Review of “Avatar The Way of Water”: Beautifully shot, yet James Cameron’s movie replicates the flaws of the first one

Review of the movie Avatar: The Way of Water: James Cameron is a man with enormous dreams who never gives up. He commissions the development of new filming tools because his visions are frequently impossible to realise. This guy would rather wait decades for technology to get to his vision than produce something that is only partially complete. And he is able to achieve that because of his unique influence, which was developed over the course of a lengthy, extremely successful career as a filmmaker.

Cameron is back with the first of several sequels 13 years after ‘Avatar’ smashed the world box office. The sequel, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ follows paraplegic marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), who in the first movie allied with the Na’vi in their struggle with humanity and later transformed into one of the tall, lithe, and blue-hued natives himself. Three of their own and two adopted children are currently living with him and his native-born wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana). More is at risk than ever before.

They are placed among the Metkayina, a group of Na’vi that love the water and have lighter blue skin tones to resemble the sea. They can exist in both worlds since they are amphibious and reside near a reef. The clan’s Tonowari (Cliff Curtis) and Ronal (Kate Winslet) chiefs finally take the fugitives in and teach them their aquatic ways despite their initial hostility and unwillingness. They are unaware that the Sullys have brought the conflict to their doorstep.

The visuals are breathtaking

First things first: “The Way of Water” is an incredibly beautiful movie. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given how lovely the original was. It is stunning in a dynamic, cinematic way. The brand-new, exquisitely detailed locations will wow you. Even though the movie is so gorgeous, it nevertheless manages to remain subtle, which may sound strange to say. The video urges viewers to disregard the fact that everything they are viewing was produced using computers since the visual components merge together so flawlessly. I have no doubt Cameron was strutting his stuff in a couple images, especially those in the water. My mouth was hanging open as I pondered how he managed to pull it off.

Is the story worth getting invested in?

The Way of Water will undoubtedly become one of your favourite movies this decade, if not the entire century, if all you think makes movies worthwhile is their aesthetic appeal. I, however, do not belong to that group, and I found much in “The Way of Water” to criticise.
