Fans and critics of James Cameron's epic blockbuster Avatar have waited 13 years for a sequel.
Offered as groundbreaking in 2009, Avatar's visual effects immersed viewers in an otherworldly oceanscape.
The sequel's release was pushed back six times in order to develop the technologies needed to build on the visual effects successes of the previous film.
The Way of Water won a Critics Choice Award, a Bafta and an Oscar nomination for its special effects - it also became the third highest-grossing film of all time.
Visual effects artists Joe Letteri - who already has four Oscars under his belt - and Eric Saindon, who helped create Gollum in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, spoke to the BBC about their return to Avatar.
