Once you’ve seen a handful of movies directed by James Cameron , it’s possible to start recognizing some motifs or just things that likely appeal to Cameron. He tends to make action and/or sci-fi movies, he likes robots/mech suits, features strong female characters in lead or supporting roles, he’ll usually work romance into his stuff, he’s always pushing special effects forward, and, most significantly of all, the guy really, really, really likes water.
The cyborg wants to ensure the machine war does happen and humanity’s defeated, while the soldier wants to prevent such a thing, protecting the woman who’s destined to give birth to John Connor, the man who has a chance at leading humanity to victory. It’s all great, still holding up today as a slick action/thriller with a decent amount of horror , but it’s light on water, with some rained-on streets seen early on and not much else when it comes to wetness.
Letting Arnold Schwarzenegger play the heroic Terminator this time around was a good call, as was the character development for Sarah Connor, who’s a real badass here. But there’s also an argument to be made that Terminator 2 is even drier than the first movie, because it just feels a little hotter and more fiery, and some of it even takes place in the desert.
6 'Avatar' Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver As made obvious by the title, James Cameron saved a lot of the water-related stuff in Avatar for its 2022 sequel, with the wetter parts of the moon known as Pandora less pronounced in this first movie. Instead, 2009’s Avatar is defined by lush green colors, more than blue, with plenty of trees, cliffs, and jungle-type areas explored throughout the film.
Still, one of the most memorable parts of Aliens does use water very effectively, with the image of a xenomorph emerging from the water behind Newt proving difficult to forget. Aliens is less horror-focused than Alien, but given one of the scariest moments in the film uses a large amount of water to its advantage, the otherwise fairly dry Aliens has to be awarded some points for the purposes of this very silly ranking.
The humans who were defeated at the end of Avatar do an Empire and Strike Back in The Way of Water, necessitating that Jake and his family move from where they’d been residing, to save themselves and their fellow Na'vi. They go to stay with an aquatic clan on Pandora, and this allows plenty of scenes – some relaxing, and some intense/action-packed – to feature amazing-looking alien oceans, filled with awe-inspiring sights and distinctive underwater creatures.
