Avatar: The Way of Water | 16 DEC 2022 | Don't worry guys, critics like it

[Eric S'ennui]

When I saw it a second time, my brother snuck in a THC Gummy for the two of us. It was my first ever experience being high. It wasn't anything that strong, but I think it worked. When we got to the Water Tribe, I think it was when it started to hit? Definitely remember feeling like I was in a trance through a lot of the moments where the characters were chilling underwater, but it could have just been the movie being good. I dunno.

So glad this hung on to make it into Best Picture.

 

Too bad about the Cameron miss but was inevitable at this point.

[Dragoncaine]

Best Picture

Best Production Design

Best Visual Effects

Best Sound

 

Would've loved to see a Cinematography nom, especially over mid shit like Elvis and Empire of Light in that category, but overall a decent haul for sure. Good headlines in tandem with $2b

[Jiffy]

Yeah Cinematography should have been a gimme as well since the first won it, but possible the HFR did not sit well with branch members?

True that movie was not great.

[CoolioD1]

mentioned in the Oscar thread that this is only the third franchise to get two Best Picture nominated movies after Godfather and Lord of the Rings.

[Valonqar]

Congrats Avatar on well-deserved Picture nom! Cameronw as robbed but there are 3 more movies to go may they all get nominated!

 

Is this going to extend AWOW's legs?

Very nice. Lets make it 5 times nominated.

 

DUNC will follow in 2024 hopefully it will win ROTK style.

Award used to be called art direction.

 

In theory it's got a good chance, but you never know how these oscar people vote. They're strange and sad people.

Here's two of the competition for reference.

Don't Worry Guys Critics Like It title is hilarious now that AWOW is Best Picture nominee. Don't change it!

Well almost made it to my first 4dx real 3d showing family but no good seating. I'll probably be going for my big 2nd showing this week though. 4dx theaters really look stylish this year. This regal also has that x view version of a2 as well

[IronJimbo]

The top 5 highest grossing films of all time now is majority James Cameron epics, with of course Avatar sitting and the top being the highest grossing movie of all time with over 2.9b.

[dignam]

Watched the movie for the 4th time, and i must admit that Tonowari has become one of my favorite characters. Cliff curtis did an awesome job 👍

[Sheldon Cr]

Finally Pandorians got to a showtime lol. Rea digital 3d 4dx....Let's get it Done. I think it was 4k too. So sharp!

Update

[Sheldon Cr]

Avatar 2 the Real 3d 4dx version is one of the greatest film experiences.of my life confirmed. Out freaking standing!!

Take notes Hollywood, this is how you make an epic that is so incredible folks from all ages get their butts off the couch  and have to see this film at least once or twice. Still looking to hit 2.3-2.5b ww

 

Neteryi fierceness and losing it is that more intense in the 4dx showing!!

 

 

" I Cut!!"
