Avatar: The Way of Water Review - James Cameron Creates A Never-Seen-Before Visual Spectacle Yet Again!

The master of cinematic grandeur, James Cameron, is back with another banger, Avatar: The Way of Water. Avatar (2009) took a generation by storm with its never-seen-before visual spectacle in an unseen 3D format, and the box office number sparked to beat the long-standing Titanic (1997), again a Cameron film. Someone wants to bet against him for a sequel? Think again. You'll have to slap yourself. Aliens (1986; the prequel was by Ridley Scott, though), Terminator 2 (1991, a groundbreaking sequel to his own groundbreaking classic), and now Avatar 2, Cameron hits a Hat Trick of fulfilling sequels. The first generation of cinema lovers told us about grandeur in films like A Trip To The Moon (1902), Cabiria (1914), Napolean (1927), Metropolis (1927), and Cleopatra (1934), the next generation told us about The Ten Commandments (1956), Ben-Hur (1959), the next group was mad about Star Wars (1977), ET: The Extra Terrestrial (1982), Jurassic Park (1991), and then came the generation of Titanic and Avatar, of which somehow I was part. Now I'll tell my next generation about the magnificent visual phenomenon of Avatar: The Way of Water.Avatar: The Way of Water takes place a decade after the first film. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) are living together, but they are a family of six now. They have two sons, one daughter, and one adopted daughter (of Dr. Grace) and continue to fight the sky people to prevent Pandora. Colonel Miles Quaritch's resurrected avatar (Stephen Lang) seeks vengeance on Jake and Neytiri and is willing to go to any length to get it. As the threat becomes more dangerous, Jake decides to leave Pandora and migrate with his family. The Sullys take shelter at the waterland called Metkayina, ruled by Tonowari (Cliff Curtis) and his wife, Ronal (Kate Winslet). Will Jake and his family manage to stop the Sky People by running away like this? Avatar: The Way of Water is all about this epic battle.Somehow, I have always believed that Cameron's high-budget films are not about good stories. Be it Aliens, Terminator, Titanic, or Avatar, they all had sort of decent stories, but yes, the ideas were brilliant. Cameron's extraordinary vision and unseen kind of visualisation always had us drooling. Avatar 2 isn't a great script, just like its predecessor, but I bet you can show me a more visually stunning experience. I know you can't, because there aren't any. The visual hysteria of Avatar (2009) has remained unbeaten for 13 years, only because James Cameron was busy making Avatar 2. I just can't imagine what would have happened if he had succeeded in cracking those groundbreaking non-glasses 3D effects. I wouldn't have left the auditorium then, I guess. The family is expanded here and so are emotions. Avatar 2 employs the same trick that Cameron employed in Avatar, and some of its elements may remind you of the first film. It's like the same treatment again, but in a different world. Avatar had Pandora and too many humans, while The Way of Water has too much water and fewer humans. Believe me, Metkayina is more spectacular than Pandora. You can drop your thousand bucks for the ticket purchase now.It's difficult to judge the performances of avatars, as they are such rare creatures that you don't see often. Something that bothers me while reviewing animated and other artificial films, too. Here, it's sort of a mix, and the actors have really had to put in extra effort to showcase avatars as humans. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Brendan Cowell, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald have put their souls into making the characters look real. But anyway, who watches Avatar films for acting? Who are we kidding?Avatar: The Way of Water's biggest USP is its existence on the big screen. If you can really divide films into a new theme called "visual masterpieces," then Avatar: The Way of Water is that film and the table topper too. I had to pinch myself a couple of times to believe that it was happening for real on the big screen. The visualisation is simply outstanding. Even the word "outstanding" doesn't do it justice. It looks impossible that someone can really create such a world and keep you amazed for three hours with so many amazing visuals. How can I name one or two? It's like a house full of surprises, and you just can't help loving every single moment on screen. You know, I have wondered why people make films in 3D when you can't show the 3D effects throughout the film. A genius like Nolan knew it, so he didn't make 3D films. Instead, he went for IMAX and created a visual spectacle. Other directors weren't that smart, but Cameron was living in a whole different world. He knew people couldn't watch two or three hours of film with glasses on because you couldn't offer every single second in 3D format. So, he created an unknown world that can only be viewed in 3D.Avatar: The Way of Water will leave you speechless with its astonishing spectacle. Something that you can't imagine. Only James Cameron can. Dear Jim, what soil are you made of? How do you manage to leave us in awe with your vision every single time? When was the last time this man disappointed us? Talk about visual effects and theatrical experience, and I'd say Avatar 2 is magnificent, fantastic, outstanding, crazy, insane, amazing, miraculous, unbelievable, and what not. Just assume every superlative word that comes to your mind. The way James has mixed those 30 fps and 60 fps frameworks is the greatest example of cinematic majesty. If you understand what it is, then you'll be blown away by it. The cinematography, the background score, the crystal-clear 3D effects, the sound design, the screenplay, and Cameron's extraordinary vision will all force you to stand up and clap for the entire team of Avatar: The Way of Water. Yet another groundbreaking visual phenomenon by master Cameron—that's the least I can say. Don't miss the biggest motion picture event of our generation, no matter what the ticket costs. An IMAX 3D or 4DX experience will take you to another world for sure.
