The eponymous concept of the avatar gave the first film its speculative sci-fi USP, and also served to imbue its wide-eyed army puke protagonist – Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully – with a workable if hardly earth-shattering dramatic dilemma. This aspect is swept aside as ground already covered in the new one, which instead goes for a straight-up Na’vi-vs-“Sky People” (humans) battle for the future. Sully himself is less of a central presence, as is his sultry wife Neytiri as played by Zoe Saldana. The baton has been passed along to their teenage brood, which comprises a quartet of oikish, hot-headed boys and sensitive, maternal girls.Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang hailed Cameron as "one of the few Hollywood visionaries who actually merits that much-abused term" and said the film will "stun most of his naysayers into silence", while also praising the film's tenderness and sentimentality. [255] Entertainment Weekly critic Leah Greenblatt summarized her review of The Way of Water saying that it "created its own whole-cloth reality, a meticulous world-building as astonishing and enveloping as anything we've ever seen on screen — until that crown is passed, inevitably, in December 2024, the projected release date for Avatar 3."
