Avatar: The Way of Water

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, learn the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

Cameron's sequel earns near-universal respect as a technical marvel, with the underwater sequences and 3D work singled out as genuine leaps forward in cinema craft — but the script divides critics sharply, with detractors finding the thin story, clichéd dialogue, and bloated runtime hard to forgive regardless of how good it looks.
