Video Review – Avatar: The Way of Water is a beautiful mess

December 14, 2022 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Avatar: The Way of Water…

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is the film version of that beautiful person with no personality. Avatar 2 tries to say and do a lot but comes off as a striking shell for a lackluster core.

The spectacle is there, and the violence is impressive, but this Avatar sequel doubles down on most of the plot issues from the first film and rehashes far too much to feel like a worthwhile experience. 

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of Water” begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

Avatar: The Way of Water is directed by James Cameron and sees Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Matt Gerald, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sigourney Weaver all reprising their roles from the 2009 blockbuster, while new additions to the cast include Kate Winslet, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Filip Geljo, Jamie Flatters, Bailey Bass, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Duane Evans Jr., Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, Keston John, and CJ Jones.

Return to Pandora when Avatar: The Way of Water is released in cinemas on December 16th, 2022.
