One might be forgiven for pondering, after 13 years, that an Avatar sequel would by no means see the sunshine of day. James Cameron went off did different issues; he moved to New Zealand, he experimented with farming, he may by no means have come again to motion pictures. Then he mentioned he was returning to make extra Avatar motion pictures — 4 of them! — however they saved getting pushed again. 12 months after 12 months, the promised sequels received delayed time and again. Lots of people gave up hope.
Nicely, the primary of 4 potential sequels, Avatar: The Means of Water, is lastly scheduled to return to theaters subsequent month. And one indication that this film actually is occurring this time is that it simply acquired its official ratting from the MPAA. They rated The Means of Water PG-13 “for sequences of robust violence and intense motion, partial nudity and a few robust language.”
That matches the PG-13 ranking that the unique Avatar acquired — though it was rated for considerably completely different causes. In that case, Cameron received a PG-13 for “intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and a few smoking.”
So how do the 2 movies differ? Nicely, for one factor, you’re not going to see anybody smoking onscreen in The Means of Water. (You virtually by no means see anybody smoking in American motion pictures anymore, except it’s some type of a interval piece, and even then, it’s uncommon.) Each motion pictures have violence, however Avatar had “epic battle sequences” whereas The Means of Water apparently solely has “robust violence” and “intense motion,” suggesting the set-pieces could also be slightly extra intimate (and rather less like a sci-fi struggle film) than the final time. And whereas the unique Avatar had “sensuality” this one supposedly has “partial nudity.” Make of that what you’ll.
Avatar: The Means of Water is scheduled to open in theaters on December 16.
