James Cameron’s post-Avatar: Fire and Ash is getting a lot of attention, and most of the early reviews on Twitter are very positive. The film, which marks the return to the world of Pandora and its growing conflicts, is being applauded in several early review reactions for its beautiful visuals, relatable characters, and impressive action scenes. Many audience reviews also highlight how the movie once again proves Cameron’s mastery of the blockbuster genre..
Some of the audience members who had the chance to view the movie before its official release called it a “visual milestone” and “one of the most astonishing cinematic experiences of the decade.” A lot of early reviewers focused on how James Cameron uses cutting-edge filmmaking technology interwoven with a touching story to produce a film that is both small in scale (in terms of human emotion) and grand (in terms of narrative). Several fan reactions pointed out the development of the characters, mentioning the emotional depth to be even more intense than in previous parts.
Fans are especially thrilled by the way Fire and Ash tells more stories from the world of Pandora. It is said that the sequel explores new places, different ways of life, and new creatures, all of which are presented with the most innovative VFX possible. People on Twitter termed world-building as “mind-blowing” and “on another level,” implying that the movie is setting the benchmark much higher than what was done by Avatar: The Way of Water.
One of the most talked about segments of the movie, as per the people who have seen it, are the action sequences. The critics talked about large-scale battle scenes, underwater sequences, and speedy confrontations all done in Cameron’s signature style. Several users wrote that the third act of the film provides a thrilling experience that “only Cameron can pull off.”
On the emotional side, the initial statements of the people who catch the movie say it goes even deeper into the themes of family bonds, sacrifice, and survival at a high cost. One or two viewers even reveal that the film made them cry. Apart from this, the praises keep pouring on the acting of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and the rest of the cast.
Trade analysts are sure that the positive reviews in the beginning will result in a big box office run. Calling it an “event of the year in cinema,” Avatar: Fire and Ash is rumored to be the next big thing in town scenes worldwide during its release window.
The flood of positive reviews will surely continue until James Cameron decides to call it a day. And that day, if we consider the early reactions, will not be far away as the sequel is mostly going to be one of the year’s biggest cinematic phenomena.
