Avatar 2: The Way of Water is a classic perfection with stunning visuals and graphics emphasising traditional family values that tell a great deal about this movie. I had a beautiful cinematic experience watching it in IMAX 3D. It was visually terrific but the storyline was a little monotonous and predictable as it was not much different from the first Avatar movie. This plot mainly revolves around Jake's family seeking sanctuary in the Metkayina clan, also known as the Reef People. The new inclusions in this movie are the additions of Jake and Neytiri's truculent kids, Kiri (Dr Grace's kid), Spider (Colonel Quaritch's kid) and them abandoning the forest to live safely among the Reef people. The antagonist, Colonel Quaritch remains the same in Avatar 2 but this time he is portrayed in his avatar form. The focus shifts from mining Unobtanium to poaching tulkus (a highly intelligent whale) to obtain Amrita, a golden liquid that can stop ageing. The battle scenes between the revengeful Colonel Quaritch and the Sullys were absolutely magical, although they were violent as well. From a 12-year-old's point of view, James Cameron is truly one of the greatest directors and visionaries of our time and I'm looking forward to seeing more wholesome Avatar movies like this one.
