Movie review: Avatar: The way of water

Let’s begin from where the Avatar had left us last time. We had witnessed former marine Jake Sully giving up his human form in 2009 when he fell for Neytiri and his heart started beating for Na’vi people.

This time around it starts with showing the Sully family settled and happy with its Forest people with Jake leading the pack, ingesting disciplines in his sons. He very well knows the ills of letting their guards down, and trains well as to how to be great warriors and protect the people.

On the other hand, the “Sky people” are back with their greed of plundering Pandora for its natural resources. Sr Sully soon gets a rather tough realization when he had to get his kids released from the foes that it would be better for everyone for them to move on to another place, and that place happens to be Metkayina, the home of amphibious reef people led by Tonowaris.

The automated world is uncannily amazing and very involving. It’s only its overstretched, many times unnecessarily elongated plot drags you out of otherwise an engaging journey.
