This is our spoiler-free review for Avatar: Fire and Ash. We return to Pandora to discuss the film’s breathtaking visuals, massive scale, and the performances of key characters like Jake Sully and Neytiri, while also unpacking where it falls short. Despite its undeniable spectacle, the story leans heavily on familiar themes and conflicts, offering little meaningful progression, and the dialogue often feels clunky and on-the-nose. We also touch on how the focus on human characters can detract from the richness of Pandora itself. Ultimately, Avatar: Fire and Ash is stunning to watch, but leaves us wanting more from its storytelling.Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in the phenomenally successful “Avatar” franchise, opens exclusively in theatres worldwide December 19, 2025.
