The director, James Cameron, is on the record as saying that you are free to go to the bathroom at any time during the movie, and that you can see the missed scenes when you watch the movie a second time.
I ducked out during a quiet moment in the film. There are many moments like that.
The 48 frames got stuttery a few times in my theater, but overall the film was beautiful and engaging. The eco-moral messaging was too in-your-face at a few moments. Is subtlety not a thing any more? My family thought it was a better movie than the first. For me, its about equal, though this one was visually amazing, and I did care about the characters a bit more.
