It’s been a punchline for over a decade that there are no true fans of James Cameron’s Avatar franchise. Despite both films doing exceptionally well at the box office, the series always seems just outside of the general zeitgeist up until the moment it returns to theaters.
In an unexpected turn of events, the third time seems to be the charm for me. Weeks ahead of the upcoming movie, I find myself excited to return to Cameron’s sci-fi universe, largely thanks to Massive Entertainment’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. While the game’s recent (and substantial) update got me to try this underrated action game once again, I’ve been totally enraptured by its surprisingly heartfelt story of one’s journey to reconnect with their own culture.
