Avatar: The Way of Water is finally available for viewers to watch online. The James Cameron directorial had a successful theatrical run after its release in December last year, going on to become the third-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide. It is the sequel to the 2009 epic movie Avatar which tells the story of the Na’vi people who live on the planet Pandora. However, Avatar 2 shifted its focus to the underwater life of the Metkayina clan.
It’s time to return to Pandora. Moviegoers who watched the original Avatar movie when it premiered in theaters back in 2009 can finally see the follow-up to the highest-grossing movie in history at home. James Cameron’s epic sequel, Avatar 2, or more officially called Avatar: The Way of Water, arrived in theaters on Dec. 16, and it’s the second and highly anticipated chapter in a multi-movie franchise. Now, the Oscar-nominated film has made its way to your screens at home. Fans can now buy the digital version of Avatar: The Way of Water on Prime Video and Vudu.
The action blockbuster stars Sam Worthington, who returns as
Jake Sully, and Zoe Saldaña, once again playing Na’vi Neytiri, as well as
Sigourney Weaver (Dr. Grace Augustine) and Stephen Lang (Colonel Miles
Quaritch). The Way of Water‘s cast also includes new additions, including Oscar
winner Kate Winslet.
“The Way of Water is like its predecessor: sincere to the
point of being brash, wide-armed and open-hearted toward the world it loves and
vengefully, comically violent toward the people who arrive to destroy that
world,” K. Austin Collins wrote in the Rolling Stone movie review of Cameron’s
sequel.
“It’s a better movie than the first outing because Cameron
lets things get weirder, wilder. He dwells on details that most streamlined
modern blockbusters, even some of the most bloated among them, do not dare.”
While Avatar fans can still see The Way of Water in
theaters, they might have to wait a little longer to explore the world of
Pandora on Blu-ray or DVD — no official release date for those formats has been
announced yet.
Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water premiered in theaters
nationwide Friday, Dec. 16, 2022. Moviegoers can find their local showtimes and
buy tickets online now on sites like Fandango. The epic sequel is still
currently playing in IMAX, 3D, and on standard theater screens.
If you’re trying to plan when to go get more popcorn,
Avatar: The Way of Water‘s runtime clocks in at around three hours, 10 minutes
long, and is rated PG-13.
According to the film’s official synopsis, Avatar 2 picks up
over a decade after the original, and “begins to tell the story of the Sully
family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the
lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive,
and the tragedies they endure.”
For now, the only way you can watch Avatar: The Way of Water
is to pick up a pair of 3D glasses and buy a ticket at your local theater or
purchase the movie
