The long awaited sequel Avatar 2, The Way of the Water is a 3 hour monolith by the director and part time environmentalist James Cameron. With the film costing about the same as a premier league football club, there was some serious pressure on box office returns. However, it did mean that Cameron had all the fancy toys that money could by in order to make it look good. And it did. Unfortunately money can't always buy a good story and this story was average at best, being very similar to the first film. I can aslo safely say that I haven't seen parenting that bad in a film since Kevin McCallister was left behind by his mum and dad in home alone. Furthermore, within the three hours we are treated to a twenty minute fishing sequence, which transported me back to late 2000s British televison programme Robson Green's extreme fishing. A welcome callback for me as it gave me a little break from the boredom that I was suffering. Although the film may recover its hefty budget, it is unlikely to linger long in the memory of world cinema. For me it was mostly just colours and noise washing over like the waves... And that is just the way of the water sometimes. 4/10.
