Only Avatar 3 has been filmed with this one.


Like the first film, it has been filmed in [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDMovie stereoscopic 3D]]. Cameron planned sequels to ''Avatar'' as far back as the release of the first film back in the 2000s, but he wanted to [[ExtremelyLengthyCreation wait until the special effect technologies to make them would be advanced enough]], especially in regards to water effects and underwater MotionCapture, hence the thirteen-year SequelGap. Several of the planned sequels have been [[MovieMultipack filmed back to back]] along with this one since September 2017.

* ArtEvolution: The first film was no slouch in the department of remarkable visual effects, but this movie ups the ante in this regard, being even more realistically detailed. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uCRLNNdHWU This YouTube video]] details some of the graphical differences.
** The reflection of Neytiri's eyelashes in her eyes are visible, and hair follicles and skin can be seen on her face.
** Jake's Avatar skin is far less glossy then it was in the prior film in mid-distance shots.
** The vines connecting the Hallelujah mountains are lit in brighter settings that show off incredible detail, and there isn't any usage of clouds or fog to cover the distant details.
