This is a new meeting with the hero of the franchise, one of the best aviators of the US Navy, Pete Mitchell, who, even after thirty years of impeccable service, has not lost his fighting qualities. Although the franchise itself, in my opinion, having taken off back in 1986, over time, before our eyes, loses the freshness of imagination and former energy.

December 16, 2022, the day that the cinemans have been craving for a dozen years will come - Avatar-2 by James Cameron is to be released. We will return to Pandora for a journey like no other in cinema. Cameron has always been a perfectionist and has patiently waited for technology, developing, to reach a level that allows him to realize his fantasies. In 2009, Avatar demonstrated the innovative qualities of special effects, images and sound, today these qualities are available to any blockbuster. Therefore, Cameron came up with something that does not exist today. A significant part of Avatar-2's footage takes place under water: the main habitat of the heroes is the ocean. For this, new systems of underwater surveys have been developed. Actors must learn to stay underwater without leaving air bubbles. Sigourney Weaver was able to stay underwater, holding her breath for more than six minutes and brilliantly fulfilling all her role-playing functions. This record was broken by Kate Winslet. In order for the actors in the studio to be able to reproduce the sensations that a person experiences in extreme sports, Cameron lived with them in a tropical forest in Hawaii for several days. They cooked on bonfires, drank water from the leaves - this was, as the director called the experience, "an odyssey of sensory memory." Filmed Kate Winslet, Miel Yeoh, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington.
