Before you watch the sequel to the best-selling film, let’s take a look at a series of interesting facts about Avatar 2: The Way of Water in the following review.
Fantastic Movie Budget
The first Avatar film had a huge production budget of US$237 million. That figure is a high price for making a film that took place in 2009. However, this is nothing compared to the production value of the sequel film.
James Cameron wanted something more challenging in his follow-up film. Avatar 2 is estimated to cost around US$250-350 million or the equivalent of IDR 3.9-5.4 trillion. This makes Avatar 2 the film with the most expensive production costs throughout 2022. Even Avatar 2 sits in the 5th most expensive film of all time under the budget of Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Focus On Family Stories
If the first Avatar film focuses on a thicker energy crisis background, the second Avatar film will focus more on the story of the struggles of the main character’s family, Jake Sully and Neytiri and their children. The family is said to have traveled a long way.
In the process of the journey, they will also be involved in a problem that always follows them. However, the most important thing is to keep each other safe in the midst of the sad battles and tragedies they have experienced. All that is done to continue to live and survive.
Willing to Take a Break of 13 Years
The Avatar film, which was first released on December 17, 2009, managed to embrace great interest from fiction film lovers. With the background story of a crippled mariner who is given a special mission on the planet Pandora, it turns out that the film has succeeded in making the audience crazy with its interesting story and visualization. The film even reached a box office of up to US $ 2.922 billion.
Through an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, James Cameron promised that he would make a second Avatar sequel if the first Avatar was a success. Cameron’s promise in 2006 was answered this year. After 13 years of hiatus, the Avatar sequel is ready to hit theaters worldwide at the end of the year.
Shooting Underwater
Cameron admits the shooting process in the film Avatar 2 is quite crazy. In an interview with EW, he also mentioned that shooting underwater was one of the reasons why the Avatar sequels had such a long time lag. This is related to the time-consuming shooting process. In fact, he designed motion capture technology underwater by presenting hundreds of thousands of gallons of water in tanks for the production process.
