“Avatar: The Way Of Water not only delivers upon everything its predecessor established, but advances them in ways gleaming and ocean-deep, through the eyes and heart of a cinematic storyteller with a passionate and well-documented love of the sea”
“Indeed, what is Titanic if not, among its other themes, a humbling plunge into the wonder, danger, and power of the ocean? What’s Abyss or the 2014 National Geographic film James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge if not the utmost proof of Cameron’s childlike awe of the planet’s bottomless depths?”
“the world of The Way Of Water—chiefly occupied by reef people called the Metkayina Clan—feels safe, cozy and comforting when compared to the stunning rainforest renderings of the first Avatar, which at first glance were hostile and dangerous for outsiders. And that makes sense, since water is also where Cameron himself is most content, most undeniably at home”
