For Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, the film lives up to Cameron’s legacy. “The Way of Water is incredible. I had faith that James Cameron would take it to the next level with the effects, but the visuals are fantastic. One beautiful frame after another. But what I love most is how every technical resource is always at service of the characters and the universe,” he said.

Brandon Davis of ComicBook points out that the film is even more complex than the first. “Avatar: The Way of Water is a never-ending show. It’s better, with a more complex story than the first, with solid emotion, but the characters could have developed a little more. It’s a long movie, leaning on amazing visuals and the best 3D techniques”.

It suffers a little from a thin story and too many characters, but James Cameron still manages to pull it off. all for one last extraordinary act, full of emotion and action”.

Journalist Jack Shepherd, who has also watched the film, highlighted the characters and the end of the work. “Avatar: The Way of Water pushes CGI to new levels and utilizes the word ‘family’ more than any Fast & Furious film. While some characters are underused, Pandora is miraculously well placed. The underwater scenes are glorious, the latter third of the film is packed with incredible action – see it in IMAX!”
