Review User : Avatar: The Way of Water 2022 Movie

Avatar: The Way of Water continues the legacy of its predecessor with spectacular visuals and a lackluster plot.

It's stunning because it's a James Cameron movie. The world-building, action, special effects, and camerawork were all top-notch. However, Avatar: The Way of Water faces the same issues as its predecessor in terms of plot and character development. In actuality, The Way of Water's plot and the original Avatar's are very similar. A family of forest Na'vi learns to be an ocean Na'vi and then battles Stephen Lang, as opposed to humans learning to be Na'vi and battling Stephen Lang. But the new film also concentrates on a bunch of obnoxious youths who repeatedly put themselves in danger and difficulty throughout the lengthy and incredibly

It's incredible that the Avatar sequel has already been released. It has finally arrived after 13 years and what seems like a dozen delays.

The 2009 original shocked me with how well it stood up on a recent watch, so I had high hopes for the sequel, and I'd say it lived up to the anticipation. Maybe it's not quite as good, but I'd need to think about it for a little bit longer before I could say for sure.

First off, this film is lengthy. length: 192 minutes. To be very honest, I didn't feel the length. I was so engrossed in the movie and how it looked and sounded that I doubt an additional hour would have made me feel restless. It's one of the best-paced three-plus-hour films I've ever watched, and some may even argue that the first act is paced a bit too quickly due to a time-skip that forces the spectator to quickly catch up.

It's flawless in terms of appearance and effects. Every year, a large number of pricey blockbusters are made, but very few receive the attention that Avatar 2 has certainly received. As a result, it appears miles ahead of any other $100 million+ film released in the previous few years. Thanks to the numerous underwater landscapes, the 3D is fantastic (not something I'd say frequently) and opens up magnificent new places of Pandora for exploration.

It features a slightly less predictable plot than the previous, whose narrative appears to irk certain people. Introducing child characters reminded me of Aliens and Terminator 2, and some of the action scenes in Avatar 2 will look a little like to anyone who has watched Titanic, The Abyss, or even Terminator. If anything, James Cameron might only be criticized for copying himself too much (1984).

Since there are other sequels planned, there is some corny dialogue, a few initially awkward sequences, and no clear resolution. There are issues, but they are hardly significant. This film's many positive qualities make it a necessity to see in theaters. It was just wonderful to watch a blockbuster like this after a while.

The strong suit of the first Avatar movie was for sure not the story (the retelling of Pocahontas in a sci-fi context etc. - my rate for that one is a straight 8), so I did not expect a sophisticated plot or something substantial, and like expected, the story is nothing worth to mention or remarkable. Fore sure, The Way of Water is no bad experience, the effects are fine, the production superb, so I dare to say, if you liked the first one you will like this one most likely too. All in all I was entertained, but the trip had some lengthy parts too, some cutting (like in many productions these days) would have done some magick to the experience of The Way of Water. Also the sensation of the new style like movies like the first Matrix, Sin City and Avatar provided is gone - you know what you get. So I gotta confess, here and there I was slightly bored, and sometimes it was like watching the cinematic to a (well made) computer game. In my humble opinion, the media mostly does overpraise this work by James Cameron like they did with the Dune remake by Denis Villeneuve. Eye-candy? Yes. Cinematic masterpieces? No.
