Noah Berlatsky: There are more characters, more explosions and more dangers. But James Cameron's attempts to address the first film’s worst failing don't entirely succeed. - NBCNewsTHINK
you’ll probably love the sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water.” But if you were skeptical of the original, the sequel isn’t going to convince you. The new film has reproduced the original’s strengths and faults faithfully, providing stunning spectacle, environmental themes — and hoary colonial narratives.
In the first “Avatar,” Earth is a depleted environmental wreck, and humans have become space colonizers in response. Jake Sully is a former Marine who goes to the planet Pandora to help infiltrate and pacify the indigenous population, the Na’vi. Under the command of hard-bitten Colonel Quaritch , Jake’s consciousness is placed in a hybrid human/Na’vi “avatar” — a giant, blue, super-strong and super-tough body grown as a vessel for humans to pilot.
“The Way of Water,” like its predecessor, is about outsiders being led through a digital wonderland. In this case, though, the people learning new ways aren’t colonizers but neighbors. Rather than invaders exploring the land they’ve invaded, the second “Avatar” film is about the encounter of two different indigenous societies.
