There is no doubt Avatar: The Way of Water is magical. James Cameron once again brings a spectacular experience to audiences around the world. Another trip to Pandora is well worth the three plus hours. And, let’s not forget about the bonus features that delve behind the scenes and show the making of this beautiful film. Watching the actors “perform” under water then seeing the actual CGI versions is amazing.

So, what’s the story with this beautiful sequel? Jake Sully, Neytiri, and their kids are enjoying a peaceful life in the forest. But when the “sky people” return with the mission to kill Jake, things go from idyllic to dangerous.  To keep his family safe Jake takes them to the reef people where they are welcomed (after a brief period of getting used to the people and their ways) and once again they begin to enjoy their lives together. Living in and around the water with all the sea creatures is a new experience for them but it is welcomed since they are safe…for the time being.

They are soon discovered by the evil humans and must once again fight for their survival. These scenes are not for the faint of heart. And yes, there are some deaths among the “good” people, so keep that in mind when showing this to young viewers who might be upset by this aspect of the story. 

The CGI scenes are magnificent, however, and the bioluminescence is nothing less than magical. As a matter of fact, this film has awoken a desire for me and my family to return to Walt Disney World in Florida to walk through Pandora. It might be a small recreation but it is a memorable experience.

As for the film, it does live up to all the hype. As far as sequels go, this is one of the best that has been produced in a long time.

The small Na’vis are adorable, especially when they are babies. And Jake and Neytiri’s youngest daughter Tuk is so cute to watch. 

This is an enjoyable, albeit long, movie. The two main deaths make it heartbreaking, however. Avatar: The Way of Water is rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence and intense action, partial nudity, and some strong language.

Fans can now add the film to their digital movie collection in spectacular 4K Ultra HD™ quality and immersive Dolby Atmos audio. Plus, they can enjoy over three hours of never-before-seen bonus content featuring the filmmakers, cast and crew. ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is available exclusively to purchase on Digital now.
