Avatar: The Way of Water: After a long wait of over 13 years the sequel of James Cameron’s magnum opus ‘Avatar’ has finally hit the theaters in 2022. The original movie, which was released in 2009, was groundbreaking in every aspect. The world had not seen anything like Avatar till then and it was a sensational achievement in the field of motion pictures. The sequel, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ defies odds in a similar fashion and no wonder it has breaking records – both financially and award-wise.
For almost the entirety of the 3-hours runtime of the movie, there are no human actors on the screen. Apart from 4-5 exceptions, all the actors appear in their Na’vi forms in the movie.
