Tonight on TV: It’s one of the biggest hits of all time and its beauty leaves you speechless every time

After thirteen years in development, the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster Avatar has finally hit theaters. On December 14, 2022, two years ago, millions of people gathered in cinemas to watch the continuation of the adventures of Jake Sully and his family.

Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place more than ten years after the events of the first film. We meet Jake (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their children facing new challenges.

Actively sought after by humans, they are forced to leave home and explore the still very mysterious regions of Pandora. To protect his people, Jake Sully will have to wage a difficult war against his external threats.

The cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Joel David Moore, as well as well-known new faces such as Kate Winslet and Cliff Curtis.

I have never seen it in the cinema

With 14 million admissions in France and 2.24 billion worldwide, Avatar 2 It successfully completed its mission: it took the third place among the most important successes in history, even surpassing the Titanic (it took the first place Avatar 1 and the other by Avengers Endgame).

In addition to exploding at the box office, Avatar, Waterway It won an Oscar as well as a BAFTA Award for Best Visual Effects. It must be said that the special effects of the film are amazing, thanks to the huge technical advances that have been made since the first film was released in 2009.

Indeed, if James Cameron waited so long to release this second installment, it’s because he absolutely wanted to wait for new software to be invented that would allow him to create the special effects he envisioned.

The director especially managed to shoot underwater scenes in the footage of the performance: “It took us a year and a half to figure out how to operate, which led us to push forward, to innovate, to use our imaginations, and ultimately to create a new technology.

And the good news is that we’re not done being surprised. Indeed, three other sequels are already in development, with a 2031 release date for Avatar 5. Photos of Pandora’s new scenery have even been revealed… and promise to amaze us for many years to come!
