Avatar: Fire and Ash hit the theatres on December 19, 2025.
James Cameron's film opened to mixed reviews from netizens.
Though it is a visual treat and a masterpiece in technical innovation, story-wise, Avatar 3 failed to live up to the audience's expectations.
Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron has returned with his much-hyped Avatar: Fire and Ash. The third instalment arrived in cinemas on December 19, with fans flocking to theatres to watch the first day, first show of the sci-fi saga. The world of Pandora grows larger with the new Ash tribe and their leader, Varang. Like the previous instalments, Avatar 3 also returned with the same grandeur, best action sequences and standout performances—making it a visual masterpiece. But story-wise, the film seems to have fallen flat due to the predictable plot. Many found it repetitive and also said that the pace slowed down due to the dragging of the subplots.
One Twitter user wrote that Cameron's film was a visual feast with "narrative hiccups." Another wrote, "The story takes bold swings, lands surprises you’d never expect, and proves James Cameron is still operating on a different level. Hard to believe, but it’s the best of the trilogy so far."
