Verdict

It is not that easy to make the audience believe the world created on screen and to make them fall in love with this fantasy world. When the first part of Avatar was released, audience were stunned with the vision of director James Cameron and the way he presented the story amid creating wonderful place called ‘Pandora’. While the first part takes place mostly in the dense forests from Pandora planet, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ as the name suggests itself uses water as medium this time. Watching those breath taking visuals in 3D and 4DX screens is something that we have never experienced.

As everyone expected, VFX and all other technical aspects are biggest positives in this movie, but what makes it more special is the story. ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is not just technically brilliant, but also has a good story that will make us forget the run time (More than 3 hours) of this movie and keeps us involved with some good emotional scenes and breathtaking visuals. When a movie turns out to be biggest blockbuster, audience will definitely expect a lot of a sequel is made on the same film, if any of these expectations are not met in the theatres, that movie will be a disaster, but in case of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ director James Cameron not just met the expectations, but made it way beyond our expectations.

While it comes to the performances, we completely get involved in the movie and we forget that these characters were actually played by humans, we just see natives from different planet called Pandora fighting for their lives more than the actors playing those roles. It is better not to comment on the performance of any actor from the movie, as this movie is not just a movie but a visual wonder and an emotion for many cinema fans.

Technically ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is captivating. It feels like we might miss something wonderful, if we even blink our eye. Efforts of technical team is fascinating and the each and every frame in the movie looks stunningly beautiful. Watching these visuals in 3D will definitely make us step into the world of Pandora, even though this planet is a fictional place. Underwater sequences throughout the movie are fascinating and one should not miss to watch this movie in the theatres which can afford good sound and big screen.

Director James Cameron is an inspirational and visionary director who will be remembered forever for his idea of creating the ‘Pandora Planet’. His vision toward the movie, technical department, sound design and everything can be seen on the screen. He took care of every single detail from the movie that looks completely out of the world. Audience will wait for as many years from now for the release of next parts from Avtar franchise after watching this astounding sequel from the director. Hope the next parts from the franchise are much bigger and much enthralling.

Overall, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is once in a life time kind of movie that has to be experienced only on big screens and we recommend watching this movie in 3D format to experience the spectacle and to drown more into this planet of Pandora.

Plus Points:

  • Everything

Minus Points:

  • Length of the film (As it might not be appealing for everyone).

Rating: 4.25/5
