AvatarTheWayOfWater is a 'cinematic spectacle,' says ComicBook's LiamTCrowley in his five-star review. Full review:
James Cameron is no stranger to being a Hollywood revolutionary. The critically acclaimed director is credited with birthing iconic franchises like Terminator and Alien and boasts two of the three highest-grossing films of all time in the form of Titanic and Avatar. The latter is championed as one of the movie industry's biggest achievements for its groundbreaking visual effects and its overall immersive experience.
Simply put, Metkayina is beautiful. Cameron takes his time with exploring this new landscape but maximizes every minute in doing so. The Way of Water has plenty of action to keep audiences entertained, but it's far from high-octane fisticuffs for all three hours. That said, some of those quieter moments are the most memorable scenes in the film.
That's not to say The Way of Water is all peace and serenity. This film boasts a second-to-none third act that capitalizes on nearly every minute detail set up in the first two hours, making the final battle feel like a genuine reward for investing in this modern-day odyssey. Worthington eclipses his prior performance in The Way of Water due to the fact that he has the chance to emote more. Jake has much more at stake in this film, which gives him a multi-dimensional aura, a step-up from his arguable one-note behavior in the predecessor. Following her breakout performance in 2009's Avatar, leading woman Zoe Saldaña is strong once again, despite having a little less prevalence in this film.
