9/10
An incredible sequel to a groundbreaking original..
17 October 2023
Let's talk about the original Avatar. It came out like 37 years ago - and James Cameron disappeared - presumably working on the sequel and ignoring the 4k releases of his significant blockbusters' 4k releases.... True Lies, The Abyss, Titanic, etc...

Frankly, I was disillusioned - and pissed off How could he ignore some of the greatest films ever released - leaving their fates to 480i resolution... And I've been on a warpath for quite some time...

The world deserved hi-def releases of True Lies, The Abyss & Titanic.

Well apparently they're coming in the coming months...

But let's look at Avatar 2.. in 4k. I've been a 4k enthusiast since the format arrived... I've raved about the quality of Nolan's 'Tenet' - the special effects of Berg's 'Battleship' - the color quality of 'Braveheart' or the incredible video brilliance of the Star Wars sequels...

Cameron's Avatar 2 is a benchmark for the future - stellar visuals...I mean, c'mon... he invented technology to make these movies...

The colors and textures are beyond incredible.... It's the finest 4k disc I own... Nothing short of perfection...

Storywise, it's the same as before - a native population fights for survival against an invader - the parallels drawn to the Native American race are there in spades..

Anyone giving this film less than an 8 have something else going on in their lives - the film delivers on every level...

It brings back Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and CCH Pounder.. It brings back visuals you have *never* seen - and it brings back what's been missing in cinema for a long, long time... something surprising - your love the characters...
