Fans can now experience The Way of Water at home.
James Cameron’s second adventure into Pandora defied skeptics and was a record-breaking success at the cinema, becoming the third-biggest movie of all time grossing $2.31 billion (£1.88bn).
Aptly titled The Way of Water, the sequel is set 15 years after the events of Avatar and sees the Na’vi navigate the planet’s oceans, continuing the stories of Jake (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and the rest of the tribe.
Although the film is still available to watch in some cinemas, fans will be thrilled to hear they can now experience The Way of Water in the comfort of their own home.
Speaking with NPR‘s Morning Edition show, Cameron recently offered his thoughts on those watching the movie, which has been hailed for its stunning visuals, at home instead of in cinemas.
“If you watch The Way of Water at home on a reasonably large flat-screen TV with a decent sound system and you sit close enough and that way across the room, you’re going to have a good experience,” he said.
“I think when you start looking at something on a phone, you’re sort of missing the point. Going to a movie theater is less about the size of the screen and the perfection of the sound system. And it’s more about a decision to not multitask.”

Sadly, we don’t have a release date for the movie on the streaming platform yet.
Disney releases in 2022 were given a minimum of a 45-day exclusive theatrical window, barring a few exceptions such as Strange World.
However, when a movie is doing well in cinemas, its release on streaming platforms can be delayed to maximise its box office sales.
Considering that Avatar: The Way of Water was a huge success, it’s likely that Disney will keep it in cinemas as long as possible to maximise ticket sales, and fans can probably expect a Disney Plus debut towards the end of April or early May.
