This sequel shows the results of 13 years of technical research by the Cameron team: Cameron uses a more realistic and clearer film language to take the audience to dive into the seabed, dance with various magical marine creatures, and live, work and fight in the water with the Na'vi people.
Cameron's visual magic can convince everyone that the underwater world in front of them is real. He turned the big screen into a clear, translucent and gentle fantasy aquarium. Such a picture would be a waste if not appreciated on the big screen!

According to media predictions, today (Christmas Eve), the single-day box office of "Avatar: Water Path" will exceed 100 million. Judging from the current box office trends, it is almost a foregone conclusion that it will win this year’s Lunar New Year box office championship.
It seems that after a long period of suffering from the epidemic, the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is gradually being released, driven by "Avatar: Water Path". As the number of "Yangkang" crowds increases, cinemas should continue to be lively for a while.

Nowadays, most of the people who go out of their homes and appear in public places are "yangkang" people who have been infected. They also wear masks throughout the movie viewing process. In addition, movie theaters have daily disinfection, so the safety of movie viewing is still guaranteed.
