:30This sense of scale
35:31is one of the things
35:31that makes the Avatar series
35:33so special.
35:34It isn't just a story
35:35about a family.
35:36It is a story about a planet.
35:37The Ash People's City
35:39is a masterpiece
35:40of production design.
35:41It is built into the side
35:42of a massive caldera
35:43with dwellings carved
35:44directly into the rock.
35:46The architecture
35:47is sharp and angular,
35:48reflecting the harshness
35:49of the environment.
35:50There are no soft edges here.
35:52Everything is made
35:53of stone, bone, and metal.
35:55The central plaza
35:56features a massive fire well
35:57where the community
35:58gathers for rituals.
36:00The heat from the well
36:01is so intense
36:01that you can see
36:02the air shimmering.
36:03The sound of the chanting voices
36:05reflecting off the stone walls
36:06is deep and resonant,
36:08creating a powerful
36:09sense of community.
36:10There is a subplot
36:11involving a group of Navi
36:13who have been captured
36:13by the RDA
36:14and forced to work
36:15in the geothermal plant.
36:17Jake leads a rescue mission
36:18that is one of the most
36:19tense sequences in the film.
36:21They have to move silently
36:22through the industrial corridors,
36:24avoiding the click
36:25of security cameras
36:26and the hum
36:26of the energy conduits.
36:28It feels like a heist movie
36:29for a few minutes,
36:30with the Navi
36:31using their natural agility
36:32to navigate
36:33the mechanical environment.
36:34The payoff
36:35is a satisfying explosion
36:37that shuts down the plant
36:38and allows the prisoners
36:39to escape into the smoke.
36:41The dialogue throughout the movie
36:43is more mature
36:44than in previous installments.
36:45There is less focus
36:46on the wonder of discovery
36:47and more on the reality
36:49of conflict.
36:50Jake's internal monologue,
36:52narrated by Loak,
36:53provides a bridge
36:54between the movies.
36:55Loak's voice is raspier,
36:57more certain.
36:58He talks about
36:59how he used to think
36:59the world was simple,
37:01divided into good and evil,
37:02but now he sees
37:03only the gray of the ash.
37:05It is a cynical
37:06but honest perspective
37:07that reflects
37:08the shifting tone
37:09of the series.
37:10The final shot of the movie
37:12is a close-up
37:13of a single green sprout
37:14pushing through
37:15a layer of cooling lava.
37:16It is a classic image of hope,
37:18but in the context of this movie,
37:20it feels hard-earned.
37:21The sound is a tiny crack
37:23as the plant breaks the surface.
37:25It is a small sound,
37:27but in the silence of the wasteland,
37:28it is enough.
37:29It tells us that Pandora will endure,
37:31even if its people
37:33are changed forever
37:34by the fire.
37:35The piece is shoddered
37:36when a group of Navi
37:37they have never seen before
37:38arrives on the backs
37:39of strange, leathery creatures
37:41that look like banshees
37:42that spent too much time
37:43in a toaster.
37:44These are the ash people,
37:45led by a formidable woman
37:47named Verang.
37:48Unlike the blue Navi
37:49we are used to,
37:50these people have a gray,
37:52soot-like complexion,
37:53and their clothes
37:53are made of woven basalt
37:55and obsidian sharts.
37:56They do not come for trade
37:57or friendship.
37:58They come with a warning.
38:00The RDA has pushed too far
38:01into the volcanic north,
38:03and the fires they have ignited
38:04are not just burning the trees,
38:06but waking up
38:07the ancient spirits of the earth.
38:09Verang looks at Jake
38:09with a mixture of pity
38:10and contempt,
38:12calling him the dreamwalker
38:13who brings nothing but ruin.
38:15It is a great way
38:16to start a conversation, really.
38:17Just walk up to someone
38:18and tell them
38:19they are a walking disaster.
38:21Jake,
38:21being the professional problem-solver
38:23that he is,
38:24decides that the only way
38:25to protect the reef
38:26is to deal with the threat
38:27in the north.
38:28This leads to a massive
38:29migration sequence
38:30that makes the trek to the reef
38:31look like a weekend camping trip.
38:33We get to see the transition
38:34from the vibrant blues
38:35and greens of the coast
38:36to the harsh, monochromatic landscape
38:38of the volcanic wastes.
38:40The air becomes thick with sulfur,
38:42and the sound of bubbling magma
38:43replaces the gentle lapping of waves.
38:45The world-building here
38:47is incredible.
38:48We see how the ash people
38:49have adopted to this environment.
38:51They live in massive lava tubes
38:52that provide natural protection
38:54from the elements
38:55and the RDA's aerial surveys.
38:57Their society is built
38:58on the concept
38:59of the eternal forge,
39:00where fire is seen
39:01as a tool of creation
39:02and destruction.
39:03They do not worship Ewa
39:05in the same way
39:05the forest tribes do.
39:07To them,
39:07Ewa is a harsh mistress
39:09who demands sacrifice
39:10in exchange for warmth.
39:12The RDA is not sitting idle
39:13while Jake moves his family.
39:15General Ardmore
39:16has been replaced
39:16by a new figure,
39:17a man who treats
39:18the colonization of Pandora
39:20like a corporate
39:20restructuring project.
39:21They have built
39:22a new facility
39:23called the Bridgehead North,
39:25which is essentially
39:26a giant geothermal plant
39:27designed to harvest
39:28the energy of the planet's core.
39:30The sound design
39:31in these scenes
39:31is metallic and grinding.
39:33You can hear the screech
39:34of heavy machinery
39:35and the rhythmic thud
39:36of the piledriver
39:37sinking deep into the ground.
39:39It is a jarring contrast
39:40to the organic sounds
39:41of the Navi villages.
39:43The RDA has also deployed
39:44new tech,
39:45including the Reaper drones,
39:46which are smaller,
39:47faster versions
39:48of the Scorpion gunships,
39:49designed for high-heat environments.
39:51They look like angry
39:52mechanical wasps,
39:54and they sound even worse.
39:56Kiri is the one
39:57who notices the changes first.
39:58Her connection to Ewa
40:00is evolving,
40:00and in the volcanic regions,
40:02she starts to hear
40:03a different heartbeat.
40:04It is slower,
40:05deeper,
40:06and much more violent.
40:07She spends a lot of time
40:09pressing her ear
40:09against the cooling lava flows,
40:11listening to the movement
40:12of the tectonic plates.
40:14There is a beautiful scene
40:15where she interacts
40:16with a swarm of fire midges,
40:18tiny bioluminescent insects
40:20that thrive on heat.
40:21They swirl around her
40:22in a vortex of orange and gold,
40:24and the sound is like a soft hum
40:26that vibrates in the chest.
40:28It is a reminder
40:29that even in the harshest environments,
40:31Pandora is alive.
40:33But this connection
40:34also scares her.
40:35She starts to see visions
40:37of a great fire
40:38that consumes the entire world,
40:39and she can't tell
40:40if it is a memory of the past
40:42or a warning of the future.
40:44Loak is also struggling.
40:46He feels the need
40:47to prove himself
40:47after the events
40:48of the last movie,
40:49and he finds a strange
40:50kind of kinship
40:51with the Ash people.
40:52Their aggression
40:53and their directness
40:54appeal to him.
40:55He strikes up
40:56a tense friendship
40:57with a young warrior
40:57named Garak,
40:58who teaches him
40:59how to ride
41:00the scorched-winged banshees.
41:01These creatures
41:02are built for endurance,
41:04and their wings
41:04make a heavy,
41:05flapping sound
41:06that echoes
41:06through the canyons.
41:08The training sequences
41:09are intense,
41:10with Loak nearly falling
41:11into a pit of molten rock
41:13more than once.
41:14It is a classic
41:15coming-of-age story,
41:16but with much higher stakes
41:17and a lot more
41:18volcanic ash in the lungs.
41:20The tension between
41:21the Ash people
41:22and the Solis
41:23reaches a breaking point
41:24during a ritual
41:25called the tempering.
41:26It is a trial by fire
41:27where warriors
41:28must navigate
41:28a maze of steam vents
41:30and shifting rock.
41:31Jake tries to participate
41:33to show his respect,
41:34but his avatar body
41:35is not built for the heat.
41:36He struggles,
41:37and the Ash people
41:38mock him,
41:39calling him a soft
41:39forest dweller.
41:40The dialogue here
41:42is sharp,
41:43with Varang pointing out
41:44that Jake's version
41:44of leadership
41:45is just a series
41:46of retreats
41:47and hiding spots.
41:48She believes
41:49that the only way
41:49to stop the RDA
41:50is to burn them out,
41:52even if it means
41:53burning half the planet
41:54in the process.
41:55It is a dark mirror
41:56of the forest tribe's
41:57philosophy,
41:57and it forces Jake
41:59to question his own methods.
42:00In the midst of the carnage,
42:02Kiri does something unexpected.
42:03She doesn't fight
42:04with weapons.
42:05She connects with the planet
42:07on a level
42:07that defies explanation.
42:08She presses her hands
42:10to the ground,
42:11and you can hear a shift
42:12in the frequency
42:13of the world.
42:14The chaotic roar
42:15of the volcano
42:16begins to find a rhythm.
42:17The lava flows
42:18don't just spill out randomly.
42:20They seem to move
42:21with purpose,
42:22cutting off the RDA's path
42:23and protecting the Navi.
42:25It is a moment
42:26of pure wonder,
42:27a reminder that Pandora
42:28is not just a setting,
42:30but a character
42:30in its own right.
42:32The sound of the shifting earth
42:33becomes a low,
42:34melodic hum
42:35that drowns out
42:36the mechanical screams
42:37of the human machines.
42:39The battle ends
42:39with a Pyrrhic victory.
42:41The RDA is driven back,
42:42their massive refinery
42:43a smoking wreck
42:44in the caldera.
42:45But the cost is high,
42:47the landscape
42:48is forever changed,
42:49and the alliance
42:49between the clans
42:50is fragile.
42:51Varong stands atop a peak,
42:53looking out
42:54over her scorched domain.
42:55She acknowledges Jake,
42:57not as a leader,
42:58but as a survivor.
42:59The sound of the settling ash
43:01is a soft, shushin' noise,
43:02like falling snow,
43:04but heavier
43:04and more permanent.
43:05The family gathers together,
43:07battered and bruised,
43:08but still standing.
43:09They have survived the fire,
43:11but they know that the ash
43:12will remain for a long time.
43:14We see a final moment
43:15between Spider
43:16and the Sully children.
43:17He is still an outsider,
43:19a human in a world
43:19that is increasingly hostile
43:21to his kind.
43:22But he saved them,
43:23and that counts for something.
43:25The sound of their quiet conversation
43:26is a soft murmur
43:27against the backdrop
43:28of the cooling lava.
43:29They talk about the future,
43:31about the wars to come,
43:33and about the home
43:34they are still trying to build.
43:35The camera pans up,
43:37showing the vastness of Pandora,
43:38a world of blue and green,
43:40and now a deep burning red.
43:43The music swells,
43:44a complex arrangement
43:45of tribal drums
43:46and ethereal vocals
43:47that capture
43:48the dual nature of the planet.
43:50The world of Pandora
43:51has expanded
43:52in ways we never expected,
43:54showing us that
43:55even in a place
43:55of such vibrant life,
43:57there is a core of fire
43:58that can both create
43:59and destroy.
44:00We have seen the strength
44:01of family
44:02and the power of unity,
44:03but we have also seen
44:04the deep scars
44:05that history and conflict
44:06leave behind.
44:07As the ash settles
44:09over the mountains
44:09and the survivors
44:10begin to rebuild,
44:11we are reminded
44:12that the struggle for balance
44:13is never truly over,
44:15and that every end
44:16is simply a new beginning
44:17in the cycle of life and death
44:19that defines
44:19this beautiful,
44:21dangerous moon.
44:21This movie is a visually
44:23stunning exploration
44:24of the darker corners
44:25of Pandora
44:26that manages to raise
44:27the stakes
44:27both emotionally
44:28and physically.
44:29It is not just a sequel,
44:31it is a deepening
44:31of the lore
44:32that makes the world
44:33feel more grounded
44:34and complex
44:34than ever before.
44:36What do you think
44:36about the ash people
44:37and their brutal way of life?
44:39And do you think
44:39Jake can ever truly find peace
44:41in a world
44:41that seems destined for war?
44:43Let me know your thoughts
44:44in the comments below.
44:45Meanwhile,
44:46Spider is caught in the middle
44:47of a literal
44:48and metaphorical war zone.
44:49He is still with the RDA,
44:51but his heart
44:52is clearly with the Sully's.
44:54He watches as the humans
44:55prepare their assault
44:56on the volcanic regions.
44:57The sound of the briefings
44:58is a cold,
44:59clinical drone
45:00of military jargon.
45:01They talk about
45:02resource extraction
45:03and strategic suppression
45:04as if they are not
45:05planning to wipe out
45:06an entire culture.
45:08Spider sees the new weapons
45:09being prepped,
45:10including massive
45:11sonic vibrators
45:12designed to cause
45:12artificial earthquakes
45:13and collapse the lava tubes.
45:15The high-pitched whine
45:16of these machines
45:17is enough to make
45:18your ears bleed.
45:19He knows he has to warn Jake,
45:20but he is under
45:21constant surveillance.
45:23The tension between
45:24the Ash people
45:24and the Sully's
45:25reaches a breaking point
45:26when a scouting party
45:27of RDA soldiers
45:28is spotted
45:29near the sacred vents.
45:30Varang wants to strike
45:31immediately,
45:32to burn the sky people
45:33where they stand.
45:34Jake,
45:35ever the tactician,
45:36wants to lure them
45:37into a trap.
45:38This leads to a heated argument
45:39that highlights
45:40the world-building
45:40of the Navi
45:41political landscape.
45:42We see that the different
45:43clans are not a monolith.
45:45They have different values,
45:46different gods,
45:47and different ways of war.
45:48The sound of the argument
45:49is a cacophony of shouting
45:51and the rhythmic pounding
45:52of fists on stone tables.
45:54In the end,
45:55they reach a shaky truce,
45:56but the trust is thin.
45:58The first major skirmish
45:59happens in a narrow canyon
46:01filled with geothermal geysers.
46:02The sound of the steam erupting
46:04is like a series of jet engines
46:06firing off at random.
46:07The RDA arrives
46:08in their new heat-resistant
46:09AMP suits,
46:10their footsteps a heavy,
46:12metallic crunch
46:12on the volcanic glass.
46:14The Navi of the Ash people
46:15use the environment
46:16to their advantage,
46:17disappearing into the steam
46:18and reappearing
46:19with obsidian spears
46:20that shatter on impact.
46:22The chaos of the battle
46:23is a symphony of violence.
46:25You hear the hiss
46:25of the steam,
46:26the roar of the guns,
46:27and the high-pitched screams
46:28of the Ikran
46:29as they dive through the clouds.
46:31Jake is in the thick of it,
46:32his rifle barking out
46:33a steady rhythm.
46:35Neytiri is a shadow
46:36in the mist,
46:36her arrows finding
46:37the weak points
46:38in the human armor
46:39with a sickening thud.
46:40Despite their victory
46:41in the canyon,
46:42the Sully's realized
46:43that the RDA
46:43was just testing
46:44their defenses.
46:45The real threat is coming.
46:47General Ardmore
46:47has authorized the use
46:48of a massive mobile refinery
46:50that acts
46:50as a forward operating base.
46:52This thing is a titan
46:53of steel and fire,
46:54crawling across the landscape
46:56on massive treads
46:57that crush everything
46:58in their path.
46:59The sound of its approach
47:00is a low,
47:01earth-shaking rumble
47:01that can be heard
47:02from miles away.
47:03It smells of diesel
47:04and burnt ozone,
47:06a stench that masks
47:07the natural scent
47:07of the planet.
47:08The Ash people
47:09are horrified.
47:10To them,
47:11this machine
47:11is the ultimate blasphemy,
47:13a creature of cold iron
47:14that eats the sacred earth.
47:16As the final battle approaches,
47:18we see the different cultures
47:19of Pandora
47:20coming together
47:21in a way
47:21we have never seen.
47:22The Reef people arrive,
47:24led by Tonewari,
47:25their mounts splashing
47:26through the coastal waters
47:27before taking to the skies.
47:29The Omitikia join them,
47:31their colorful war paint
47:32of bright contrast
47:33to the gray ash.
47:34The sound
47:35of the combined war cries
47:36is a deafening roar
47:37that echoes
47:38through the mountains.
47:38It is a moment
47:40of pure cinematic scale.
47:41The worldbuilding
47:42comes full circle
47:43as we see how the biology
47:45and technology
47:45of each clan
47:46complement one another.
47:47The agility
47:48of the forest dwellers,
47:49the stamina
47:50of the sea people,
47:51and the raw power
47:52of the ash warriors.
47:53The climax of the movie
47:54takes place
47:55at the heart
47:56of the Great Vent.
47:57The RDA
47:57has deployed
47:58their sonic weapons
47:59and the ground
47:59is literally falling apart.
48:01The sound
48:02of the earth cracking
48:03is a series
48:03of bone-jarring booms
48:05that feel like
48:05the world is ending.
48:06Lava begins
48:07to spill out
48:08of the fissures,
48:09turning the battlefield
48:09into a maze of fire.
48:11Korich and Jake
48:12finally have their showdown,
48:13and it is not just a fight,
48:15it is a clash
48:15of ideologies.
48:17They are two men
48:18who have both been shaped
48:19by the same military machine,
48:20but they have taken
48:21wildly different paths.
48:23The sound
48:23of their blades clashing
48:24is a sharp metallic ring
48:26that cuts through
48:27the roar
48:27of the volcano.
48:28The story begins
48:29with the heavy,
48:30rhythmic thrum
48:31of RDA engines
48:32cutting through
48:33the silence
48:34of the morning.
48:34You can almost feel
48:36the vibration
48:37in your teeth
48:37as those massive
48:39metal beasts
48:39descend from the stars.
48:41General Ardmore
48:43is not exactly
48:43a fan of losing,
48:45and she has brought
48:46some new toys
48:46to the party.
48:47We see the expansion
48:49of Bridgehead City,
48:50a sprawling metallic cancer
48:52eating away
48:53at the coastline.
48:54The sound
48:55of heavy machinery
48:56grinding against
48:57ancient stone
48:58is constant,
48:59a metallic screech
49:00that sets the tone
49:01for the industrial nightmare
49:03the humans are building.
49:04Jake watches
49:05from the shadows,
49:07his face etched
49:07with a weariness
49:08that only a man
49:09who has died once
49:10and been reborn
49:11as a ten-foot-tall
49:12blue alien
49:13can truly understand.
49:14He is looking
49:15at his children,
49:17Loke and Took
49:17and Kiri,
49:18and you can see
49:19the weight of the world
49:20on his shoulders.
49:22Neytiri is there,
49:23too,
49:23her eyes like
49:24smoldering embers.
49:25She has not forgotten
49:27the blood spilled
49:27on the rocks
49:28of the archipelago,
49:29and her bow
49:30is never far
49:31from her hand.
49:31They decide
49:33that the sea
49:34is no longer
49:34safe enough.
49:35The RDA
49:36knows their tactics now.
49:37They need allies,
49:39and they need a place
49:40where the human technology
49:41might struggle to follow.
49:42This leads them
49:43on a long journey
49:44across the scorched plains
49:46and toward the volcanic
49:47mountain ranges
49:48that dominate
49:49the central continent.
49:50The air changes
49:51from the salty mist
49:52of the reef people
49:53to a dry,
49:54sulfurous haze
49:55that catches in the throat.
49:57The sound of the wind
49:58here is different,
49:58too.
49:59It is a lonely,
50:00whistling sound
50:01as it whips through
50:02pillars of obsidian
50:03and basalt.
50:04Jake leads his family
50:05on the backs
50:06of their ikron,
50:07the leathery snap
50:08of wings echoing
50:09against the jagged cliffs.
50:10They are heading
50:11toward the territory
50:12of the ash people,
50:13a clan that even
50:14the forest navi
50:15speak of in hushed,
50:16nervous tones.
50:17When they finally arrive
50:19at the great vent,
50:20the scale of the worldbuilding
50:21really hits you.
50:23This is not the lush jungle
50:24we know.
50:25This is a landscape
50:26of fire and shadow.
50:28Rivers of glowing
50:29orange magma
50:29snake through the valleys
50:31like the veins
50:31of a living god.
50:32The heat is a physical presence,
50:34a shimmering wall
50:35that makes the air dance.
50:37The ash people
50:38do not live in trees
50:39or underwater.
50:40They live in the
50:41hollowed-out lava tubes
50:42and the carved faces
50:43of the volcanoes themselves.
50:45The architecture
50:46is brutal and sharp,
50:47made of dark stone
50:48and bone.
50:49We meet Varong,
50:50the leader of this clan,
50:51and she is nothing
50:52like Ronal or Moat.
50:53She is sharp,
50:54aggressive,
50:55and looks like she would
50:56punch a mountain
50:56if it looked at her wrong.
50:58The sound of her voice
50:59is like gravel
50:59grinding together,
51:00a harsh contrast
51:01to the melodic tones
51:02of the omatakea.
51:04Varong does not welcome
51:05the sullies with open arms.
51:07To her,
51:08Jake is a ghost
51:09of a dead world
51:10and a reminder
51:11of the sky people.
51:13There is a great tension
51:14in their first meeting.
51:15You can hear the crackle
51:17of the ceremonial fires
51:18and the low,
51:19rhythmic chanting
51:20of the ash people
51:21in the background.
51:22They do not worship
51:23Ewa in the way
51:24the others do.
51:25They see her
51:26as a harsh mother,
51:27one who burns away
51:29the weak
51:29to make room
51:30for the strong.
51:31This philosophy
51:32is reflected
51:33in everything they do.
51:34Their clothes
51:35are made of thick,
51:36heat-resistant hides,
51:37and their skin
51:38is a muted,
51:39dusty shade of blue,
51:40almost gray
51:41from the constant exposure
51:42to volcanic dust.
51:44They use fire
51:45as a tool
51:46and a weapon,
51:46which is a huge taboo
51:48for most Navi.
51:49The sound
51:50of their blacksmiths
51:51hammering away
51:51at obsidian blades
51:52is a constant
51:53metallic clang
51:54that echoes
51:55through the tunnels.
51:56As the Sully's
51:57try to integrate,
51:58or at least survive,
51:59we see the RDA
52:01making moves.
52:02Miles Korich is back
52:03and he is more
52:04obsessed than ever.
52:05He is not just
52:06a soldier anymore,
52:07he is a predator
52:08who has learned
52:09from his mistakes.
52:10He has been spending time
52:11in his own avatar body,
52:13honing his skills,
52:14and nursing a grudge
52:15that could power a starship.
52:16The sound
52:17of his breathing
52:18is ragged
52:18and intense,
52:19a constant reminder
52:20of his singular focus.
52:22He is working
52:23with a new division
52:24of the RDA
52:24that specializes
52:25in high-heat environments.
52:27They have these
52:28new thermal suits
52:29that hiss
52:29with escaping steam
52:30and clatter
52:31with every mechanical step.
52:33They look like
52:34walking tanks
52:34designed to survive
52:36the literal gates of hell.
52:37Back at the volcano,
52:39Kiri is experiencing
52:40something strange.
52:41Her connection
52:42to the world
52:42has always been unique,
52:44but here,
52:44the pulse of the planet
52:46feels different.
52:46It is not the gentle
52:48heartbeat of the forest
52:49or the rhythmic tide
52:50of the ocean.
52:51It is a deep,
52:52booming throb
52:53that comes from
52:54the very core of Pandora.
52:56She spends her time
52:57sitting near the lava flows,
52:58her eyes glazed over
52:59as she listens to things
53:00no one else can hear.
53:02The sound design here
53:03is incredible,
53:04with low-frequency hums
53:06and the occasional explosive pop
53:07of a gas bubble
53:08in the magma.
53:09Kiri believes
53:10that the Ash People
53:11are not villains,
53:12but protectors
53:13of a different side of nature.
53:14She sees the necessity
53:16of the fire,
53:17the way it clears the old
53:18to make way for the new.
53:19This creates a rift
53:21between her and Neytiri,
53:22who sees the fire
53:23as only a source
53:24of destruction.
53:25Loke is also
53:26finding his place,
53:28but in a much more
53:28physical way.
53:29He is drawn to the warrior
53:31culture of the Ash People.
53:32He wants to prove himself,
53:34to show that he is not just
53:35the son who got
53:36his brother killed.
53:37He starts training
53:38with the young warriors
53:39of the clan.
53:40The sound of their sparring
53:41is a sequence
53:42of heavy thuds,
53:43the slap of skin on skin,
53:45and the occasional
53:46grunt of pain.
53:47They use staves
53:48made of petrified wood
53:49that crack like thunder
53:50when they collide.
53:51Loke is fast,
53:52but the Ash People
53:53are brutal.
53:54They fight with a desperation
53:55that he has never seen.
53:56They teach him
53:57that in the fire,
53:58you do not have
53:59the luxury of grace,
54:00you only have
54:01the necessity of survival.
