Avatar: The Way Of Water Review - What Cinematic Sorcery Looks ... (NDTV)

Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet. Director: James Cameron. Rating: Four stars (out of 5).

Jake Sully, as chief of the Omaticaya, takes his responsibilities with all the seriousness that they merit. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), who has assumed a Na'vi avatar to avenge his human-form death at the hands of the forest people in the latter's victory over invading humans bent on destroying their way of life. Both these defining elements are central to the fierce battle that Sully, his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their children wage. Moreover, the fantastical yarn that it spins serves as a connector of a whole gamut and ideas and themes. death to life, darkness to light, says one of the reef people among whom Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) takes refuge with the intention of protecting his family from harm when an old, ruthless foe returns to torment the Na'vi all over again in a new body with an old mind that retains the memories of a defeat. The 'way of water' has no beginning and no end...

Avatar The Way Of Water movie review: Avatar 2 is just stunning in the parts it skims along the water, dives deep, rolls around joyously, keeping up with ...

Cameron adds a heady dose of tribalism in ‘Avatar 2’s’ mix of saving the environment and the rapaciousness of humans, leading us to ask questions about identity and belonging. In between moving everything along briskly, is a touching thread belonging to the younger Na’vi boy and his relationship with a gentle giant of the deep, called the Tulkun: in the way the two support each other against a formidable foe, the boy comes of age, and the creature, cast outside his clan, finds redemption. The importance of the family unit is also emphasised over and over, with a bit of teenage angst thrown in, safely unsexualised, because Cameron is clearly making a family first movie for families all over the world. ‘Avatar 2’ is just stunning in the parts it skims along the water, dives and rolls around joyously, keeping up with the incredible creatures who live in the deep: the Na’vi family learns that the way of the water is to become one with it. As one of the Metkayina people (Kate Winslett has a small part as the Metkayina chief ‘s wife, who takes her time to embrace the outsiders) tells the Na’vi family, as they begin finding their sea-legs: the way of the water has no beginning and no end, water connects everything. Apart from the big themes of environmentalism and colonisation, ‘Avatar’ also sounded the gong for how each of us are connected to the other, whether we live on the land, or the sea.

Avatar 2 Review: Worthy 3D Experience (Greatandhra.com)

Movie: Avatar: The Way of Water Rating: 3/5. Banner: Lightstorm Entertainment Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, ...

The remaining 2 hours and 45 minutes of this 3.15-hour movie take place on the ocean. The visual effects in even a Telugu film like "RRR" were cutting edge. When "Avatar" was released in 2009, viewers were blown away by James Cameron's vision of the planet Pandora. The CGI is completely out of this world. It's common knowledge that when James Cameron directs a film, the technicians in charge of the special effects, cinematography, and action sequences all perform at the highest possible level. In particular, the actors who play Lo'ak and Neteyam are the show-stoppers.

James Cameron takes us back to Pandora, and this time, it is spectacularly grand. Avatar: The Way Of Water, or as the film is commonly referred to as Avatar ...

All Rights Reserved./ IMDb; feature image Courtesy: Avatar: The Way of Water/ IMDb) Avatar: The Way of Water left me breathless. [#AvatarTheWayOfWater]is by far the most important film for the future of cinema. It conquers stunning visuals on-screen & taps into the heart reminding us of what truly matters in life. And he does, after some visual adjustment; the use of high frame rate (a sped-up 48 frames per second) tends to work better underwater than on dry land, where the overly frictionless, motion-smoothed look might put you briefly in mind of a Na’vi soap opera (“The Blue and the Beautiful,” surely).” The first Twitter reactions, after the special premiere of Avatar 2 in early December 2022, hailed Cameron for the astounding visual effects, cinematography and heart-thumping war sequences. And, while Richard Baneham serves as the executive producer, Avatar 2 is produced by the director himself and Jon Landau. Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver penned the screenplay of this action-packed sci-fi movie. This is the first time Winslet unites with Cameron after the blockbuster hit Titanic (1997). However, Lo’ak must learn about the way of life underwater and imbibe all the intricacies and norms, just as his father did when he came to Pandora and connected with all living things in the first film. Taking a deep dive into the unchartered waters of Pandora, Cameron creates a visual spectacle which evokes a Mariana Trench-like wonder. Taking the plot forward, he has built an enriching, diverse and nuanced world in

Avatar 2 India Talk And Reviews (Mirchi9)

Avatar 2 India Talk And Reviews-The first and foremost verdict on Avatar is that the film boasts of visual imagery that was never before seen.

[December 16, 2022] [#AvatarTheWayOfWater]is pretty boring until the last 30 minutes. Story is weak (to nonexistent), CGI same as those in 2009, apart from the underwater scenes. Was in awe with what I just saw❤️. [December 16, 2022] The visual grandeur is said to be unlike anything anyone’s experienced before. The early reviews and the social media word of mouth is out now and here’s brief report on the same.

It also got the green light to [premiere in China](https://fortune.com/2022/12/10/avatar-2-china-release-profit-james-cameron-movie-box-office/), which is never a given for Hollywood movies given the criteria they need to meet [to be released there](https://time.com/4649913/china-remaking-global-film-industry/), and on the conservative side, Variety estimates that “initial returns [from Chinese cinemas] could reach $100 million by Sunday” in addition to the $22 million in advance sales.

[reported to have cost](https://variety.com/2022/film/box-office/avatar-way-of-water-box-office-opening-weekend-projections-1235459227/) Disney $350 million, according to Variety. Avatar: The Way of Water needs to make $1.49 billion to clinch the top spot for 2022, and it There are a multitude of reasons why it cost so much money and took so much time to make the second Avatar movie. That puts it ahead of early projections for Top Gun: Maverick, which currently ranks as the most successful movie this year. Reviews aside, it remains to be seen how the movie will perform and if it will reach the heights of its predecessor. “For the sequels, Cameron wanted to use the same motion capture tech for actors while they were submerged underwater, an unheard-of feat that required years to engineer a solution.” Cameron also decided to film the second and third movies together, which took three years to complete. This, on top of the time it took for post-production, all adds up to the 13-year wait. But if its current rating of 80% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes is any indication, a majority ultimately did enjoy the sequel for the visual spectacle that it is. Domestic box office projections are strong and reviews sway positive in general, but the coming days will offer a better sense of whether it’s on track to meet its lofty ambitions.

'Avatar 2: The Way Of Water' Review: A Major Disappointment, Bro (Forbes)

I didn't see Avatar: The Way Of Water on an IMAX 3D screen because the nearest IMAX to where I live is at the Grand Canyon and they don't show this kind of ...

I tweaked the new version that Austin Kleon came up with that replaced the fourth image of the man sitting up with a smile in his face (#4) with the man sitting back in his chair expressionless (#3). But then I would have had to watch it again to pen this review, and that would be . Ultimately, Avatar: The Way Of Water is just not all that good or cerebral or exciting. I would have loved it if this were an adventure movie, with Jake and his family heading out into the wide, wild world and facing struggles that had nothing to do with the human colonizers. But the bad guys are coming with their guns and their bombs and their bombs and their guns. But even if that is how kids in the US talk in 2022—it isn’t, not to this degree—it makes no sense on an alien planet. And the Navi—a crude analog for the indigenous people of our own world—remain the Noble Savage trope they were in the last film, only less interesting now. It’s a retread of the first film. I didn’t see Avatar: The Way Of Water on an IMAX 3D screen because the nearest IMAX to where I live is at the Grand Canyon and they don’t show this kind of movie on that screen (even if they did it’s being renovated until next Spring). It’s arrogant and self-indulgent and I think the novelty that made that okay in the first film has worn off for audiences, or at least it has for me. Some of the fights—while too long—were exciting and action-packed and had cool special effects. - That’s the best way I can describe Way Of Water.
