Avatar Fire and Ash first reviews on X

Those who watched the early shows of the film shared their review of Avatar: Fire and Ash on X, formerly known as Twitter. Most of them have praised the film for its stunning visuals and nostalgic theme.

A user wrote about the film, “I saw Avatar: Fire and Ash and this is by far THE BEST Avatar movie yet. Like the first 2 movie, the visuals and the environment of Pandora is still gorgeous, the fight scenes are so BADASS and the fire Navi don't F*** AROUND. It's so emotional (sic).”

While many critics called the film boring, especially for its runtime, some members of the audience said otherwise.

“Watched #AvatarFireAndAsh. Basically, the same things I liked from the second one is there too. Visually amazing and very entertaining, those 3 plus hours doesn't feel and never got boring watching it. Varang and Quaritch are great tbh (sic),” added another.

Many also said that they preferred Avatar: Fire and Ash over the previous two films-- Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and Avatar (2009).

One also posted, “Avatar Fire And Ash | 9/10. Kinda like this 3rd film compared to the first 2.”

“This is not a review but what I can say for now is JUST WATCH IT! Watch for the experience,” shared someone else.

Yet another said, “AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH feels like a direct continuation of The Way of Water. Jake Sully fights to protect his family as a new villain enters the picture. Oona Chaplin steals the film. Stunning visuals, action, and Zoe Saldana shine. Just wanted something different.”

A different user questioned the film and wrote on the micro-blogging site: “Avatar: Fire and Ash looks stunning — but feels like déjà vu. More Pandora, more spectacle, same themes, 3+ hours long. Once revolutionary, now oddly nostalgic. Visual wonder or expensive repetition?”

Avatar: Fire and Ash release date

Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to release in India and worldwide on 19 December.

Before its global release in theatres, the film premiered at the Dolby Theatre on December 1.

The Live Mint review of Avatar: Fire and Ash reads, “James Cameron has reportedly used only Motion Capture and CGI to create the films. I wish a little of the two billion dollar budget had gone into a better storyline instead of predictable beats. I will happily watch Avatar: Way of the Water again at IMAX, but not this one. Dhurandhar has a better story of revenge, violence, even has family drama, and thankfully it is at 24 frames per second and not the video gamey HFR!”
