The press has already seen Avatar: The Sense of Water (we mortals will have to wait to December 16) and the first reviews could not be more positive. According to the media, the tape fixes all the bugs of its predecessor, is capable of surprising again on a technical level and is presented as a cinematographic spectacle that no one should miss. Everything is flattery for a James Cameron who seemed to be right by insisting on the issue of sequels.
better than the first
“It is an endless visual spectacle. A story better told and more complex than the first. Really exciting, although it could let its characters grow a bit more. Very long, but with the best 3D images and techniques we’ve ever seen. Its more than 3 hours of duration end up being most satisfying. And till ends up making you wait for the third part. A visual feast, never boringpacked with creative play.” — Brandon Davis, ComicBook.
It makes you want the third part
“It’s incredible. I had faith and knew that James Cameron would raise the bar with the new visual effects, but the images are amazing. Each frame is more impressive than the lastr Y on this occasion the technical feats feel at the service of Pandora, its world and characters. Story wise, he powerfully and effectively explores the feeling of community and family dynamics. The repeating cast is great, but the most prominent are the newcomers, new faces like Britain Dalton. And yes, this one has made me want to see more Avatar movies.” — Perri Nemiroff, Collider.
Remind others how movies are made
“Never bet against James Cameron. Avatar: The Sense of Water beats the original on every level. Incredible visuals, but with a much more emotional connection and a better story and characters. The final hour is Cameron reminding the other successful filmmakers how it’s done.“. —Sean O’Connell, Cinema Blend.
From another planet
“I’m almost convinced that James Cameron filmed Avatar: The Sense of Water on another planet. The movie is absolutely stunning and immersive. It’s long, but I was committed to it the whole time. Like Avatar 13 years ago, this movie is a cinematic achievement and a must-see event“. —Joseph Deckelmeier, Screenrant.
Less self-righteous lessons
“I liked, I didn’t love it. The good news is that the 3D is good again and the action is amazing (especially the final act). But a lot of his stories would need to pause a bit. It’s pretty to look at, although the high frame rate issue was imperceptible to me. In any case, I like it better than the 2009 one, if only because this one It’s not about a white man saving other cultures again.“. —Amon Warmann, Empire Magazine.
Titanic vibes
“Avatar: The Sense of Water is phenomenal. Bigger, better and more emotional. The film is visually stunning, visceral and fascinating. The story, the spectacle, the spirituality, the beauty. This is making movies and storytelling at its best. It’s Cameron leaning on Cameron’s manual. There are vibes from Titanic, from Terminator 2, from Risky Lies, from Abyss. It’s Cameron on form, combining tremendous visuals and a highly entertaining and emotional story that leaves you wanting more. I love him! I feel like when I came out of Top Gun Maverick in that sense that remember why we love movies. It’s a great show on the big screen. Entertain BIG. It’s a trip to remember.” — Erik Davis, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes.
Storytelling at the highest level
“Bigger, better, and more emotional than Avatar. Visually takes your breath away. It’s visceral and incredible. This is filmmaking and storytelling at the highest level.” — Zack Sharf, Variety.
