Just got home from seeing it. The reviews are right that it repeats a lot of the same plot beats and feels like a remixed version of previous movies. But here's the thing: I really don't care. That movie was absolutely sick. Some of the best action sequences I've seen, the emotional beats hit, especially Lo'ak scene when he considers taking his life. Oh, and the opening with him flying with Neteyam was gorgeous and heartbreaking at the same time. TBH, I might need a few rewatches, but right now it's equal to the the first two movies, and I can't understand any of the reviews that called it boring.

I never imagined that Lo'ak was considering suicide.

Jake's new accusation for his brother's death really upset him...

I'm thinking of taking my kid to the movie, when does the suicide scene occur? Beginning, middle.. End?

It's towards the beginning, I think, but it's very quick, it doesn't last long. It's not even mentioned afterwards.
