Avatar provided an intriguing introduction to the alien world of Pandora and its diverse population. It was also done in a visually stunning manner that still looks remarkable and immersive today, especially with the advancements in VFX since the film’s first release.
Avatar: The Way Of Water, the planned sequel, has generated a lot of interest. Fans are eager to see what new, sweeping landscapes and visuals Cameron has shot for the story’s continuation.

The aesthetics and aesthetic style Cameron has embraced for the franchise are clearly stunning audiences once again. The allusions to the specific plot have kept the visual aspect of the film front and center.
Meanwhile, a direct address to characterization and narrative themes has been somewhat downplayed. Even with little understanding of what the new locations of Avatar: The Way of Water will entail in a narrative sense, fans are undoubtedly anticipating the film’s execution merely from an aesthetic standpoint.
