As someone who respects the craft of the Avatar films, it has always baffled me how people treat them as God’s gift to cinema. Like throwing Avatar: Fire and Ash on Best Picture predictions months before the film was shown to anyone. And I am still baffled by it after seeing it.
Fire and Ash is the third installment in James Cameron’s Avatar franchise and it feels more like a redo of the second film, which was an upgrade from the original Avatar movie. In saying that Avatar: Fire and Ash doesn’t give us that many new things to explore in this world. It just feels like telling the same story but with Oona Chaplin as Varang, one of the Na’vi from the “Fire” tribe.
