Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, learn 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 alive, and the tragedies they endure.
James Cameron's return to Pandora pivots the saga to the ocean and the Metkayina reef people, with Sigourney Weaver back in a striking new role. The water-capture cinematography (Russell Carpenter, ASC) is the technical achievement that justified the runtime; the family-as-battleground arc is the emotional one. PG-13 at 192 minutes; works for ages 11+ if a long sit is fine.
