Avatar: The Way of Water is the highly-anticipated sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar. With visual effects from Weta and partially shot in New Zealand, this film will raise the bar for how a big-budget film should look and sound in 2022.
Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Jake Sully and Ney’tiri have formed a family and are doing everything to stay together. However, they must leave their home and explore the regions of Pandora. When an ancient threat resurfaces, Jake must fight a difficult war against the humans.
Early Reviews:
…slow start, big build, incredibly involving second act with a ton of world building and cool creatures that blisses you way out, then an hour of screamingly good crystal clear emotionally trenchant action to send you home full and happy. David Sims, The Atlantic
James Cameron is a technology master… and his direction is at its most precise here. Yolanda Machado, Entertainment Weekly
I had faith James Cameron would raise the bar w/ the effects but these visuals are mind-blowing. One stunning frame after the next. Perri Nemiroff, Collider
Light years better than the first & easily one of the best theatrical experiences in ages. David Ehrlich, IndieWire
