Avatar: The Way of Water

After watching first Avatar movie I was stunned, everything was perfect. I watched the movie hundreds of times. The expectation was very high.

The visual of the movie is very fantastic. The 3D seems real. It was a great experience visually. Overwhelmed with the visual effects.

The story was missing, it seems like a very common story. It was very predictable. Some scene was elongated which was boring. Seems like watching discovery channel in 3D in the cinema.

My personal rating is 7 for this movie only for the visualisation of the Pandora's water & the animals under the water. May be for the movie I would give a 5.

We have got lot's of finest movies from Jams Cameroon. He is one of the talented directors of all time. We expect something better than this.

I watched the movie by pausing it at certain intervals and sometimes letting it play in the background while I did other things. The main reason for this approach was that the film lacked a strong screenplay and the story failed to captivate me. The narrative felt disjointed and lacked a cohesive flow, making it difficult for me to stay fully engaged.

While the film excelled in its visual presentation, aiming to enchant the audience with its stunning imagery, it relied heavily on this aspect alone. The visuals were undeniably breathtaking, and the cinematography was top-notch. Each frame was meticulously crafted to create a visually immersive experience. However, the reliance on visuals seemed to overshadow the importance of a well-developed and compelling storyline.

In comparison to its predecessor, this film fell short in terms of narrative depth and character development. The first installment of the series had a captivating story that kept me on the edge of my seat, whereas this sequel seemed to prioritize style over substance. The lack of a strong, engaging plot left me wanting more, as the film failed to deliver the same level of excitement and emotional investment.

Although I had high expectations for this film, considering the visual enchantment it promised, I was ultimately disappointed by its shallow storytelling. It left me yearning for a more substantial narrative that would have complemented its mesmerizing visuals. Overall, I found this film to be a letdown, as it didn't live up to the potential set by its predecessor and left me longing for a more well-rounded cinematic experience.

With over a decade of technology improvement, the movie provides even better visuals, more believable CGI(not that the first one didn't), it also continues the beautiful cinematography.

But, the script is far inferior to the last one. The movie tries to focus on "family", and with Jake and Neytiri already had a movie, this one focus heavily on the children. But most of the plot lines fall into the trap of being a set-up for sequels. A few plots left unanswer in the end and a few plots begin after the mid point and already wrap after just after being introduced. Some of the charcaters are downgraded into 1 dimensional and some do not learn anything meaningful throughout the story. And the focus of the movie shifts completely once entered the third act which diminishes all the set-up from before.

In conclusion, definitely a must watch, better visuals but slightly worst script.

Movie exceeds all the CGI anyone can possibly expect, but the storyline fails to overwhelm the audience. Id say 70% of the film is about family bonding and descriptions of culture on Pandora. Had it been on Discovery or Nat Geo, itd have been awesome. But thats not what people going in to watch the movie would want to see in a 3 hr movie.

The action starts out at the beginning and in the end with detailsed description of the life of the Naavi comprising the major chunk of the film in the middle.

Personally I was unable to sit through the movie in one go. Finished it in 3 sittings while skipping through many scenes I felt were totally unnecessary.

"Avatar: The Way of Water" is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to the high expectations set by the original film. While the movie boasts stunning visuals and a unique underwater world, it lacks the emotional depth and compelling storyline that made the first film so memorable.

The biggest issue with "Avatar: The Way of Water" is its lackluster storyline. The plot is thin and predictable, with little to no character development. The film relies heavily on clichéd tropes and predictable twists, leaving the audience feeling underwhelmed and uninvested in the outcome.

Another problem with the movie is its pacing. The movie is slow and meandering, with scenes that drag on for too long and fail to move the story forward. The underwater scenes are beautiful, but they can also be overwhelming and repetitive, leaving the audience feeling numb rather than immersed in the story.

The characters in "Avatar: The Way of Water" are also disappointing. Despite the efforts of the talented cast, the characters are one-dimensional and lack the depth and complexity of those in the original film. Even the villain is cartoonish and uninteresting, with no real motivation or backstory to make them compelling.

Overall, "Avatar: The Way of Water" is a lackluster sequel that fails to capture the magic and emotional resonance of the first film. While it may appeal to fans of the original for its stunning visuals and familiar world-building, it ultimately falls short in terms of storytelling and character development."
