Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
James Cameron returns to Pandora and reaches new heights (and depths) in a movie that once again utilizes the best in special effects technology to showcase the fantastical world he has created. In this sequel, Jake Sully and his family are forced to seek refuge with the aquatic Metkayina clan when an old threat returns to disrupt their paradise existence.
This long-awaited sequel to 2009’s Avatar was well-received upon its release, mainly because of the stunning special effects, but the story is a bit of a damp squib as it’s basically a retread of the original movie’s plotline. You may be too swept up in Cameron’s vision to care about the story’s familiarity but it’s a little disappointing the director couldn’t come up with a narrative that is as groundbreaking as the visual effects.
Saint X – Season 1
Based on the novel by Alexis Schaitkin, this psychological drama, which is told via multiple time lines and perspectives, centres on one young woman’s dangerous pursuit for the truth after her sister dies under mysterious circumstances while on a Caribbean vacation. All 8 episodes arrive at once.
