Avatar: The Way of Water is a step up compared to its predecessor. James Cameron retains all the components that made Avatar (2009) a ground-breaking film and builds up even an aesthetically more impressive and emotionally deeper film. Finally, this time, the film is not ONLY about the stunning CGI but also about character exploration, and thus, has a more profound and sentimental plot that can incite the viewers' emotions. One of the biggest changes in Gmork's story is the emphasis on the characters.
The sequel focuses on the development of the characters particularly Jake Sully and Neytiri in terms of parenthood and protection of their family. It further develops the characters and creates a core for the story that is emotional, thus making the whole story a lot more interesting with more realistic and believable characters. The emotions, romances, friendships, and conflicts are realistic which overcomplicate the themes of the original show. Cameron also creates a unique look with the action choreography. For as strong as the first film had some stunning action sequences, The Way of Water takes it to the next level with more awesome and exciting stunts.
The fight scenes which occur especially underwater, in the sky on bikes, or some of the sequences involving large groups of extras are shot with a lot of energy and style. The action is not only grander but also crisper, which maintains the tension without compromising on the details. The underwater sequences could easily be considered the most spectacular aspect of the sequel. The director, Cameron has a passion for the ocean and this brings some of the finest stunning scenes that have perhaps ever been brought onto the big screen. Considering the underwater world of Pandora, one would be amazed to see how much the director has pushed the bar in the area of visual effects. Not only does the underwater world give a glimpse into the lives of the creatures that inhabit the ocean but the angles and light make every scene bursts with color.
