Maybe Cameron reacquainted himself with the work of Sam Raimi.
Maybe hes drinking from the same cup asS.S.
Rajamouli, who made the magnificent, absolutely ludicrousIndian importRRR.

Cue another immersive, action-packed adventure, but this time with a more nuanced message.
This is sharp, considered storytelling.
The move from land- to sea-based existence is the way a new film was created.
