Avatar: Fire and Ash
Bastien Jalby rated ★ 8/10
Community Reviews
Audiences find 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' visually stunning and technically impressive, continuing to praise its breathtaking special effects and immersive 3D experiences. However, many express disappointment with the repetitive storyline, feeling it's too similar to previous installments without sufficient innovation. The introduction of new characters and tribes adds some freshness, but isn't explored deeply enough to satisfy all viewers. Despite its length and familiar narrative arcs, the film's visual spectacle still manages to captivate.
👍 Visuals and special effects are consistently praised.
👎 Storyline feels repetitive and lacks depth.

The character of Varang is so disappointing, with no nuance where many elements could have been better exploited. Visually impressive, even if some shots seem to have been designed for 3D or 4DX.
Avatar un et le meilleur et suis le trois, le deux était nul le trois était pas mal. La petite fille de Charlie Chaplin joue très très bien très beau film.
7.5/10 très très beau mais trop ressemblant au 2 dans les combats et l’intrigue , le nouveau peuple des cendres ne m’a pas fait bcp d’effet. De plus, en imax j’ai pas compris pourquoi des fois on avait l’impression que le film était en 30 fps et après repassait a 60 c’était étrange . Et puis pour finir le fait que le caporal va, à mon avis encore revenir ça commence à faire long.
What a drastic fumble. To start off, I binged the Avatar today and didn't have time to watch Avatar WOTW. So I watched a recap of the second movie in order to know context for the third movie. Now I know that's not optimal, and that might have lead to a lot of my concerns with this movie. But I believe that even if I were to watch Avatar Way of the Water, I would still have these same concerns. First off, holy fuck, what is that runtime? No lie, I checked my watch like six times while watching this movie. It just drags unnecessarily long and it feels very repetitive and not needed. There's lots of different subplots happening at the same time (Like Nitiri having an injured shoulder or Loak helping a whale.) These subplots are very bloated and could easily be cut down to save the viewer's time and overall help the pacing. The characters are so mid, Jake Sully is a shell of who he was in Avatar 1. I feel like in Avatar 1, he was this very charismatic, all-around rounded dude that I could root for. In this, he's just so bland, boring, and generic. The only character that I thought was somewhat interesting in this one was Miles Quaritch. He felt like he actually developed into a person instead of being just a one-sided cartoony villain. The little scene with him and Spider in RDN was funny and showed a different side of what we usually see of him. I thought him offering a burger and thinking that he could pretend to be his dad added to his character quite well. There were a few scenes that I enjoyed. The Miles cocaine trip scene I thought was fun and unique. When Jake Sully gets arrested and gets put into the cage scene, I thought it was a cool change and created cool scenes to branch off of like the random dude that saves him with a bulldozer and Nitiri bombing the place. Other than that, I thought the big finale was kind of underwhelming. There’s also this scene in the beginning of the movie where Miles and Jake end up working together and sleep together with the whole family??? Even though Miles has a mission to retrieve Spider and turn in Jake Sulley. Miles can literally do both of those right then and there but he just… doesn’t??? And my final big issue… WHAT IS UP WITH THE FRAMERATE?!?!? I felt like I was losing my mind watching this film. Some scenes were 60 FPS, they were super smooth and looked like a video game cutscene, and some scenes were standard 30 FPS, which is perfectly fine. THE ISSUE is when you randomly switch between 60 and 30 FPS in the middle of scenes with no rhyme or reason. I somewhat get changing the FPS for action scenes to help the viewer be more immersed, but I could see/feel each switch and it was so distracting. This constant jumping between 60 and 30 FPS completely ruins the movie for me. 60 FPS looks way too smooth, like a weird video game cutscene or me playing Fortnite with 144 HZ cranking 90s. And 30 FPS looked way too choppy and slow compared to the previous 60 FPS shot. This left a bad taste in my mouth and this is the final nail in the coffin for me. James Cameron, you made an incredible first Avatar movie, but your Avatar sequels are not cutting it. You aren’t willing to expand in a more interesting thought provoking way and you stretch these films to their limits just so you can have time to show off your precious CGI water and creatures. Please do better man… 5/10.

On and on and on they continued the same fight as previous two movies in this third one. It’s the repetition and sidesteps of moral clarity in many scenes like Kiri uses power of Eywa to save Spider, and and so on, was the downside of this movie. But regardless it was visually aesthetic and interesting to see Nytiri going through her mourning period since her boy died in the second.
