What You Must Know Earlier than ‘The Means of Water’

The rap on the primary Avatar — despite the fact that it’s the highest-grossing movie within the historical past of cinema — is that nobody remembers it. Supposedly, James Cameron’s magnum opus left behind no cultural footprint by any means. I are inclined to disagree; no person who noticed Avatar forgot the characters’ distinctive look, or the superior 3D aerial sequences. I actually didn’t.

Nonetheless, it has been 13 years since Avatar first opened in theaters. That’s a very long time. (Marvel has launched 28 motion pictures within the intervening years. 28! Plus tv reveals!) So even for those who did see Avatar and do bear in mind its broad strokes, you is likely to be a little bit fuzzy on the small print. And with the sequel, Avatar: The Means of Water, lastly coming to theaters, you positively would possibly need to brush up on a few of the specifics. Plus, the brand new film options a whole lot of returning actors, however some are taking part in the identical characters, and others are taking part in new characters. A minimum of one or two are taking part in a personality who died within the first film! So it may well get a little bit complicated.

To that finish, I ready this primer on all of the essential characters and plot factors from the primary Avatar. That is the important stuff you want to know earlier than the you head again to Pandora.

That’s the place Avatar left issues for The Means of Water, which opens in theaters on December 16. And if you wish to revisit Avatar for your self, it’s at present streaming on Disney+. Whether or not you bear in mind it or not, you is likely to be stunned to see how nicely it holds up 13 years later.
