![]() ![]() ![]() The Way of Water is a film that unabashedly encourages you to shut off your critical thinking and enjoy the ride - and to its credit, it really is quite a ride. Newcomers this time around include Kate Winslet and Cliff Curtis, who portray the matriarch and chief, respectively, of the water clan that gives Jake and his family sanctuary, while Jamie Flatters, Britain Dalton, and Trinity Jo-Li Bliss play Jake and Neytiri’s biological children.Īnd no, the questions raised by the children’s existence about Na’vi and human biology are never really addressed, but no one seems to give it much thought. Returning cast members Worthington, Saldaña, and Lang are joined by fellow Avatar actors Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald, as well as Sigourney Weaver, who portrays a new character in the film. With Quaritch hunting for him, Jake is forced to flee the forests with his family and take refuge among the water-dwelling clans of Na’vi. To make matters worse, the humans are accompanied by Jake’s former nemesis, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), whose mind also resides in a Na’vi avatar now. ![]() Jake and Neytiri’s idyllic life among the natural splendor of Pandora is shattered, however, when a new group of human colonizers arrives on the planet. His mind now permanently imprinted within a manufactured, hybrid Na’vi body, Jake serves as chief of the clan that first embraced him and is raising a family with his Na’vi mate, Neytiri, played again by Zoe Saldaña.

Maybe that’s why it’s a little disappointing that Avatar‘s long-awaited sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, ends up delivering such a similar, familiar experience - and as such, it doesn’t feel quite as fresh and innovative this time around. We’ve come a long way since 2009, and a lot has changed in cinema and the expectations we have for films. It was a very different time in Hollywood and one that feels incredibly distant now. ![]()
