When Avatar was released more than a decade ago, it became the highest grossing film ever made and the first to gross more than $2bn. The science-fiction masterpiece broke new ground in terms of what could be done on screen.
Following its immense success, a sequel was announced in 2010, but writer-director James Cameron was inclined to await advancements in filmmaking technology to truly bring his vision to life. Now, 13 years later, Avatar: The Way of Water is just days away from release.
The legendary Hollywood filmmaker – whose impressive CV boasts Titanic, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Aliens – transports viewers back to Pandora for the second installment of his groundbreaking franchise. The film has run-time of three hours and 12 minutes, 30 minutes longer than its lengthy predecessor.
