Avatar: The Way of the Water: What the hell did I just watch? How am I even supposed to review this? Feels like Cameron never intended for a sequel because the first hour is basically him modifying the story so he can re use actors and set up more films. It's poorly written and doesn't make much sense but does at least set up an interesting premise. Then we get the 2nd hour 2nd act that was a huge snooze fest developing the new characters and showing off the water effects. This was all teen angst and self indulgent cinematography. Could have used this opportunity to expand on some of the interesting sci fi concepts but instead the deepest theme here is colonialism is bad. Finally there is the last hour which is some of the best paced thrilling action you will ever see. It also doesn't make too much sense but damn it's entertaining and sort of pays off some of the previous build up. Overall this is beautiful looking with great action but over long and poorly written. If it was edited to 2 hours I would definitely recommend but don't think the 192 minutes is worth it. 6/10
