Avatar: The Way of Water

It is, most obviously a movie that requires careful rationing of drink-intake because of the staggering length of the film!

Above, my favorite review I saw online, below, I wore my newly thrifted blue thrifted dress for an all-blue Avatar-inspired movie going look.

I'm going to be honest and avoid spoilers by saying:

It was not worth the 20 year wait. I wish we waited to watch it at home. I forgot how much I hate people and theaters (it had been a while since I saw a premium (not silver screen night) movie and man, was the person next to me reactive and talkative at EVERY scene, driving me NUTS!

People in the theater can definitely effect your movie going experience for sure!

Was there very much plot or anything different to offer than the original in terms of character development and story richness? Not really, no.

Did you love the offspring of the main couple from Avatar 1? No. I kind of hated the kids, to be honest. They all looked EXACTLY the same, and did not offer much at all, in my opinion, to the plot. Was 4 kids really necessary? Does each one get their own movie? Is that how they are going to stretch out the franchise to allow 4 more?

I will be the first to say that yes, the animation and visuals were STUNNING and beautiful, if not overly gruesome (with whale-like poaching a major plot point). I do also really NOT enjoy the excessive violence in general and overly used shoot-em-up scenes that really dragged multiple times in the film.

If it was up to me, I could have easily cut out a whole 30 minutes if not 45 from the film to make it neater and more fast paced.

Did you see it? What did you think? xx
