Review of Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) by All_Buttru4 — 17 Dec 2022
A rich visually stunning indulgent triumph! James Cameron confidence in this film is earned and whilst the three hours might be a few landscape shots too many you can't help but appreciate the splendor of it all.
This sequel feels ,in plot, just as average as the first. A war between warring races for dominace on the mesmerizing pandora but the added perspective of unveiling the world not as an outsider but instead as it's native allows for it to be explored in more deliberate and fantastic ways.
It allows you to witness the culture ,connect with what the Human colonial efforts threaten with their "progress ". The acting is good with well paced action. One notable flaw which I felt appeared on another visually stunning franchise, Dune, is that it feels like it owes its entire existence to setting up the next film.
Which isn't too bad but when three ours and some are considered you notice the movies deliberate meandering at some points with a bit less fascination and a fraction of annoyance because you can't help but wonder the lengths it would have taken if allowed to be free of those expectations.
Overall I enjoyed it and can only recommend you rush to theaters to see it as it's a spectal that deserves that big screen first impression. 8.
