“Avatar 2” just finished its first press screenings today and the verdict is in. People like it!
James Cameron may have a “titanic” hit on his hands. Most everyone who’s checked in on social media says the sequel, some 13 years after the original, is better than the first one.
The movie is entirely animated and in stunning 3D. There’s a lot of blue and a lot of water, Sigourney Weaver plays a 14 year old. (In real life, she’s 21.)
Actual reviews won’t come out til next week, but social media “impressions” are allowed now. The consensus is that the movie is “visually stunning” if so far the story itself is not getting the same glowing reactions. The movie is three hours long.
Many Twitter observations run along the lines of “Never bet against James Cameron.” Indeed. He knows how to make a spectacle!
Critic and blogger Ed Douglas writes: “Like the OG Avatar, #AvatarTheWayOfWater takes some time to really get rolling, and though it hits a few lulls, it looks glorious with next level visual FX, and ultimately, I will see it again without hesitation. Lots of new younger characters in this one.”
Oscar debate now commences. Certainly Best Animated Film and all the below the line categories will be flooded with names from this film.
