As Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and his men continue their search for Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family, another, aggressive, Na’vi tribe make their presence known.

The third Avatar does pretty much something that James Cameron is not usually known for: deliver more of the same, without offering anything substantially new. Much of the story is similar to The Way of Water, which was shot simultaneously in 2017-2020.

Way overlong, with spiritual moments and occasional thrills; Oona Chaplin is worth a look as a fierce tribal leader.
