Seeking acceptance at new home

THIRTEEN years ago, Academy Award-winner James Cameron introduced moviegoers to a world unlike any they’d ever seen with his breathtaking epic Avatar.

Now, the visionary filmmaker is inviting audiences on a brand-new cinematic journey with the highly anticipated Avatar: The Way of Water.

Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana reprise their iconic roles, playing Jake Sully and Neytiri, now loving parents doing everything they can to keep their family together.

When unforeseen events displace them from their home, the Sullys travel across the vast reaches of the moon Pandora, ultimately fleeing to territory held by the Metkayina clan, who live in harmony with their surrounding oceans.

There, the Sullys must learn to navigate both the dangerous water world and the uncomfortable dynamics of gaining acceptance from their new community.

In addition to Worthington and Saldana, the film stars Academy Award-nominee Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis and Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet.

The movie also introduces audiences to a group of talented young actors including Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion and Bailey Bass.

Avatar: The Way of Water hits Swan Hill screens on December 14 with advanced screenings at Showbiz Cinemas.
