REVIEW
'Water has no beginning or End...’ Is the phrase spouted , by many characters in James Cameron’s high budget sequel, and when at over 3hrs .It certainly feels that way to the audience. So as we return to Pandora the alien World ex-human Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) adopted as well as the Na’vi body he assumed and a family, gone native and now with wife and kids in toe ,a full inhabitant to his tribal new home and planet.However, his idyllic exsitence soon comes to an end as his old paymasters from Earth return once again to strip and this time fully colonise Pandora.
The plot which becomes somewhat of a retread to the first installment , with even old villains like the memorable gung-ho marine colonel Miles Quaritch, (Stephen Lang) in new form and returning as Jake’s nemesis looking for payback.It becomes necessary for Sully’s family have to leave their rainforest habitat and hide away among the far-off Metkayina, an amphibious reef people led by Ronal (Kate Winslet) and Tonowari (Cliff Curtis), which serves as the perfect excuse to show us more vistas.
So what makes this film worth a cinema visit?Well it looks visually stunning, and the 3D is put to emersive use.But it does start to feel more like an over expensive screen saver, as we languish on shot after shot of underwater vistas.The plot is not really anything more than the premise , aready described. What it does feel like is an exercise in spectacle. James Cameron is more a modern day P.T Barnum conjuring bigger Circus style events ,rather than the tight director and story teller from his earlier work.
