Initial reactions to Avatar: Fire and Ash have started circulating, giving audiences an early impression of James Cameron’s latest chapter. With the film only weeks from its theatrical debut, early reactions are highlighting its striking visual work and strong overall presentation.
ScreenRant’s Molly Freeman praised the movie’s presentation on X (formerly Twitter), noting that “Avatar: Fire and Ash is visually stunning, and it has a better spectacle-to-story balance than previous films in the series,” while also calling some narrative decisions “bizarre.” Freeman added that the film contains strong character moments and praised Oona Chaplin’s performance as Varang, calling the new antagonist “genuinely scary.”
Variety’s Jazz Tangcay offered an even stronger praise, describing the threequel as “a staggering achievement of moviemaking.” She highlighted its “gorgeous visuals,” new characters, and increased stakes.
Courtney Howard remarked that Cameron “still has the sauce.” She praised the scale and emotional impact of the story, calling the new film “bold, brilliant & awesome in every way.”
In addition to these early reactions, Chris Parker wrote on X, “#AvatarFireAndAsh James Cameron once again deliver a remarkable visual feast. The fire tribe are a scene stealing presence. Oona Chaplin’s dynamic w/ Quaritch was a highlight.” Meanwhile, Sagesurge described the film as a “visual masterpiece” and “breathtaking.”
The upcoming film continues directly after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, which ended with the loss of Jake Sully and Neteyam. The new movie finds the Sully family coping with that tragedy while facing a growing threat from the Fire tribe.
Avatar: Fire and Ash opens in theaters on December 1, 2025.
