Drew Taylor of The Wrap stated, “Have now seen #Avatar twice and am overwhelmed by both its technical mastery and unexpectedly intimate emotional scope. Yes the world is expanded and sequels teased but the characters are most important. Cameron is in top form, especially in final act. Good to have him back.”

CRITICS HAIL JAMES CAMERON

Critics have also pointed out how brilliant and visually breathtaking every frame of the film was. Mike Ryan of Uproxx tweeted, “Yeah never bet against James Cameron. Trying to spare hyperbole, but I’ve never seen anything like this from a technical, visual standpoint. It’s overwhelming. Maybe too overwhelming. Sometimes I’d miss plot points because I’m staring at a Pandora fish. Also, I rewatched the first AVATAR over the weekend and basically settled on ‘that was fine.’ The sequel has much better and deeper character development.”

Someone texted me, “what’s the most visually impressive part of the movie?” And I responded, “The whole thing honestly.”
