Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For our next throwback review, in anticipation of the new release of "Avatar: The Way Of Water," we are traveling back to Pandora for James Cameron's 2009 film "Avatar." A true game changer in cinematic history, the film became the highest-grossing movie of all time and ushered in a new era of 3D and motion capture technology. What do we think of Cameron's film thirteen years later, ahead of the release of the much-anticipated sequel? Tune in as I, Lauren LaMagna, Brendan Hodges, Meredith Loftus, Alyssa Christian & Giovanni Lago discuss the story, dialogue, characters, performances, and craftsmanship that went into immersing audiences into a science fiction world that was unlike anything they had seen before. We also discuss its awards season run and more! Thank you for all your support, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
