The sequel to the 2009 record-breaking movie Avatar hits cinemas next week - but with an eye-watering budget and lengthy run time - will audiences help James Cameron's latest film recoup its huge investment?
The film sees Sam Worthington return to the role of Na'vi leader Jake Sully and is rooted around the family he now has with warrior Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana."It's a mighty film, and very heart-wrenching.
Thanks to the magic of motion capture, Sigourney Weaver returns, playing Jake Sulley's adoptive teenage daughter."It's an experience so immersive and also takes your breath away," she told Sky News, adding that she will need to see the film once more to get the full experience from it.Sigourney Weaver in Avatar: The Way Of Water.

Cameron, who overtook his own movie, Titanic, with Avatar as the highest grossing film ever in 2009, has already set the wheels in motion for the next films in the franchise - and spent much of the last decade preparing. "And then we started at full tilt five years ago... and then we shot two movies, actually part of the third one."Cameron also describes his new sci-fi epic as a"love letter to the oceans".
