As our Avatar: The Way of Water review explains, this is the one film you truly must see in theaters this year.
The essentialness of seeing a movie in a theater is often overblown, as it’s the quality of the art itself that will ultimately resonate. Yet occasionally, there are films that scream out to be watched on the biggest and best screen possible.is certainly one of those, as James Cameron’s second venture into Pandora is filled with thrills, grand sights, and the most effective 3D I’ve ever experienced.is its themes and appreciation of both life and nature.
In the 13 years between the films, Jake Sully has been busy with Neytiri, as they now have a full clan of children. While each of the four children plays a pivotal role, it is the younger son Lo’ak , who has trouble adjusting to their new island life and feels like a screw-up due to his father’s high expectations, that really serves as the emotional core for the movie.
Also brilliant in the film is Sigourney Weaver, who plays a dual role due to flashbacks as Dr. Grace Augustine and new scenes as Kiri, who was somehow birthed from Augustine’s Na’vi form. While it’s sort of goofy that Weaver is playing a teenager, she gives an energetic and youthful performance and it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role.
Complicating matters is that Quaritch’s son, Miles, was too young to be transported back to Earth and was raised on Pandora with the Na’vi and the few human scientists that were allowed to stay on the planet. This results in one of the most intriguing relationships in the entire movie.
