What’s up with Jake Sully ?
It so happens that in the new Avatar Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) already has a family, and not the smallest one. Together with Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) they had a bunch of kids. Unfortunately, the old enemy and the people of heaven continue to disturb their peace, which forces the main character and his loved ones to move – they leave their tribe and join the Metkayin water clan. Will they be able to adapt?
Attempts to adapt to the new environment, family conflicts and difficulties are the most interesting feature of this production. A very important lesson can be drawn from it: you can do anything to protect your family. It’s hard to avoid mistakes that can negatively affect close relationships. Despite this, the family always sticks together.
Unfortunately, the rest of the story presented in the film was predictable and boring for me. It was definitely influenced by its length, because it lasts over three hours. After so much time, the moral of family became irritating and repetitive. What’s more, Sully’s conflict with his archenemy is constructed so simply that everything can be guessed after several dozen minutes of the screening.
This does not mean that I rate the entire plot unambiguously negative. I think it would make a better impression on the viewer if the production was shorter.

And my mother
In the new Avatar we meet a whole range of new characters. The plots of Sully’s children are the most developed, but I liked the new water tribe. James Cameron took care of such details as the differences in the bodies of forest blueskins and those who spend their lives by the water. Jake Sully and his loved ones are adapted to jumping on trees, and new friends to whom the main character moves – to fast swimming and long stays under water. Every such detail is admirable, and you can see a lot of them in the construction of the characters’ bodies.
National Geographic, but with celestial beings
Avatar: The Entity of Water is a great spectacle. The beautiful landscapes, especially in the IMAX version, are breathtaking. Both locations where the action takes place – forest and water – make it impossible to take your eyes off the screen. Long scenes focusing only on showing the beauty of Pandora are the best part of the film. However, many viewers may be bored to death – there are a lot of such sequences, and I assume that most people would prefer a more elaborate story than just amazing landscapes.
I consider the return to Pandora a moderately successful one
Avatar: The Essence of Water is a title that is definitely worth seeing, especially for the visual aspects and atmosphere. However, I hope that in the next installments of Avatar , in addition to the views, we will get a more engaging and less predictable story that will match the aesthetics.
