A long-awaited sequel from James Cameron tops the DVD releases for the week of June 20.
"Avatar: The Way of Water": In this follow-up to 2009's "Avatar," Jake Sully and his Na'vi family seek sanctuary in the tropical island paradise of Pandora, and fight against Col. Quaritch, who has come back as an avatar seeking revenge.
"Cameron has always made movies like he’s running out of time, throwing everything he’s got at the screen, breaking ground on new technology and techniques to get it just right," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Using technology in order to encourage audiences to appreciate the healing beauty of the natural world seems a bit counterintuitive, but the earnestness with which Cameron approaches the themes of 'The Way of Water' is indeed inspiring, and the 13-year wait for the aquatic escape to Pandora is well worth it."
