The last of the best picture nominees from the 2023 Oscars, Avatar: The Way of Water, is finally available to stream at home.
The Oscar winner for best visual effects is James Cameron’s follow-up to the 2009 sci-fi epic Avatar, which immerses viewers back on the planet of Pandora, where the Na’vi roam.
Avatar: The Way of Water reunites the cast from the first film, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang. Kate Winslet also joined the franchise, reuniting her with Cameron after 1997’s Titanic.
In Avatar 2, Jake Sully (Worthington) finds his family under threat from humans again and takes refuge within a new clan on Pandora, the aquatic Metkayina.
The film first hit theaters in December 2022 and enjoyed a long exclusive theatrical run, something that’s becoming rarer and rarer in this era of streaming. It was a critical hit (with a 76% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and became the highest-grossing movie of 2022, making over $2.3 billion worldwide.
Now, 102 days after debuting in theaters, you can finally watch Avatar: The Way of Water at home for a price.
HOW TO WATCH AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER
You can watch Avatar: The Way of Water now from various streaming and video-on-demand retailers, including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Microsoft. It costs $19.99 to purchase in up to ultra-HD quality.
Currently, there is no rental option, so purchasing a digital copy of the movie is the only option available. Once you buy it, you’ll have indefinite access to stream Avatar: The Way of Water whenever and as often as you’d like.
WILL AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER BE ON DISNEY+?
Eventually, yes! Since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the eventual streaming home for Avatar 2 will be on Disney+ — just like the first Avatar film. However, it’s unclear when the movie will actually debut on Disney’s platform.
