My Topic: Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Released: December 16, 2022
Introduction:
I will be watching a movie show called Avatar, The Way of Water because it was one of my favorites movies I have watched last year, and it was three hours long. The release date for Avatar 2 was on December 6, 2022, and the ratings for it were PG-13, and some inappropriate language. The Way of Water is rated PG-13 because it has some strong scenes of sci-fi violence and action, some short sexually suggestive scenes, and some themes. There is some violence in the movie, but most of it is just action and not very violent. Some minor language is used in the movie, but not much. The movie is not about anything sexual, and Avatar doesn't go along with kids under ages 10. The primary character in this movie was James Cameron who is considered one of most successful filmmakers. The plot of the movie centers on Jake and his crew as they embark on a mission to stop the destruction of Pandora. Jake Sully is played by Sam Worthington in this movie, and he and his group of scientists, military members, and Na'vi friends try to save Pandora from an environmental disaster that is about to happen. Also, When an environmental disaster threatens the world Pandora, Jake Sully, a former marine who is connected to his Avatar, must work with the native Na'vi people to save the planet. Along the way, Jake makes a strong new connection with the Na'vi and learns things about his own past that he didn't know before. The Way of Water reaches deeper into the topic of how critically important it is to acknowledge and take care of the earth's natural ecosystems in addition to examining the story's primary plot. The need of understanding and preserving the environment, as well as respecting the culture and customs of the native people, is driven home repeatedly over the course of the film. Overall, The Way of Water is a fantastic and graphically spectacular fantasy adventure film that was mostly covered with a variety of fascinating and exciting activities.
