Jessica lives a life full of pain and guilt after losing her sister years back, trying to fill the emptiness felt by her mother, Amy . On the other hand, unaware of her true past, Joanna lives simply in a humble fisherfolk family as Ana Bartolome. This is my introduction to Filipino cinema, and it's definitely not a wretched start. However, my first question is are they all this emotionally manipulative? The methods that the film takes to squeeze a tear out of the audience are transparent and, many of them, ill-conceived as a whole.

The Pandora world Cameron takes us to is excellent and magnificently conceptualized, but the story is missing the emotional draw that made this film a pretentious masterpiece. Though the visuals are still magnificent, it's difficult this time not to recognize the repetition of the story and the limited character arcs the movie presented. You will remember Avatar---aside from blue people---as a movie with impeccable and out-of-this-world visuals, but the story remains forgettable. Jessica lives a life full of pain and guilt after losing her sister years back, trying to fill the emptiness felt by her mother. Some films are just pure escapism and sometimes that's what audiences need, and this is what Avatar 2 delivered.

This is the kind of story that could be over in roughly forty-five minutes if the characters had an earnest, heartfelt conversation rather than exchanging tears and words of pity and anger every few minutes. Too often does the story and its characters try to make us cry and feel sorry for their situation by creating drama or dry setups, some handled effectively, others handled amateurishly and as a means to exploit. Just like in the first Avatar, characters are established a lot, and there is not much emotional attachment during the first half.
Way Back Home poses, at the very least, a conversational topic for a film that may divide audiences on what the exact ethics are for this particular situation. The daughter who goes missing is Joanna, named Ana by her adoptive parents, and her biological-sister is Jessica, played by Julia Montes, the young and beautiful Filipino breakthrough talent of recent years. Their lives then intertwine in a fateful encounter when the sisters compete against one another in a swimming competition, with Amy finally finding out that Ana is their lost daughter, Joanna.
