*James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water Is a Can-You-Believe-It 
Spectacle That Looks to the Future*
Also, there are battle whales.
PETER SUDERMAN | 12.15.2022 ...
- -
So it is hardly a shock that the biggest advances in theatrical 
spectacle have come not from futuristic technology but from 
redeployments of the old, pre-digital ways: Christopher Nolan flipping a 
semitruck in downtown Chicago for The Dark Knight, Tom Cruise flying in 
a fighter plane cockpit as it zooms just above tree height over the 
desert, the gritty post-apocalyptic truck chases of Mad Max: Fury Road. 
Hollywood's analog revanchists have produced truly astounding images and 
great movies, but they've been throwbacks, premised at least to some 
degree on the idea that the old ways are the best.

Which brings us back to Cameron and Avatar: The Way of Water.
Cameron, in contrast, combines the two, along with some of the most 
detailed computer-generated artistry I've ever seen, to create an 
enveloping alien world. It too presents as hyperreal, but in a way that 
adds startling depth and weight, in marked contrast to the pixelated 
weightlessness of so much contemporary CGI. It's startling and frankly 
breathtaking, a deeply immersive, technology-mediated experience I've 
never had before. Watching Avatar: The Way of Water often resembles 
watching a particularly lush and vivid nature documentary, but set on an 
alien planet with intelligent battle whales.

December 16, 2014:
  In the New York Times, Justin Gillis observes:

    "After two weeks of grinding meetings in Lima, Peru, the world’s
    climate negotiators emerged this weekend with a deal. They settled
    on preliminary language, to be finalized a year from now in Paris,
    meant to help keep the long-term warming of the planet below 3.6
    degrees Fahrenheit.

    "That upper boundary was first settled on four years ago at another
    round of talks in Cancun, Mexico. On the centigrade scale, it equals
    two degrees above the global average temperature at the beginning of
    the Industrial Revolution...

    "Yet even as the 2C target has become a touchstone for the climate
    talks, scientific theory and real-world observations have begun to
    raise serious questions about whether the target is stringent enough."
