The much anticipated first trailer for James Cameron’s third Avatar feature made a splash playing exclusively in theaters ahead of “The Fantastic Four”. Now everyone gets their first look at “Avatar: Fire and Ash”. Admittedly, 2009’s “Avatar” blew me away as a technical achievement but left me cold and indifferent with its story. But its sequel, 2022’s “The Way of Water”, reshaped the way I looked at the entire franchise. Not only did it make the first film better, it expanded on it in some incredible ways both visually and narratively. I was immediately looking forward to a third film.
“Fire and Ash” looks to follow the mammoth success of its predecessors which each made well over $2 billion at the global box office. With a $250 million budget behind it, “Fire and Ash” expands Cameron’s epic world even further, introducing new parts of Pandora, new tribes, new creatures, and new threats. But at its core remains a family-centered story which follows the tragic events of the second film. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and many others return in what is sure to be one of the biggest motion picture events of the year.
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” soars into theaters on December 19th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
