Avatar: Fire and Ash

Doesn’t reach the heights of Way of Water and it’s beautiful Malick esque purity where Cameron had finally become one with technology to create a new way of looking at cinema. But it’s still interesting in parts. It does fully exist past computer image or “looking like a video game” where there’s a constant battle between pop spectacle of the extreme form and a long history of the cinematic form. T2 moving in tandem with Lean and DeMille I just wish I could feel any sense of humanity here. There’s a human sense of morality and pain but nothing about the movie feels human is that something I’ll be constantly thinking about as we enter a new age of cinema? Probably but I’m also not one that’s wowed that much with a sort of saccharine spectacle found here. Love that Cameron followed in the footsteps of every old director and his horny peers (Spielberg/Eastwood etc) and made this thing oddly perverted. Like all Avatar movies it’s not not racist but you’re called a scold these days if you say that about Big Jim
