Avatar: The Way of Water had its first screening for critics, while fans will have to wait a bit longer. The sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 film recently received its first reviews.

Cameron’s long-awaited project was worth the wait, as Avatar: The Way of Water received rave reviews.

Reception

The rave reviews will indeed have fans counting down the days until Avatar: The Way of Water is released later this month. Brandon Davis of Comicbook praised the film, calling it a “visual feast.”

“Avatar: The Way of Water, being more than 3 hours long, is both fulfilling and indulgent,” wrote Davis.

“It still ends wanting you to know a third is coming.”

“Constantly a visual feast, creative plays with frame rate, and never boring despite. Overall, I liked it.”

Meanwhile, CNN’s Tom Page said the film did an incredible job of being better than the original. “#AvatarTheWayOfWater is “more is more” writ large,” Page tweeted. “It’s more beautiful, more in awe of Pandora; more vocal in its environmentalism, more damning of humans.”

“It’s an adrenaline shot to 3D filmmaking and an uncompromising doubling down,” he continued. “You’d expect nothing less from Cameron.” Perri Nemiroff of Collider praised the film, saying it was “mind-blowing.”

She also noted that Avatar: The Way of Water constantly feels “in service to the character and the building.”
