'Avatar: The Way of Water' bests the original film in almost every way, writes usatodaylife movie critic briantruitt. Read his full review:
The first of four planned sequels to the 2009 sci-fi epic, bests the original film in almost every way. It’s a gorgeous and stunning thing to look at, with awesome sights of underwater fauna, and the new movie is an emotionally charged outing that again dips into themes of colonization while adding environmental issues and relatable family drama.
Their peaceful existence is disrupted by mankind once again when a much bigger force, led by General Frances Ardmore , lands on Pandora looking to take it over as a replacement for the increasingly unlivable Earth. This time, the humans have also created their own 9-foot-tall cloned Na’vi soldiers, including one with the DNA and memories of original movie villain Miles Quaritch , last seen taking two fatal arrows in the chest from Jake and Neytiri.Jake is No.
The second “Avatar” brings back most of the first film’s main characters plus a swath of newcomers, yet it’s the youngsters, especially Kiri and Lo'ak, who really drive the sequel’s strong coming-of-age story.
