What You Need to Know Before ‘The Way of Water’

The rap on the primary Avatar — regardless that it’s the highest-grossing movie within the historical past of cinema — is that nobody remembers it. Supposedly, James Cameron’s magnum opus left behind no cultural footprint by any means. I are inclined to disagree; no person who noticed Avatar forgot the characters’ distinctive look, or the superior 3D aerial sequences. I actually didn’t.

Nonetheless, it has been 13 years since Avatar first opened in theaters. That’s a very long time. (Marvel has launched 28 motion pictures within the intervening years. 28! Plus tv reveals!) So even for those who did see Avatar and do keep in mind its broad strokes, you is likely to be a little bit fuzzy on the main points. And with the sequel, Avatar: The Method of Water, lastly coming to theaters, you positively may wish to brush up on a few of the specifics. Plus, the brand new film options lots of returning actors, however some are enjoying the identical characters, and others are enjoying new characters. A minimum of one or two are enjoying a personality who died within the first film! So it could get a little bit complicated.

To that finish, I ready this primer on all of the essential characters and plot factors from the primary Avatar. That is the important stuff you want to know earlier than the you head again to Pandora.

That’s the place Avatar left issues for The Method of Water, which opens in theaters on December 16. And if you wish to revisit Avatar for your self, it’s presently streaming on Disney+. Whether or not you keep in mind it or not, you is likely to be shocked to see how properly it holds up 13 years later.
