Avatar (2009)
I just rewatched both Avatar, and Avatar - The Way of Water, so I felt I would include both to this review. Both staring Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña. Directed by James Cameron.
My opinion is, you've seen this story a hundred times, but never like this. The effects are nothing short of breathtaking. You'll absolutely enjoy the visual experience.
As for the story, some of the "inspirations" are so huge and so obvious that mentioning two or three of them would REALLY ruin the movie for you, and I'm not willing to do that. Lots of mysticism and ecology, if you like that stuff. If you're an experienced movie watcher, better leave your skepticism at the door, bring lots of popcorn and enjoy the incredible special effects.
Avatar - The Way of Water
The sequel takes place some years after the original story in Pandora, the Na’vi, led by Jake Sully (Sam Worthington, the returning marine-avatar hero) and living a happy existence with his warrior wife (Zoe Saldaña) and his several children.
Their idyll is threatened when an old foe returns, and Sully and his family must escape to a neighboring kingdom: a partly underwater world, where they must learn to adapt to a totally different lifestyle from their forest environment.
They do so with the help of a school of whale-like alien creatures, highly intelligent and hunted by humans for their valuable resources.
I loved both movies, from start to end. Defiantly a Skydancer thumbs up...
