Just a better executed story overall.

And it could have been even better if they’d tightened up the story a bit.
First it’s about how humans want to full on colonize the planet and have seemingly given up on unobtanium.
Then halfway thru the movie they’re like oh wait, it’s actually this super valuable whale brain juice that, by the way, is even more valuable than crappy old unobtanium. Oh and it basically gives you immortality.
I think they could have done a better job linking General dbag’s revenge plot, the guerilla fighters disrupting the colonization and the whale hunting. Really linked together Jake, his old clan and the new clan.
I also felt like Nefertiti, or whatever her name is, had almost no role in this movie except to scream, hiss or cry. She was such a badass in the first movie and barely featured here.
And what the hell happened to the water clan during/after the fight? They’re all there attacking the big ship in unison then apparently they peaced the #### out and went home because of the 50 or so water riders, not a single one stuck around for the final boss battle or ship sinking.
