Avatar: The Way of Water Ratings & Reviews
- Eric BakkeOctober 9, 2024I don't think anyone was asking James Cameron for an Avatar sequel. Man that was long.
- Spencer MB21h agoI saw this in 3D+IMAX+High Framerate 3 times... If you aren't onboard with this series after seeing this movie, then I don't know what to tell ya.
- PunisherMarch 23, 2025A great sequel to the story that shows more from Pandora and starts where the first part stopped. We can continue to be curious how the journey continues.
- DerekJune 4, 2025I love this movie. Absolutely beautiful
- neuroparadox2d agoIn a movie with actual drones, there's sure a lot of people operating easily-droned machines... Plus, the water effects are the best ever but still uncanny. Give 10 years and quantum computing and we'lI see. ..maybe for Avatar 3: Electric Boogalee. The story? I find I have an easier time with suspension of disbelief for the John Wick series. OTOH: Best looking 3-hour videogame cutscenes supercut I've ever seen. 😀
- NicolasOctober 8, 2024Visually nice. Scenario is shit
- mickerdooJuly 22, 2025Felt they did the same thing in a different way. Same bad guy. Just whaling underlining. However, sea battle was very cool. Great effects.
- baumy1963July 20, 2025Too long, way too long
- Kevin WardJuly 5, 2025Jaw dropping visual spectacle for most of it’s epic runtime and worthy of traveling the extra mile to see it on the biggest 3D IMAX screen with the high frame rate. With the setting having moved out of the lush forests of the first film and into a vibrant oceanic world, a lot of time is spent getting to know this new setting—the creatures within, the new characters and this new way of life. The setting is familiar enough that it still feels like Pandora but it’s also so wildly different that all of the visuals feel refreshingly new and not just a rehash of the first film. There are times when the high frame rate distracts and effectively making it look like a video game cut scene. But honestly, I think that’s only because of how spectacular everything else looks. At worst it looks like the most expensive video game cinematic of all time. As for the main story, I didn’t really love it. A mustache twirling villain is dead set on hunting down Jake Sully at any cost. Much more interesting were some of the Sully children’s character arcs and their overall family dynamic in general was a highlight story-wise. Some of the character beats are repeated a few too many times, particularly with one of the sons, but I definitely felt more invested in the characters than I did in the first film. However, the Spider character unfortunately kind of sticks out. His motivations seems to waffle unpredictably and I just don’t know where he fits in. Like the first Avatar, there’s an earnest environmental message that permeates throughout. It’s overly simplistic but I appreciate it being there. The action set pieces, particularly in the last hour are something to behold. A marriage of exciting action and gorgeous visuals that are beyond my comprehension of how Cameron even began to put this all to film. I’m pretty mixed overall but even still I’d say this is absolutely a must watch on the biggest and best screen possible. It’s just not very often that we’re treated to a spectacle quite like this. UPDATE: Bumped to 4 stars on rewatch. Liked it quite a bit better. All of the different characters and story arcs were much easier to follow on the second watch. Saw in IMAX 3D again but without the High Frame Rate and I think I liked the visuals more this format. There were far fewer moments that felt like a video game cutscene.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 26, 2025James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece, delivering on every level imaginable—visuals, storytelling, and emotional depth. Set over a decade after the events of the first film, the sequel expands on the world of Pandora with breathtaking new landscapes and an enriched storyline that dives into the bonds of family, identity, and resilience. From the very first frame, The Way of Water engulfs you in a world so vibrant and intricate, it’s hard to believe it's not real. The new underwater environments, in particular, are a triumph of technological artistry, taking motion capture to uncharted depths. Every scene is a stunning spectacle, with the vibrant marine life, crystal-clear waters, and detailed Na’vi culture making Pandora feel more alive than ever. The film’s heart lies in its powerful narrative. At its core, this is a story of family and survival, as Jake Sully and Neytiri face both external threats and internal struggles to protect their loved ones. Cameron crafts this emotional arc with a blend of intensity and tenderness, making the characters feel more human and relatable, despite their alien appearances. This layered approach to storytelling elevates the movie beyond typical action fare, infusing each encounter with stakes that resonate deeply. Beyond the aesthetics and drama, The Way of Water is also a profound commentary on environmental stewardship and the consequences of human encroachment. Cameron masterfully weaves in themes of conservation, drawing subtle but clear parallels to our world, urging us to look at Pandora not just as a fantasy realm, but as a mirror reflecting the ecological challenges of Earth. Visually groundbreaking, emotionally charged, and thematically rich, Avatar: The Way of Water cements itself as a must-watch, proving that James Cameron has once again raised the bar for what cinema can achieve.
