Los Angeles, December 3 - James Cameron returns with the third chapter of his long-running epic sci-fi Avatar franchise, and it seems the maverick director has delivered another visual masterpiece. Avatar: Fire and Ash had its worldwide premiere yesterday, and the early critics' reviews, as usual, are highly positive. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Avatar 3 is scheduled to release on December 29, and ahead of it, the critics have seen it and are calling the film an ultimate cinematic spectacle that pushes visuals and emotion to new heights. Some of the journalists are saying that Fire & Ash is the best of the three yet, and something that reminds everyone why movie theatres are built for. The film brings back the original cast, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet, among others, alongside Oona Chaplin, who plays Varang, the Na'vi leader of the volcano-dwelling Mangkwan clan. Cameron said in an earlier interview that "Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that. She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) #AvatarFireAndAsh: 3 films in, James Cameron still has the sauce, making the epic spectacular feel emotionally impactful. A glorious saga.
