The long wait for the highly anticipated sequel of the highest-grossing film of all time might be upsetting for now. However, the "Avatar" director, James Cameron, is making sure that the 8 years of waiting will be worth it, with its increased frame rate, the motion-capture technology that will be used for the movie's underwater scenes, and a greater story arc.

Cameron believes that this will extend the power and emotion the power and the emotion that touched the hearts of millions in "Avatar" to the upcoming sequels.
But that's not all; the filmmaker is also featuring the water ecosystems of Pandora which will be illustrated with the use of the motion-capture technology exclusively for this purpose. Realty Today notes that co-producer Jon Landau confirmed this. "WETA is working out underwater performance capture for underwater scenes," Landau said. "It's going to be like the Floating Mountains in the first movie. It's not going to be all underwater; it's going to be a place we go to, leave and come back to," he was quoted as saying.
Cameron is now challenged to making the upcoming sequels as effective and successful as its predecessor film. Despite this, he assured the fans that "Avatar 2" will not only highlight the advanced technology used but also feature a greater story arc.
