Although the character ofNeytiriplayed by Zoe Saldana was sidelined in the first two acts by diminishing her character to the backdoors, hence giving time to the new characters consisting ofKiri, Neteyam, Lo’ak, Tuk,andSpyder to flesh out, consequently giving them depth. Nonetheless, during the third act, Saldana takes the stage as you feel Neytiri’s emotional scar of losing a child and the motherly emotion and fierceness through her portrayal, as an upshot thoroughly owning the whole third act by her acting range.
Even though the movie slows down amidst the story to build its world which can be verbally elongated but visually hooks you throughout the whole runtime, accordingly making it one of the most visually appealing movies of the year. Besides, the simple plot compliments the unstained world-building, giving a great cinema experience.
WithAvatar: The Way of Wateron its way to a billion with $958 Million within its 12th day, seems to garnish critical fame and box-office success. It’d be engrossing to watch where James Cameron takesAvatarand the character of Neytiri in the upcoming sequels.
Avatar 3will hit theatres on 12 August 2025.
