Serving as the first sequel to James Cameron’s blockbuster phenomenon, this movie takes viewers back into the world of Pandora and reunites them with beloved characters Jake and Neytiri as they raise their family amidst a new rising threat to their world.
Since the success of the first Avatar movie, James Cameron always expressed interest in continuing Jake and Neytiri’s story and announced that there would be four sequels in total with the first released in cinemas on December 16, 2022.
Nominated for four Academy Awards and grossing a profit of over $2 billion worldwide, The Way of Water proves itself to be a thrilling and exciting sequel to the 2009 success.
Where To Watch Avatar: The Way Of Water
Critics and audiences have described the movie as ‘ground-breaking and ambitious’ and a wonderful return to the breathtaking world of Pandora. Having made a big splash at the box office and winning an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, The Way of Water does better than Avatar, in so many ways. Directed by James Cameron and produced alongside Jon Landau, this movie promises viewers an exciting return to the visually stunning world of Pandora and brings a new adventure for the beloved characters from the original film. You can watch Avatar: The Way of Water now on Max, Prime Video, and Disney Plus.
What Is Avatar: The Way of Water All About?
Taking place a decade after the events of the first movie, Avatar: The Way of Water sees Jake Sully and Neytiri settled and raising their family in Pandora. Since he transferred into his avatar at the end of the first film, Jake has risen to become chief of the Omatikaya clan and is devoted to his family.
Life is peaceful for the family until a threat from their past makes a return to colonize and destroy Pandora. Realizing the threat to their home and their family, Jake and Neytiri have no choice but to leave their home and gather the Omatikaya clan to battle the RDA once again in a fight to save their planet and their lives.
With the immense critical and commercial success of the first film, this sequel certainly has some big shoes to fill. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana return to the characters Jake and Neytiri, respectively, and this movie offers audiences a continuation of their story, bringing in elements from their past that threaten their future. While the film doesn’t forget the visual spectacles that made the original a success, it promises a strong, captivating story that keeps audiences wanting more.
