John Nugent Empire Magazine Nov 7
4/5
This riveting documentary shows the true Payakan-scale effort that goes into making a film as epic as Avatar. For the Na’vi Nation, it’s essential viewing. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire Nov 7
Making the Avatar Films is nothing if not a testament to the fact that the most sophisticated motion pictures ever created are indivisibly human at heart. Go to Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Mortal Cinema (Substack) Nov 8
The documentaries on the actual 4Ks are worthwhile. This is skippable for 99% of it, and I say that as a a guy who rabidly consumes everything Avatar. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jacob B @JB3.0 Jun 19 Not much to say about this one. Does a good job explaining the advancements in technology that finally encouraged James Cameron to get the sequel to Avatar off the ground, evidently not wanting to rush a second film out the door for the sake of making one whilst building up hype for the third film. And provides a small emotional tribute to the late producer Jon Landau. Some of it will probably feel redundant if you've seen some of The Way of Water's own special features but if these were meant to be Disney's attempts at getting subscribers on their streaming service to board the hype train in anticipation of Fire & Ash, I think it succeeded at what it set out to do.
