<b>James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water Is a Can-You-Believe-It
Spectacle That Looks to the Future</b><br>
Also, there are battle whales.<br>
PETER SUDERMAN | 12.15.2022 ...<br>
- -<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Which brings us back to Cameron and Avatar: The Way of Water.<br>
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.<br>

December 16, 2014:<br>
In the New York Times, Justin Gillis observes:<br>
<blockquote> "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.<br>
<br>
"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... <br>
<br>
"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."<br>
