auszug aus dem empire review:
"
The Way Of Water takes its sweet time getting to the melee — at well over three hours, it should really be called ‘The Way Of Wishing You Hadn’t Drunk That Water’ — but by the time it does, it’s made sure you care about what’s going on. And the action, when it arrives, is thunderingly entertaining. On one side: the Na’vi navy, astride battle-fish, ululating and bristling with spears. On the other, Quaritch and his blued-up squad of Marines, plus a swaggering, dickish Australian seadog named Scoresby (Brendan Cowell, near-stealing the show with his salty jargon), a conflicted marine biologist (
Jemaine Clement, doing an American accent that might be the most alien thing in the film), and an armada of incredible military tech (scuttling crab-suits FTW). What ensues is a sea battle for the ages, a blisteringly exciting meld of live-action elements and visual-effects, which boggles the brain while never forgetting to focus on the heart. Where Cameron goes from here, who knows. But this is a reminder, after a long absence, that he’s still master and commander of making your jaw drop."
das ist die art von begeisterung, die ich sehen und hören will. und nicht so ne kleinliche scheisse wie "aba die story", wo sich die leute, die das sagen , schon tausendmal übleren käse reingezogen haben, ohne auch nur ein wort darüber zu verlieren, ich schwör.
aber egal, noch ca. drei stunden und es geht los, finally...
