Avatar: The Way of Water movie review

Story:

Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) live happily on Pandora with their four children – Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Loak (Britain Dalton), Tuk (Trinity Bliss) and Kiri (Sigourney Weaver). They also have Spider (Jack Champion), an orphan human.

During this time, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) comes back as a special Avatar to take revenge on Jake Sully and his people. He kidnaps Spider and takes him away.

In order to protect his family, Jake decides to shift his home to a new place, where the Metkayina clan lives.

But, Colonel and his Sky people are inbound to this new home too. How the forest and water people together save their families from the humans forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

The story of the movie is almost revealed in the trailer itself. However, director James Cameron makes the movie a visual treat to watch with amazing characterisations and screenplay.

He has kept things single yet entertaining and has connected both the parts in a convincing manner. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana have once again delivered solid performances.

However it is the children who steal the show with their performances. Their innocence and their hunger to learn new things are shown in an exciting manner.

Cliff Curtis and Kate Winslet as the leaders of the Metkayina clan make their presence felt. Stephen Lang is at his villainy best and is terrifying.

The Tamil version has been dubbed well making the regional audience connect with the film. The VFX surprasses expectations and is a complete visual treat.

The underwater scenes are very impressive. Simon Franglen’s music adds more strength to the movie.

Rating: 3.7/5
