It won’t be until this Friday, December 16, that “Avatar 2” will hit theaters. One of the most anticipated sequels in film history following the monumental success of Avatar in 2009, the highest-grossing film ever with nearly $2.9 billion in revenue.
The end of the year is the time to publish “Best of 2022” lists, no matter the field. Regarding cinema, the AFI (American Film Institute) has already revealed its pick for the 10 best films of the year about to end. Among them stands out “Avatar: The Way of Water,” James Cameron’s great masterpiece that has yet to be released. It will premiere this Friday, December 16!
This first sequel takes place in the ocean, hence its name, and is set in the events occurring in the first film, but a decade later. It takes us back into the lives of the main characters, the Sully family made up of Jake, Neytiri, and their children, who live in a world at war.
Cameron states that it is a technical achievement, even surpassing the works of Marvel, of which several details have already been revealed. The most notable is the film’s length, which exceeds 3 hours. Several trailers and some stills are also already known.
