The three stars out of 5 that I (barely) gave this movie is entirely due to the scenery, special effects and the action. The rest is meh, at best. First of all, a lot of the movie is really a rehash of the second movie. Sure, they throw in the Ash People but the rest is to a large extent very similar.…

I watched Avatar 3 time: Fire & Ash and I'm giving it a straight A+ 🔥 The visuals? Mind-blowing – Pandora has never looked this alive, every flame and wave feels real 😍 That ending left me speechless – emotional, epic, and perfectly sets up what's next James Cameron did it again... this is why we go to the movies! 👏✨

Avatar keep pushing the vfx at the top of levels. The final battle was one of the most crazy scene i`ve never seen. For another hand, the story, still giving me feeling of some disney series family.

Recommended

Liked the film. It was not to long and not to short. I wasn't boread at all. But I think it's just the previous film but with less water. There is nothing new in this film.

Recommended

I watched this movie last week. The visual effects were stunning, but the storyline was clichéd and didn't break away from the pattern of the second film, so my rating for it is lower than for the first and second films.

Recommended

this was actually really good i mean nothing beats the 2009 one but this one is as good as the 2nd one so again 8/10 stars.

Recommended

I thought overall is really good movie which I've come to expect from this series it takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. the cinematography and the graphics are exceptional and sometimes to leave you breathless and really makes you wonder if another world like that can really exist it kept me locked in even though it was a bit long-winded.…

I suppose when you tell us all in advance that this is only going to be part three of a franchise, we can’t be surprised when the story doesn’t really go anywhere. Well here there isn’t really much of a story at all, just an extension of the last outing with a denouement that almost exactly duplicates “The Way of Water” from 2022.…

The first film is a classic and really made 3D movies a thing again. This one brought back that magic just like the original in that it was another roller coaster adventure. The score was terrific, almost as good as the first one. The vibes are dark, dark, and emotional, but strong character builds made for a fantastic plot line execution. Disney fan service was notably fine-tuned and props for that one.…

Not recommended

I give it 5/10 because, this 5 stars are for technical side. Movie has amazing effects, especially if you're watching it in 3D. It's visually beautiful, however I'm not giving rest 5 stars because of its narrative and agenda. Movie portraits us - humankind as evil, conquering race and simply bad.…

Recommended

One of the first things that stood out to me was how feminine this film felt in the best possible way. Almost every major female character holds power, agency, or authority: the Tulkun matriarch, Ronal, Tonowari’s clan through Ronal’s influence, Kiri, General Ardmore, Varang, and especially Neytiri, who finally gets the screen presence she deserved after the first film.…
