No justice to the first. Felt more like a stand alone film that was made just to set up the next, but it never really set itself to be anything but okay. I can watch the first film from time to time and it never gets old. This one got stale half way through the very first time watching. I hope the next installment is better... way better.

It would be missing the point to call the proceedings indulgent to the point of self-infatuation: Cameron has built a new world from the remixed bits of this one, and he seems determined that we should not simply visit Pandora, we should live in it.

It’s more than you can possibly imagine. A fantasy world so vivid and real it commands your full attention for 3h 12m. And when it’s done, you’ll still want to linger in this heightened state of make believe.

Rated: 4/4

We get a story this time... that part of it was great, but at 3 hours and 15 minutes, it's just too long.

Did I think this movie would be made? No. Did I think it would crack my Top 10? Also no. But here we are.

'Avatar: The Way of Water' pops with well-rendered images and vibrant colors. It's like you’re witnessing Cameron film a National Geographic documentary on an alien planet. It evokes all the senses.

Rated: A

James Cameron's Avatar sequel has stunning visuals that get elevated on a big IMAX screen. However, the plot is less than engaging, the dialogues are clunky, and you wish it was shorter.
