At The Theater

Avatar: The Way of Water, is set more than a decade after the events of the first film. This latest movie begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay and the tragedies they endure.

Rotten Tomatoes critics have given this movie a 77% fresh/favorable, and the audience has it at 92% favorable. That website's audience summary is that "Avatar: The Way of Water is predictable, but the visual effects are so spectacular that it hardly matters." Many other critics also tout this movie's visual effects, but they note that the plot is "thin".

The movie has a long runtime of 3 hours and 12 minutes. It is rated PG-13 (for sequences of strong violence and intense action, partial nudity and some strong language). Commonsense media rates this movie 3 out of 5 for violence and language (with 5 being the worst), and agrees that it is suitable for ages over 13.
