I Watched Avatar: The Way of Water Four Times Because Ukraine Kept Losing Power

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) — my review, and the strange story of finally managing to watch it from beginning to end in Ukraine during the winter of 2022.

Most movie reviews follow a familiar pattern: you go to the cinema once, watch the film, go home, think about it for a few hours, and write down your thoughts. My experience with Avatar: The Way of Water was nothing like that. I ended up seeing it four times—not because I loved it so much that I couldn’t stop watching, but because the electricity kept disappearing. I finally managed to watch the entire movie on December 20, 2022. That date matters to me because, under ordinary circumstances, watching a Hollywood blockbuster is one of the simplest things in the world. You buy a ticket, sit in the dark for three hours, and leave. In Ukraine at the end of 2022, almost nothing felt ordinary.
