Varang (Oona Chaplin) in AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH.

James Cameron is a truly legendary filmmaker, and one of the most prolific visionaries we have with us today. His movies are pretty synonymous with using cutting-edge technology, and nowhere is that more obvious than in the Avatar franchise. The sci-fi property burst into theaters back in 2009, although we had to wait over a decade for its sequel The Way of Water to arrive. Luckily he shot the second and third movies at the same time, which is why moviegoing audiences are being treated to the threequel Fire and Ash this holiday season.
