Avatar: The Way of Water Movie Review
First it must be said that it looks amazing, the combination of 3D visuals with its high frame rate make almost ever frame burn into the retinas.

The rest of the actors are well cast but head bad guy Liam Neeson is given very little to do.
It’s a sign of our conservative times that ...
