Critic Reviews
"The wild glory of the visuals will take your mind off the dopiness of the dialogue."
"It is admirable as a viewing experience, but it has none of the emotional conviction that makes a true movie classic."
"It would be missing the point to call the proceedings indulgent to the point of self-infatuation: Cameron has built a new world from the remixed bits of this one, and he seems determined that we should not simply visit Pandora, we should live in it."
"Nothing more quickly hollows out a society than hatred of immigrants, whether practiced by blue aliens on Pandora or red hats in Trump’s America."
"James Cameron’s long-awaited blockbuster sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is a big, boisterous, beautiful return to Pandora."
"Avatar: The Way of Water, the long awaited sequel to Cameron’s Avatar - the highest grossing film of all time - was ultimately mesmerizing and a mind-blowing immersive visual experience taking audiences on a epic adventure unlike anything seen before."
Audience Reviews
A successful sequel that brings audiences back to Pandora after over a decade from the first movie! Looking forward to the sequels in the future!
Incredible VFX and man that HFR 3D looks so freaking good. Story isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. It’s actually pretty good. Can’t wait to see the next one in Dolby. If anyone actually reads this, Dolby has a better projector for avatar over any other theater. IMAX looks good but it’s not as bright as Dolby. Also Dolby has better sound. I’m an IMAX diehard but Dolby for this one guys.
I loved the cards trick and the disappearing
The movie still holds up!
the most incredible visual and emotional experience !!
Unbelievable have to experience to really understand
