We can notice that the humans are back on Pandora. As in the first part, after the climactic fight humans colonisers are sent back, but only few of them are chosen to stay there. However from the teaser trailer it shows us that the resources development administration hasn’t given up. Shots of the industrial and military area suggest that the RDA is still mining of unobtainium.

We also see two navi among them one of them might be Stephen lang’s character colonel miles korich who is returning despite having died in the previous movie. We see him again in the navi body later sporting the same arm tattoo that he did as a human. Sigourney Weaver will be back too but as a new character.

We can see the new environment in this part. The teaser opens up with the similar setting of Hallelujah Mountains floating on magnetic currents. However the focus soon switches to coastal and underwater locations. Because director James Cameron is very passionate about the deep sea experience. He was the first person to descend solo to the bottom of the Mariana trench.

The avatar movie is delayed because Cameron wanted to perfect motion capture technology underwater. The new environments shown off in this trailer are stunning. Promising a deeper dive into Pandora’s ocean locales.

In this we are gonna see Marine life. The alien flora and fauna were highlights of the Original film. From the trailer the sequel’s environments are just as rich and wondrous as Pandora’s jungle. We see Jake and other navi riding banshees over a reef reef. Under the water’s surface strange fish swim through the coral and navy riders what looks like an ilu. A plesiosaur-like creature that debuted in the 3rd flying simulator flight of passage at Disney’s animal kingdom we are also treated to the site of the majestic whale like animals as well as a mount looks kind of like an ichthyosaur crossed with a flying fish it looks like the way of water will explorer not only coastal areas but also the deep sea.

Now let’s look at the metkayina also introduced in the flight of passage was a new navi tribe the met kiana living along Pandora’s reefs they make their homes in the mangrove like. As we see in the trailer glimpse they traverse the ocean on eluz much as other navi use dire horses. Free driving is a part of their culture. Many of the cast members have to learn freediving for the film. In fact kate winslet was able to hold her breath of more than 7 mins presumably they will have a key role in the sea battle shown in the trailer.

Now let’s look at the family of the avatar. As James Cameron said that Avatar 4 sequels will focus on Jake and Nate’s family. The way of water finds them raising three navi children which are 2 sons and a daughter. They have also adopted a human son Javier Socorro nicknamed spider who was also born on Pandora in the RDA facility hell’s gate.

In an interview producers have said that Spider is gonna struggle with the war and wasn’t able to give his. This makes the family to be regrouped to gather and build in for their strength.

This film is chattering around all over social media. It might break all the collection records in the entire world. It might collect larger collections or not but it was the largest motion capture film. And the visuals are very rich and look very natural and realistic. 

I hope this will be the biggest visual treat of the entire film world. This will be a very exciting film to watch in IMAX with Dolby. 3D will be a good option. This is the world’s largest motion capture film ever. We cannot wait to see them in action in cinemas on December 16th 2022. I hope you guys will enjoy the film in cinemas.
