The making of Avatar: The Way of Water’s Oscar-winning visual effects – BBC News
Hailed as groundbreaking in 2009, Avatar’s visual effects took viewers to a vibrant alien world.
The film’s much-anticipated sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, had its release date pushed back six times to allow for the development of new motion capture technology.
The Way of Water won the 2023 Academy Award for visual effects, as well as a Bafta and Critics Choice Award in the same category.
The film’s visual effects artists Joe Letteri and Eric Saindon spoke to the BBC about the making of the movie.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Investing provides a means of allocating money for the purpose of generating income or profit in the future. By investing, individuals can set aside funds while still engaging in their day-to-day activities, allowing their money to work for them and reap the rewards of their labor in the future. It is important to invest wisely, making informed decisions and carefully considering the risks and potential returns associated with each investment opportunity.

Fun thing is that Tron Legacy (2010) used the same insanely-praised technology from Avatar (2009) and it didn't get a single nomination.
That's how the Academy works. Their first choice is based on how popular a movie is, then its political correctness and the quality goes last.

I will not watch that movie. The sequel is always overdone. More action, more effects, more of everything. Its just not worth watching sequels.

Great FX and cool show, but really the plot was nothing special. It was more humans doing bad stuff and they fight them, roll credits. Ok so we got to see the ocean tribe. All I know is the next movie better actually expand on this story in some kind of new way. Maybe show earth? Maybe have some of the Navi go to earth? Maybe SOMETHING unique happen to shift the narrative. It better not just be more spear throwing against humans in vehicles.
