Avatar: The Way of Water is a visual masterpiece that brings a spectacular cinematic experience back to life

It’s been almost a week since the cinematic extravaganza Avatar: The Way of Water was released globally, creating a wave across the box office worldwide. The film has not only proven to be a visual treat but has shattered all norms to create a never-before-seen cinematic experience for all cine-goers. The magnificent film consisted of scenes in and around water, which, as we all know is the most difficult in terms of graphics to shoot. Almost all of the scenes were shot digitally with performance capture that enabled the shots to look as close to reality as possible.

Here are some incredible visuals from James Cameron’s directorial that gave us the big-screen awe!

The sea creatures

What made The Way of Water an even more intriguing watch was its new aquatic animals that the audiences got to watch come to life. Once Jake Sully along with his family reaches the shore of Metkayina’s reef people, we as audiences are immersed into an enticing world unlike ever seen. One look at the Tulkun and that enormous creature named Payakan is all it'll take to see your jaw drop to the floor. 

Beautiful reflections

While water in itself is the most difficult to shoot with, it was James Cameron’s genius and master cinematographer Russel Carpenter that envisioned what makes the water look all the more beautiful and realistic with reflections. If there’s one way to make it a masterpiece, it is through elegant illumination, that makes us want to be one with the Na’vi

Aerial and oceanic symmetry  

As Lo’ak, Tuk, Neteyam and Kiri take the audiences through an underwater adventure, the main protagonist Jake Sully, for the warrior that he is, takes on a tougher challenge. After riding the mighty Toruk in the first installment, he uses his flying skills with the water Skimwing animal known as the Tsurak, giving us the perfect balance of aerial and oceanic sequences  

Flaring through the way of water 

Devised ingeniously, not only are the water scenes gorgeous, the film impressively immerses us in a stunning immersion of light and flare. It creates a new milestone in the evolution of visual effects technology, giving us a beautiful cinematic experience that just cannot be missed.
