Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.
Is that enough to get you back into a theatre? Because the trailer demonstrates why it’s taken 13 years between films — it’s mesmerizing.
