Avatar: The Way of Water finally came out to blow up the box office. It didn't make 200 Morbillion dollars like Morbius, sadly, but it did manage to pull people in. And that's quite curious since it's three hours long and not a property that people care about like with Avengers Endgame. It's secret weapon in keeping people hooked and entertained, though, is playing out like a video game. We often talk about the video game movie curse as a bad thing, but today let's see how you can mine great things from building your movie like a video game.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water launches 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. All of this against the breathtaking backdrop of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na'vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures that populate the majestic oceans. Nominated for numerous Academy Awards® including Best Picture, the James Cameron-directed film became the third highest-grossing box office film of all-time and set a new benchmark for visual effects.

I love your content and vids
Hey Filmento I got a question, are good movie elements from Puss In Boots The Last Wish used or are inside your new book? Im just wondering because the Puss In Boots video was after you made the book, can you answer pleas?
Also nice video ❤
@@marialopez-ql9ec my book has everything from 2018-2022. I'll have to make a sequel book in 2028 or so
@@Filmento Ok thanks for telling me, keep up the good work ❤

Runtimes don't bother people so long as you keep them engaged, which is why people will binge an 8 episode series in one sitting.
James Cameron can typically get away with longer runtimes because he's so good at world building. He has been since the first Terminator film and Aliens, then later the Abyss. Everything feels like it's supposed to in his movies, which helps sell the narrative.
Sure, when something interesting is being built. There's nothing interesting at all about Pandora, just a repeat of generic alien visuals I've seen a million times already. The factions are unbelievable and it's impossible to take the threat of the humans seriously with how bafflingly incompetent they are. Not one of the characters is interesting and the cgi isn't nearly as breathtaking as people were saying. This is James Cameron, we should expect more from him.
@@SuperCrow02 That's an opinion, sure. I think you'd lose most people by saying the CGI isn't impressive, especially when I've watched actual visual effects experts being blown away by Avatar's accomplishments on their own CZcams channels.
@@SuperCrow02 keep crying🤮
@@SuperCrow02 You must be a troll or totally blind!
@@SuperCrow02 See, you say that. But then we have 2 Billion dollars worth of final gross that disagrees with you.
The world of Pandora is gorgeous. It's well realized and well thought out. It follows a consistent set of rules.
And it presents a really great sense of connection with nature. It's basically the prehistoric Earth on steroids.
And the world building on Pandora also allows a look at a how well realized the human side is. Their technology looks realistic and yet futuristic. It's consistent. And it's just plain cool.
As for your claim about the visual effects. The tons and tons of visual effects awards Avatar 2 won(including a record 9 visual effects society awards) prove you demonstrably wrong.
I never thought James Cameron could make a movie even more Blue than the first, but here we are.
Why so blue?
Kinda too blue my eyes hurts, I like the cgi in the 1st one better

“The water set pieces make you wish that real life water was this realistic” bro I’m 💀
“let’s get it done” is the best line delivery in this movie, shit had me hyped and we’d been in the cinema for 3 hours by that point.
I'm sitting in the cinema thinking "ain't no way Jake is just gonna walk away... c'mon, kill the bastard! He killed your kid! Lets get it done!" and then he says "Lets get it done." and it was SO GRATIFYING.
Same here
It felt like a final boss fight from an Uncharted game 😂
Loved it
Glad I wasn't the only one. The whole lead up to that point and when Jake says the line, I got goosebumps.
2:14 "we dont care about anyone or anything, oh I didnt mean it like that, Jake" your commentary is spectacular, they put a lot of effort into this movie and I love it
Funniest thing is that ain't Jake on screen 😂
@@lawsontse1545I thought so 😂
I love how Stephen lang's character Quatrich has developed a lot more character than the first movie
He really did, but it's extra interesting because this new character isn't technically Quaritch, he's some kinda weird alien-human hybrid clone who's been brainwashed with Quaritch's old hatred and violence. I think it'll be really interesting to see how that character changes as the franchise goes on. I'm really hoping he'll drop the Quaritch-isms and become his own person.
@@peacemaster8117 Yeah, he already feels like a completely different guy. He seems a lot less stubborn than old Quaritch, especially when he's with Spider
@@peacemaster8117 Yeah, I know many disliked Spider saving him, but if he hadn’t then all of these experiences will have been lost. There’s no way he comes out of this unchanged. Surely he’ll have to recognize he’s just being used by the RDA and can never return to Earth.
@@tronam 3rd movie???????!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
THIS IS THE EXACT THING I TOLD MY FATHER AS WE WENT OUT OF THE CINEMA! The entire movie felt like a video game. I can't believe Filmento agrees with me. I am so happy hahaha
SAME SAME SAME I was just watching and felt like I was waiting for quick time events to show up
Yeah well it looks like a videogame
When I saw the first one with my mother and sister, we joked that the first is Pocahantas meets Ferngully in 3D. With Avatar 2, it's Subnautica 3D.
@@Chedbee Thanks for your reply and humor.
For me, this movie feels like a 6 hour marathon to me, because of how packed it is, but.. you're not running it. you're having a good time in the passenger seat of a support car
For how technically overwhelming this movie is it is still very simple when you take a step back and see it in totality
But the movie does it all in the BEST way possible! Love this movie so much on how incredible it all really is from an immersive experience towards the family and world building aspect!
@@Gadget-Walkmen Yeah but your not understanding something. Why live in a stupid world? You are being wowed by the fact in made you feel somewhere else, then even your own life. And that’s exciting. But you can’t just “forgive” the reality because it did that. Because the goal is to support content that has a strong sense of PRIORITY. Priority. Not just graphics and world building. Inception stands the test of time even though it has some ridiculous pot holes because it’s introducing worth through its story PLUS it’s world building being solid…but it’s because of the introduction of the new. Like Matrix 1.
@@sauce8277 LOL WTF are you even saying right now? What? You have NO idea on what you're talking about here in ANY way as you're just saying crazy nonsense here in the WORST way.
I understand EVERYTHING and I KNOEW you're not making any sense at all.
NOTHING about me is living in a "stUpID wORlD" AT ALL in this life OR in Avatar 2's immersive world, you have NO idea on what you're saying here at all.
Inception and Avatar 2 CAN'T be compared at all and Avatar 2 DOES have a strong sense of world-building and DOES have it's properties straight, you just fail to understand any of it in ANY.
The only person that's "stUpiD" here is you and you alone based on the nonsense you're saying here.
You can't even spell "plot holes" right and that highlights on how you don't know ANYTHING on what you're saying here at all. NOR does Inception have any "pLotHOlEs" at all, you're just spewing nonsense here as Inception's "world-building" is NOTHING compare to Avatar The Way of Water's PHENOMENAL world-building which you completely failed to understand here in EVERY way.
They both have a great story AND world in their OWN way.
Everything that which you're saying right now is crazy talk as Avatar 2: Way of Water IS a fantastic immersive complex movie in the BEST way possible. Seriously, stop talking and stop saying crazy nonsense.
This has been James Cameron’s style his whole career - Tell an earnest, straightforward and easy to follow story with archetypal characters he then puts through hell. He’s never been interested in complex narratives. He’d rather tell a simple story, but make it so exciting and larger than life that it feels like you’ve just survived an experience. I think he’s one of the few filmmakers who’s mostly spoiler-resistant. It doesn’t really matter that much if you know the plot ahead of time because the journey is the movie.
the editing and humour in this video is top notch. it was really fun
It's always a Gem when Filmento uploads, ngl this upload schedule actually make me appreciate the videos even more. As always, keep up the good work!
I’ve had a bad taste for action movies for a couple of years now, mostly because of marvel putting out a ton of low quality stuff. I was skeptical when I watched Avatar 2, but it was such a great movie that it returned my faith in action movies
Action movies doesn't have to be superhero movies. There's top gun, mission impossible, john wick, are you living in a cave?
The problem is its just one movie and not much happened in it.
If you refer to Phase 4 of being low quality in some parts, I do agree with you sadly.
Top Gun 2 was actually really good btw, despite me not seeing the original.
@@edba1.037 the new top gun was lackluster was good but a brain dead plot
@@elspaceshipcuh the plot is simple, not brain dead, also simple plot is literally every blockbuster movie ever
I know I am a mindless Avatar drone, but the Way of Water was unironically the best cinema experience I have ever had. The sound. The visuals. The price of the ticket was well spent!
We avatar fans might be mindless but avatar haters are heartless
@@liamhodgson PREACH, my fucking brother!
Another drone here and I agree 100%. I went 6 times ❤
@@MelanieJeanneSchons Money well spent!
Visuals were amazing! But you didn't laugh at the whale scenes? That was just too dumb
This video is incredible. I wasn’t convinced at first by this analogy, but the further you went with it the more I began to realize how valuable the concepts you’re discussing are to pacing. 10/10!
Moral of the story: do every side quest
Stranger things, bird box, and Squid game had video game like mechanics. I wonder if that's why they are so popular.
I really wish this film would've focused on the squad of Avatars hunting Jake and his family. I felt like they had a good concept of a squad vs a family and how they were similar/different, especially since all 4 kids could embody all perspectives on the conflict (youngest girl doesn't want to fight and can't, Sigourney Weaver girl doesn't want to but can, screwup kid wants to fight but can't, and oldest son wants to and can). They could've had some really great character moments within the family and also developed the squad into more than just faceless cat people who get killed almost instantly, but I guess that just was as important as W H A L E S
That will happen in the 3rd film more duhh they were just building up the characters. Also I feel like they did just that in this film, if they did what u wanted them to do it would have been more than 3 hours long lol But don’t worry they will do just that in the 3rd film. If u didn’t know there is like an 8hr runtime of the way of water just so u know so I’m sure they thought of that too.
TWOW more like the first movie introduction to all important character, the first one more like prologue to me.
Omg yes the whales were so boring and cliché. I was literally fuming in the cinema, Neytiri and Jake were almost inexistant in the movie, they should have been more developed.
Ya also have humans MORE then just Villains.
Damn, I was already Avatar's fanboy (yeah, I know this term has pejorative meaning, but I just love that world and settings so much, so what can do honestly) before and enjoyed the second movie already enough (even in 2D it was feast), but you guys have shown me another new perspective to appreciate this work of art. Thank you!
I was very skeptical going into it but walked out telling myself that was a great movie, way better than any Superhero movies recently but that isn’t much of the precedent it used to be lol
It's easily in the same category as recent superhero movies tho. Endless budget for cool looking action, minimal plot.
@@SuperCrow02 No it's not, every recently released Superhero Movie looks like dog shit in comparison to Avatar 2, even the old one looks better than what we have in most of these lifeless CGI movies without passion, James Cameron movies with his incredible world building are totally different, they are like special events, that's the reason why people going to theaters and not watching at home.
@@SuperCrow02 welp, at least this is a pure honest Disneyland ride compare to... Whatever that is today
@@SuperCrow02 The difference is that this cool looking action is, well, actually cool. And the plot that you do get is good, if simple.
@@SuperCrow02 so what? You think every movie should have a goodfather level of intricacy plot?
In video games and anime back in the 90s i always loved seeing depth charges and bullet and bomb impacts on or in water, basically anything drawn or rendered distorting water in some awesome way is what ive been wanting since then. god damn way of water delivered everything ive been craving forever in the most insane visuals and physics i could have imagined : D
It's amazing you can make this video and explain how to basically make a video game movie, yet Hollywood writers and producers can't even really make a good video game movie (Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and _maybe_ the upcoming Super Mario Bros Movie, aside.)
👍👍👍
The movie is so realistic and I love the improved CGI and VFX on this. Great storytelling also.
“Wrong!!! Mystery box! Mystery box! Mystery box!” - J.J. Abrams
The movie was amazing, It incredible how James is able to build pandora and expand on the other tribes.
The Sully family vs Quaritch showdown is what kept me in it, it was epic.
Cant wait for the third movie and interested how spider gonna explain to the family about Quaritch.
It was funny that Tuk got captured TWICE in the third act, and even she verbally complained about it 🤣
I completely agree, Filmento highlighted the narrative strong points of this great movie. The only thing that bothered me is the transition from level 3 to level 4. I mean, it works perfectly on an emotional level (with Jakes son’s death), but I think we need the director’s cut to get to know what happens to the rest of the village, which just DISAPPEARS.
They shot it, but ended up cutting it for pacing reasons. It was a creative decision, wanting to stay focused on the Sully family. James Cameron talked about it pretty frankly in a Q&A, discussing how difficult the editing process can be in the final hours of production.
God, your sponsor transitions keep getting more entertaining.
You were already the only youtuber that made sponsorships actually interesting in video, but they just keep getting better!
utterly smooth transition, truly embedded. I hope they are pleased and he is paid well.
Chekhov's gun at its best. I was really into this movie in IMAX alone at the theater and felt like just an hour had passed.
3 words describe the franchise:
This is beautiful
Beautiful visuals, mediocre story and characters
"This is BLUE" is better
style over substance
@@chasehedges6775 lmao not you again. stop being so obsessed to the point it seems unhealthy.
@@Merryianna he claims he hates the movie yet cant help watch every avatar contents on youtube lmao
The movie encapsulated me, enthralled me, made me fall in love with their kids just as much as I loved Jake and Neytiri which I didn't think possible. I was moved and taken aback by how consistent and incredible the storytelling was. The subtleness of the body language of Miles Quiritch and how it gave away his thoughts and feelings.
It's incredible, 10/10 a MASTERPIECE. Pure, unadulterated, art.
It's funny because when I was watching the movie I couldn't help but think how fitting this world would be in a Video Game setting

@@PositiviteaTheFirst I've heard about it, but I'm hesitant because it's being made by Ubisoft...
They did make videogames of the first movie, right?
@@Ramsey276one Yup
Im impressed how the sponsorships are getting smoother and smoother connected to the actual video. literally one of the few channels where i actually watch sponsorships, because i only notice the sponsorship when its already halfway over. Great writing and editing!
I'm actually now looking forward to that Avatar game by Ubisoft seeing as The Way Of Water feels like an adaptation of a game that doesn't exist yet
ubisoft wil definitely take hippos sised shiit on the game and cripple it in some way its the ubisoft way now
Thank God there's someone who isn't just following the main stream criticizm. Avatar isn't bad, it isn't good either. But ever since CD made his videos people see it as the rock bottom of cinema. It's good people at least see the good sides of the movie. It's decent on its own, and the visuals are pure art.
I miss the time where CD is more objective in criticize something, nowadays he often have right wing political bias which is as bad as being woke and PC
@@edba1.037 honestly I feel like he’s just playing a role there because hating on things is just more popular on CZcams

its not great but i think its pretty good
Sorry, but who is CD?
@@donaragorn Critical Drinker, I think.
2:17 Aw come on man ! Not caring about Sully ? He’s just the coolest, most badass/heartfelt hero… alien/human ever ! Even got some action figures of him ! 🙂
The editing of these videos, man... The memes, the sounds design, video games references, the puffer fish Babel lesson, I can't get enough of this. Such a good job.
Love the subtle Seth Everman reference at 2:52
18:08 best line
Let the visuals not fool you about the fact that the plot is about a human betraying his own kin to clap some alien cheeks
The humans are cartoonish villains tho and just over the top generic villains
First of all, that's the first movie. In this movie Jake isn't betraying anyone and has been clapping the cheeks for well over a decade so the betrayal isn't even needed for that purpose.
Second of all, you say that as if "betraying your kin" was somehow wrong by default. The humans in these movies aren't exactly people you want to look up to, they already destroyed one planet and are doing it all over again. With the amount of blatant villainy they're indulging in I'm actually somewhat surprised there aren't even more mutineers.
Don't blame Jake tbh💀
Those cheeks are worth it
@@houndofculann1793he's a paraplegic. He gets a pass.
Seeing avatar 2 in the Imax theater was the most immersed I’ve ever felt in a movie. Visuals so good that the Na’vi felt real
And I really liked Kiri. I related to her feeling different from everyone else. Sigourney Weaver absolutely nailed it!
Honestly, the more I think about this movie, the more I appreciate it.
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: Dark Fate"
He was the director, not the writer
Killing that one character was James Cameron's idea
Miller deserves another chance because he still got a lot to offer
He not only gave us DEADPOOL, but also SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, directed by his friend, Jeff Fowler
Also, have anyone seen LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS?
Yeah, but Tim Miller also tried playing the woke BS of "only closet misogynists will hate this movie starring this androgynous wanna-be bad-ass who vaguely looks female and replace-John-Connor-with-Latina-John-Connor" bullcrap. So Tim Miller pulling the "all the fans of Terminator are sexists" crap IS his fault and he SHOULD be blamed for, same as Elizabeth Banks for doing to same thing with Charlie's Angels.
@@MarvinPowell1 there is nothing wrong with woke as long as you can deliver. People are so attached to attacking things woke that they don't realize that a lot of movies and shows were heavily censored because "Christian moms" control the media before.
The problem with the perception of woke is it's just had become so fake that it's just another checkbox on the diversity criteria and wouldn't do anything special about it. It's not woke culture's fault, but it's the attempt of hollywood trying to commercialize woke
Dude I love Tim's work but Imma be honest he's just as much to blame for alienating most of the audience he's supposed to be catering to, unless of course his goal was to fail and not make money.
If the movie was good, we'd be praising him... so when the movie is bad, it's valid to criticise him. The director takes both ultimate credit and ultimate responsibility. *edit* he was also an executive producer on Dark Fate, so there's really no way to excuse him for how it turned out.
I watched it in the biggest 3d Imax screen I could find, the experience was incredible, but overall the 1st movie is still better.
One of the main things that made “section 2” work, was not the side quests but the environment and scenery that really defines the movie. There are definitely parts that serve to the plot, but the main focus of that section was to develop the movies and the setting.
This is kind of the genius of James Cameron: He's *so* good at these paradigm-shifting movies that they're stealthy. It was the least-controversial big-budget blockbuster ever. Even skimming the comments here, "predictable" is a common thread. Again, I think this is Cameron's genius - it's good, but it follows the ethos, pathos and logos so tightly that it doesn't ruffle any feathers - There's no discussion or debate taking place because there's nothing to debate, it's all there on the screen.
I think Avatar 2 had the same trick as The Batman (2022) even tho these are 3 hours long, they still manage to keep you entertained with new and new things that all fit in the final plot at the end, leaving the viewer truly satisfied
I don't know if The Batman is a good example because I've come across a lot of people who have found it tedious and have had a hard time seeing it in its entirety, and those complaints are more numerous than I've seen with similar movies.
@@Ratchet2431 That might just be due to lack of attention span which is a huge problem nowadays
@@monsterxzero Maybe, but like I said, the complaints I've seen are more numerous than I've witnessed from even longer movies like The Lord of the Rings or The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (I can't believe there's people who find them boring, but anyway...).
Superb editing Filmento. I have enjoyed every single added sound. Your best edited video so far
Watched The Way of Water last Saturday. It was a very good. I don't get people shitting on it. And I'm not even a fan of the first movie.
I laughed out loud sometimes. Specially with the romance between those two kids I don't remember the name. But not laughing at the movie, but with it. Cameron played the corny romance and made the trope funny at times. The movie knows when to not get itself seriously. And knows when to do.
I liked mini Sigourney Weaver. I thought the kids each were distinct, which is ironic their names are forgettable. But I also don't remember anyone's name anyway...
I watched it a few days ago as well. And while I enjoyed it, I totally get why people shit on it. There's _a lot_ that sucks once you look past the spectacle and the absolutely stunning visuals.
They went 110% on visuals and like 30% on the story and plot. It was boring af imo
@@xfatoushe-6908 I completely disagree. The story was simple, but the movie wasn't boring at any point.
Just like Top Gun, the most basic story... but also not a boring movie.
Trying to say the movie was boring is just absurd and a bad take. Just as bad as people who say comic book movies aren't cinema. It's trying to be elitist.
@@MateusAntonioBittencourt How do you know they're being elitist? Can they not just genuinely find the movie boring? You may find it as good, but that doesn't mean others have to, and to assume those that do are simply being an elitist comes off as disingenuous on your part.
Me personally, I find Lord of the Rings boring, I've tried to watch it three times but it just can't get my attention, and that's okay, just like it's okay for other to see Avatar as boring. You could've at least asked why they thought it was boring and come to a conclusion based on their response.
@@kenslycarpel3140 The issue is that with Avatar, those people who find it boring (valid), try to seek out intellectual reasons when they don't have any. I'm bored with Lord Of The Rings too, but I don't go out my way to judge its writing when I actually don't know enough about it. I can see that Harry Potter movies are decent, but I find it boring to watch it multiple times after a while. People need to get off their high horses and then Avatar wouldn't have this insane meme-fied 'criticism' of 'haha just visuals and no story'.It also makes chronically online people think Avatar has no fans and bought the box office, lmao.
Your videos have been exceptionally good this year. Amazing stuff. I'm always surprised at the versatility in your uploads. Most film critics I feel just bash on the same points over and over. You always seem to find a much more interesting angle.
Personally I thought the simple story made it easy to understand which allowed for me to get behind the characters more because I understood them and their goals
The fish suddenly jumping into the picture to eat the smaller fish that was about to eat the blue guy instantly reminded me of that same Star Wars scene where they said "there always is a bigger fish".
The puffer fish meme was killing me!!! You're too funny!!
I remember there wasn't really a lot of hype with this movie when it came out. None of my friends talked about it nor was it that trending on social media. Then I was utterly shocked when I realized it grossed 2 billion.
This video actually helped me to understand why most movies don’t manage to catch my attention for long, especially Marvel these days. I’ve been playing video games for well over 20 years and prefer them over a movie, because it’s not a passive experience. TLoU was a perfect example, even though I really enjoyed watching the series.
The Crash Bandicoot music is a perfect fit 😊
TLOU??
Congrats for providing subtitles!
14:47 The music sting was magical
It still felt long, because having a villain that can be cloned upon defeat (which already happened once) took away all stakes imo
Yeah but this time he’s blue which is cool I think
I adore this movie. I love the first movie, but not for the characters, but for the setting. Pandora is just a beautiful world with a creative religious and spiritual connection between all biological lifeforms. It just adds so much more to the world itself. The second movie finally made me care about characters, but not for the returning characters, but for new characters. I love the character of Lo'ak. He feels the burden of living up to his father's impossible expectations of him. And with his older brother Neteyam basking in his father's praises, he feels like he can't compare. That is such an interesting family dynamic that creates a lot of tension and well-deserved character growth. At the end, after Neteyam's death, Jake is rescued by Lo'ak and he mistakes his youngest son for Neteyam, having not fully grasped that his oldest son is dead, and having expected that the son who would rescue him was Neteyam. Lo'ak corrected his father, saying "it's me". He proceeded to help his father learn how to control his breathing and heart rate in order to stay underwater for a long period of time so they can escape the sunken ship, and after finally getting out, Jake says the single most important thing for Lo'ak. _He says "I see you"._ In the first movie, "I see you" is a phrase said by the Na'vi that means that you see and understand someone at the deepest level. For Jake to say that to his own son meant that he finally saw that his son was, in fact, worthy and capable. He finally saw his son's potential and purpose, which actually says a lot about Jake as well as Lo'ak. You do have flawed heroes in Marvel movies, but the nuances of the dynamics at play, not just with Jake and Lo'ak, but with Neytiri as well (there is more to unpack regarding her tense relationship with Spider), makes this film infinitely better than most films that are made for an easy cash grab (cough Disney cough). I saw this movie 3 times and I am excited to see how the story progresses!
That little CSI Miami (the who) intro second you did cuz of the guy wearing shades made me laugh so hard xD xD
Oh jeez the dead morbius mem-

Its hard not to love the giant piranha shark. It makes Jaws look like a goldfish for real
The moment i heard SethEverman's videogame music: 😮
Even without that, excellent video as always
Great analysis! Chapeaux!
That movie was the best 3h and 12min of my life!!! I would pay $2000 dollars right now to watch it again... If you enjoy ancient culture and history, deep fantasy, nature and animals. The Avatar movies are the way to escape this world
Go see The Lord of the Rings for the best 9 hours and 18 minutes of your life (or 11 hours and 26 minutes if you watch the extended edition).
@@Ratchet2431 Couldn't agree more
I’m loving the way the marine is sitting on his mount in the background
I cracked up when Morpheus started speaking whalish… nice setup there, Filmento. ;)
Honestly, it's interesting to hear the "your attention is recovered" after the movie was somewhere on the level of white noise for me.
Helps to remember that not everyone is as emotionally dead inside as me. I lost all interest once I realized that jake sulli could literally do no wrong in a fight with how much plot armour is piled atop of him.
Cameron gets all the accolades for VFX, cinematic innovations and incredible action set pieces and he gets criticized for simplistic derivative storytelling. I would argue he is as good a storyteller as any other director working today. There is something visceral and universal that he taps into with every movie he makes and he's gotten it down to a fine art. And it is fine art. It's incredibly difficult in today's movie marketplace to make something that is so accessible on a global scale. I cannot wait for the next Avatar movies. In 5yrs time I am confident that more than half of the Top 10 all-time highest grossing movies of all time will be James Cameron movies.
There are definitely better storytellers than him in my opinion, but I don't think having somewhat simplistic storytelling is that bad either. The worldbuilding and cinematography in Avatar are great and the story is good enough to be enjoyable even if it might benefit from a few touches here and there.
Can't believe it's been five years since the last Transformers movie. Can't wait for Rise of the Beasts.
Another great video from Filmento!
The Way of Water has opened up a redemption arc for Na'vi Quaritch throughout the future sequels, similar to another character from a similarly named franchise.
This movie was far from perfection...it was just mid, only good visuals overall! Now talk about the failure of Quantumania (a bad sign for phase 5 of MCU) and Shazam 2
also John Wick 4 being film perfection🍷🗿
About John Wick 4, i was at the theaters and people were already complaing that he wouldn't just die when he fell down the stairs on a massive height. It was not fun to watch considering the runtime at that point, plus, it was no longer making any sense he's still able to move and it felt it took more than 3 mins.
@@triadwarfare That's what bothered them? The stairs? Not how he walked away after falling on a truck from the third floor of a building?
But also, who cares? It's John Wick! A man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will!

I want to watch this film so badly like seriously
1:27 _"Make you wish that real life water was this realistic"_ HAHA xD
Excellent video!
Really liked this analysis.When I watched the movie, I had come for the visuals but then I left satisfied, they were amazing but also, the story was good, easy to follow and appreciate, and now I know why ! Directors always try to make great movies but often forget to make good movies imo, if it's good, it'll be great because their individuality will shine through without whatever useless fluff they think will make their movie great
Was cus they use CG similar to game, since they're literally in mocaps with blend of real world environment which makes it genuine.
16:05 lol Sonic-chan
Exactly how I felt watching this. It felt less like watching a 3 hour movie and more like bingeing a 4 episode miniseries, which I don't think is a bad thing.
The visuals and details were amazing but it was so predictable and there were times I just wanted it to end.
Avatar 2 is a 10/10 movie ❤❤❤
Absolutely 💯 %
I thought of Avatar 2 the same thing I had thought about 1: it works, but that's it.
The ad integration in this video is pure art
*JEYK SOOLI*
I wish I could've seen the movie through your eyes, cause I definitely felt the runtime.
Brilliant analysis.
He always does
This is basically the Cybertron games but the creators took away the transformers and premise, but still kept everything that made those games good in the movies
Well, I can't wait to see the 4-Hour Extended Cut of this movie. And it's because of James Cameron's great skill with 3D cinematography that we grow to care about these characters the more we see these movies. Look how well aliens and Terminator 2 of aged. The more people see those movies the more they fall in love with those movies and the characters
Where on earth do you come up with this titles for your videos it’s great what’s next how to build a movie like a building I don’t know lol
The pixelated Themes at the beginning had me Dying 😂
Loving your book
i definitely need to watch this movie a second time. when i walked out of the theaters i didn't really know how to feel, it was obviously gorgeous and had a lot of time spent into it, but some things felt so unnecessary, like the whale "potion" that gave you immortality or whatever, but mainly that the things that they needed to make important for the ending, like the whale, personally, I think that we did not need a whole backstory about the loner whale who was abandoned from the others, i would've been fine with learning about the whales and their importance to the sea folk. i will definitely watch it again sometime tho, i'm sure I'll enjoy it more.
I was expecting that loner whale get a redemption in the third act, like maybe the whole pack gonna join the battle, or at least, the sea tribe swimmers gonna do some manuever with him. Because, why bother to tell visually his backstory if there is no payoff for that.
Actually, there are many things off in my mind while watching this movie. So many assumptions, new stuffs introduced, but never fully utilize to its maximum potential for storytelling.
Filmento portraying this movie right, like playing video game Skyrim. The story is a bit off, but we keep playing anyway because there are many cool stuff to explore.
@@muh.andianto same
This movie was incredible
mandalorian is pretty much like a game, with a lot of fanservice
I appreciate you using the "Trouble in Town" theme from Assassin's Creed 3. Best chase theme in the franchise.
i loved this film. and i didnt like the first one especially. this had a better story, i think. a story doesnt need to be complex, as long as it has emotions. and when jakes son got killed and neytiri went crazy i was more invested in the action than i`ve been for a long time seeing something
For some reason a fraction of movie buffs seem to believe that complexity equals quality which cannot be further from the truth. A simple story is all that it takes as long as one cares about the characters, their actions make sense and/or the plot progresses in a logical manner. Case in point: Raiders of the Lost Ark does not have a complex plot but it is a great movie. Same goes for Top Gun Maverick which even copied that third act of the original Star Wars.
