Avatar (The Way of Water) Review
'Avatar: The Way Of Water' was released in theatres today. In this section, we are going to review the latest box-office release.
Story:
The story is set in Pandora, a fictional place that is many lakhs of kilometers away from the Earth.
The film revolves around the Forest People, the Sky People, and the Reef People. The first ones are the good guys. The second type are the bad guys. Col Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) represents them. The last type are the suspense factor.
The mythical hero Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is at the centre of the drama. Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) is his partner. When they and their other clan members are threatened by the antagonists, they seek refuge in a distant land, with Reef People coming to their help.
Analysis:
The American epic science fiction action film uses jargon like insurgency mission, guerilla campaign, and all to build an ecstatic screenplay. A stark feature of the James Cameron directorial is that its visuals take your breath away. The gargantuan budget on which 'Avatar 2' has been made is scintillating. And the impact dwarfs that developed by any of the Marvel movies in years.
'Avatar 2' acquires the features of a sentimental movie, with the family's emotions playing a key role in how the story is delivered. The first half sets up the story with so much brilliance. The second half, which is longer than the first half in the Indian release, is composed of astonishing graphics.
The director has been quoted as saying that he delayed the release of 'Avatar 2', as he waited for the human eye to evolve. It seems our eyes have evolved enough and that's why he has released it now. The graphics are meticulous, no visual is ordinary, and everything is as surreal as it can get. That's why watching this movie also deserves some mental evolution.
Usually, in Hollywood superhero movies, the danger is always lurking around the corner. It becomes tiresome to watch the template-driven Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even their action sequences have been torn apart by trenchant critics. If RRR's action spectacle has been praised, it is because of the predictability and lifelessness of some of the superhero movies. 'Avatar 2', for once, makes the best use of Hollywood's culture of staging eventful scenes. And those visuals are melded with sentiment and emotions.
The actors are believable; their emotions hit home. The finale tugs at your heartstrings. There is no manipulation, as your experience is not supposed to be enhanced artificially with a post-credits scene.
The theatre of action underwater is filled with breathtaking visuals. The action choreography is creative and the editing is innovative. The background score comes with life.
Verdict:
'Avatar 2' is a must-watch film holding in its stomach so much excellence. You can't wait for 'Avatar 3', can you?
