Sam Worthington Talks 'Avatar: The Way of Water', Underwater Acting, and Sigourney Weaver
Ойын-сауық
In the 13 years between installments in the “Avatar” franchise, Sam Worthington got married and had three sons. Nearly everything, he says, revolves around them, even the decision to relocate from Australia to New York City, where stricter laws about paparazzi mean he can better protect his children’s privacy. “Avatar: The Way of Water” mirrors some of the shifts in Worthington’s own life. Jake Sully, the improbable savior of a group of extraterrestrials known as the Na’vi, has also settled down and had children. We catch up with Sam Worthington to discuss all things "Avatar".

@@sheltondmello8031 i disagree. I rewatched the first one and I can see that he’s performance is nothing to rave about really in the first one but I think he did a damn fine job with the story they went with. But after seeing the second one for a second time yesterday, I really thought he was on point! His performance stood out in the last act the most to me. I really thought he was incredible though. Zoe Saldana is no slouch too and the kid who played Lo’ak was outstanding to say the least I thought. They are packed full of talent though

@@sheltondmello8031 absolutely disagree. why else would james cameron choose sam worthington you wouldn't want a bad actor playing your films no? Sam is incredible at acting all you've seen from sam is avatar and assume he's a bad actor? All cast members of avatar act well.

As someone who has rewatched 1 and 2 many times, I strongly disagree. He played his character really really well ever since the beginning. Imagine doing what he do. He acts on a plain studio relying only on his imagination and visualization. That's not an easy task.
This movie is beyond what I imagined. So so so epic !

I saw it and hoped to be better story wise is very poorly made. In terms of visuals cgi it's of course the highlight. I love the new human tech and fight escenes. But I expected they made it at least as good as the first one or try something more new.
Cameron and his casting directors have the magic touch in putting together amazing talent: Ed and Mary, Leo and Kate, Sam and Zoe, Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis, etc. And supporting cast like Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Stephan Lang, etc
Honestly, I think Sam Worthington is a great actor! Really liked his performance in the first film and his performance in the Way of Water as a protective father and husband was really well done!
As a movie goer, as someone who LOVES sci-fi adventures and action movies, this movie in my 25 years of life CHANGED ME. It is just straight beautiful the actors EVERY SINGLE ONE deserves a Oscar. Pure cinema.

Jake is my favorite charecter on the movie. It a masterpiace
This whole movie was like watching a magic trick unfold before your very eyes. Was the story simple? Yeah. But sometimes that's all you need and all you want. Movies like this don't get made very often and serve to remind you why you go to cinema.
Seen this movie an hour ago! Way better than the first one! So epic, so dazzling and so majestic! 9/10 for me, can't wait for the sequel! Also, try see it in 3D if you can!

@@nifailsoudmand2988 Hard disagree. Most of the movie has at least one major element in each shot which is 3D to portray depth between foreground and background. It's not trying to pop out of the screen as a gimmick. Vibrancy loss in some parts is a fair criticism, but many people still enjoy 3D. 2D or 3D, I think it's worth either way.

He gave a terrific performance in a Film called 'The Shack'. Highly recommend it!
He may be known for Avatar, but I like him more for his role as Alex Mason in Black Ops. I also read that in the years before auditioning for Avatar, he was living in his car that he bought after selling most of his possessions. Now that is an example to follow!
For Sam Avatar the way of water is like a Time travel🤣

Sam Worthington is very underrated and hard to believe he was almost Dracula back when Dracula Untold was called Dracula Year Zero, yet that didn't happen. When Universal was doing The Mummy for The Dark Universe, they should've gone for him as Nick Morton instead of Tom Cruise for The Mummy because Sam Worthington wouldn't have made it into a trainwreck like that Circus Midget Tom Cruise did.

james cameron would go down in history for making actors don't need to work again afterwards
Am I the only one who thinks he would have made an awesome Batman/Bruce Wayne?
SAM is better in 3D...Water is what he was built for....As a lifeguard trainer and swim coach, the 3D scenes brought me back to open water ocean swimming/free-diving... Well done, cast and crew...no sequel needed...

It makes some sense since they make it clear that she's not an ordinary child. So perhaps she wouldn't have a normal voice, given she is a child of Eywa and Grace.
No because I’m depressed they killed neteyam
Is the disaster movie he’s talking about The Titan on Netflix? Cause that movie was horrifying
Mason!
RIP Marvel
The script in the second was weak ngl - there were some lines when I was cringing hard - definitely more about the visuals
this sequel is so strange. it's the exact same movie as the first one, only now Jake ands Neytiri are basically abandoned and it's all about the children. the action feels exactly the same as in the first movie and overall it's way less impressive than the first movie.
Don't like the character that got killed off. 6\10. First one was better but still 10\10 visuals. Incredible cgi.

How did he ever get this part? He is a basic off brand vanilla actor. can someone please show me a movie that he isn’t just basic as crap in? Please? Does it exist? Also, if the guy doesn’t walk, like if he doesn’t like learn how to walk in the film or they fix his back or some shit… like you know they can build remote control aliens but they can’t fix dudes back? all right…yeah OK that makes sense but I digress, if he doesn’t walk in the movie why didn’t you use the opportunity to hire an actor with disabilities? why are you going to write in a part for an actor with disabilities and then hire an actor that does not have disabilities that shit is mad weak dude.

@Curing Boredom I’m not saying he’s absolute garbage he is fine but like he’s not good, and why didn’t they hire somebody with disabilities like those fools are trying to get jobs and they need them but I guess if they’re going to have the actors run around in motion capture suits, it’s not feasible, but having actors running around in motion, capture suits takes jobs away from stunt people who need to work also so I mean, it’s kind of fucked either way.

It says multiple times that they can fix his back but he just doesnt have the money for it. They needed somebody who could walk for the mo-cap scenes which is most of the movie. If they casted a disabled person for the role then they would have had to have somebody else for the mo-cap scenes.
