Avatar - The Way of the Water (2022): Movie Review

                                                                                            


Jim's Review

Avatar The Way of Water has finally made to theatres after the original Avatar (2009) was a smashing success worldwide, making $1.46 billion worldwide

In this next chapter Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Ney'tiri (Zoe Zaldana) have a large family and are enjoying life for the most part. This is until there adolescent kid begin not to listen to them and get in trouble trying to be heroes!

This until Jake and his leave Pandora to go elsewhere because Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and his gang of mercenaries on hot on his trail.

I won't reveal any more of the plot because it is a great movie to watch in whatever format you like, I watched it in 2D many people including Director James Cameron suggest in 3D

What I will say is this following.. it is 3hrs long!  

It doesn't seem like it is while you are watching because the pace is very steady and interesting as the plot begins to reveal itself in very cool layered format.

Even though I gave it a high mark (well deserved!) I my movie opinion it could have been 30 minutes shorter they were many scenes that were very repetitive as if Mr. Cameron need to drive home the point.

9 out of 10


* By the time I watched this film it had surpassed $2.0 Billions dollars worldwide and still counting

* I have added the additional Avatar movies coming all the way until 2028

About film

The Big Sick (2017): Movie Review


                                                          

                     Jim Pagiamtzis review
                     Base on true story. Kumail Nanjiani and awesome cast bring this story to life with comedy, family drama and culture clash in the movie which will make you laugh and cry and truly understand how family values are important yet challenged by many cultures.

         6 out of 10 stars
