Impressive, enchanting, touching
The most veracious depiction of human being in history of movie. As impressive as the first Avatar - what a message! I am usually not a fan of efects but this is beautiful to watch. I was worried that the lenght of the film makes it difficult to watch without pause but there was not a boring moment. I hope the third part will have the same attitude. The beauty of sea creatures is pictured as impressively as the spirit of the woods in first part. The difficulties facing youngs and kids amongst their age group is also taken to notice very well. Canadian directors often touch my heart more than their Southern neibourghs. - fadybaseleem - 25 May 2024
A Cinematic Tsunami of CGI, but the Plot is Just a Ripple!
Avatar 2 splashes onto the screen with jaw-dropping visuals and mind-blowing special effects that'll make your eyes pop like a Na'vi's. The underwater scenes are so mesmerizing, you might start checking for gills on your neck! But hey, hold up, it's not all smooth sailing in this ocean of CGI wonders.
While the movie dives deep into the ocean, the story stays afloat on familiar shores. It's like déjà vu all over again as we see echoes of the first Avatar. The characters, well, some of them are as deep as a puddle, lacking that extra dimension that would make them truly dive-worthy. And let's not forget the sudden shifts in focus that can leave you feeling like you're caught in a rip current.
This sequel is like a rollercoaster ride through an underwater world, with highs and lows that'll leave you gasping for air. The pacing can be as choppy as the sea on a stormy day, with some parts feeling like they're treading water for too long. At nearly 3 hours, you might find yourself wishing for a life raft to rescue you from the boredom.
In the end, Avatar: The Way of Water is a cool dive into a visually stunning world, but it's not without its rough waters. It's like a treasure chest with some shiny gems but also a few sea cucumbers. With a bit of editing magic, trimming about 20 minutes could turn this voyage from a marathon into a sprint without losing any of its charm. So grab your snorkel, hold your breath, and get ready for a ride that's worth a solid 6 out of 10!
