अवतार: द वे ऑफ़ वॉटर

"Avatar: The Way of Water" is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to the high expectations set by the original film. While the movie boasts stunning visuals and a unique underwater world, it lacks the emotional depth and compelling storyline that made the first film so memorable.

The biggest issue with "Avatar: The Way of Water" is its lackluster storyline. The plot is thin and predictable, with little to no character development. The film relies heavily on clichéd tropes and predictable twists, leaving the audience feeling underwhelmed and uninvested in the outcome.

Another problem with the movie is its pacing. The movie is slow and meandering, with scenes that drag on for too long and fail to move the story forward. The underwater scenes are beautiful, but they can also be overwhelming and repetitive, leaving the audience feeling numb rather than immersed in the story.

The characters in "Avatar: The Way of Water" are also disappointing. Despite the efforts of the talented cast, the characters are one-dimensional and lack the depth and complexity of those in the original film. Even the villain is cartoonish and uninteresting, with no real motivation or backstory to make them compelling.

Overall, "Avatar: The Way of Water" is a lackluster sequel that fails to capture the magic and emotional resonance of the first film. While it may appeal to fans of the original for its stunning visuals and familiar world-building, it ultimately falls short in terms of storytelling and character development."

First Avatar movie, I watched maybe half a dozen times, it was an enchanting flick. For A:TWoW, I waited until the DVD came out, didn't want to spend over 3 hours in theater. I'm sooooooo glad I bought the DVD and avoided the theater. This movie just wasn't worth the 3-hour time.

I watched at home, over 3 sessions, in comfort of my own recliner and awesome sound system. A:TWoW was a visual treat for the eyes, but that's about it. Everything else was pretty much awful, one of the worst sequels I've ever seen (story-wise).

Will I watch again?? Nope.... I'm one and done. If it wasn't for the visuals, I'd give this movie a rating of 2.

Movie exceeds all the CGI anyone can possibly expect, but the storyline fails to overwhelm the audience. Id say 70% of the film is about family bonding and descriptions of culture on Pandora. Had it been on Discovery or Nat Geo, itd have been awesome. But thats not what people going in to watch the movie would want to see in a 3 hr movie.

The action starts out at the beginning and in the end with detailsed description of the life of the Naavi comprising the major chunk of the film in the middle.

Personally I was unable to sit through the movie in one go. Finished it in 3 sittings while skipping through many scenes I felt were totally unnecessary.

The movie while not fantastic storywise was very enjoyable and well worth going to see it. The visuals where beyond fantastic and makes this years other blockbuster CGI look like a joke. Would recommended strongly seeing it in 3D, while its mostly a novelty that because in most cases its done cheaply as a gimmic. Not in this case .The biggest suprise was how they returned some of the characters from the 1st movie which just fit right in.

You either go see it in the cinema (biggest screen possible) or don't bother watching it at all. If your thought is to wait and stream it, save yourself 3hrs and don't bother (unless you have a great home theatre (even then....)

The visual effects are amazing. But Cameron should be better than this.

I'm a big fan of Mr Cameron. Not only for his directing skills, but also for his screenwriting skills. But this time he seemed to have missed the goal. I know he rarely does sequels. But is this the best he could do? The story has not changed anything compared to the previous episode. Repeated crises, repeated enemies, repeated conflicts,and wait a minute,WHAT? Even repeated Titanic. Are you serious?

As a director, he also did not reach his previous level. For a long time, the pace of the film felt too slow. Yes, the underwater scenes are phenomenal. But this is not the Blue Planet, this is a sci-fi action movie. At least it's what most audiences expect from the film, isn't it?
