I thought overall is really good movie which I've come to expect from this series it takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. the cinematography and the graphics are exceptional and sometimes to leave you breathless and really makes you wonder if another world like that can really exist it kept me locked in even though it was a bit long-winded. I like the roles the daughter and son played making it more than just a basic war film, kind of a coming of age thing and gave it a little different twist that shakes your emotions up at times. Id definitely watch it again and recommend it. overall great movie you need to see it but take time to watch the first two before this one

Liked the film. It was not to long and not to short. I wasn't boread at all. But I think it's just the previous film but with less water. There is nothing new in this film.

I suppose when you tell us all in advance that this is only going to be part three of a franchise, we can’t be surprised when the story doesn’t really go anywhere. Well here there isn’t really much of a story at all, just an extension of the last outing with a denouement that almost exactly duplicates “The Way of Water” from 2022. “Jake” and “Neytiri” are having to come to terms with the aftermath of that battle, and she is having quite a bit of difficulty with “Spider” (Jack Champion) whom she would sooner just kill than have hanging about. Meantime, the warlike “Varang” - who could give Boudicca a run for her money, is leading her “Mangkwan” people on a quest to take over the place from the more peaceable elements of the "Na’vi”. Finally, the avatar of colonel “Quaritch” is doing the bidding of general “Ardmore” (Edie Falco) whilst trying to reunite with his lad (“Spider”). Now Mr. Cameron clearly hasn’t made enough money from these to enable that young man to get some decent batteries for the mask that enables him to breath on this blue planet, and that soon presents problems for him and his friends as their indigenous and visiting enemies hit on a plan to co-operate and not only recapture “Jake” but also harvest a fairly substantial supply of the elixir generated by the mighty “Tulkun” when pretty much their entire species assemble for a gathering in a fairly indefensible cove. As usual, “Lo’ak” proves to be a law unto himself, but possibly his bond with “Payakan” as well as the human over-reliance on their technology might help the “Na’vi” to convince their goddess “Eywa” to help out before they are all eliminated. Aside from the introduction of “Varang”, there is not really very much to differentiate this from the other films. There is plenty of action; the reliance on the symbiotic relationship between the people and their neurally-connected planet is further developed and I thought the thrust of the story more placed in the hands of the youngsters as “Jake” and “Neytiri” give way to more from “Lo’ak”, “Spider” and the magnificent sea creatures. There’s no doubting that this is theatrical cinema at it’s best, it’s just a bit too repetitious. There are only so many out of the frying pan into the fire scenarios - captured, rescued, captured again… - before the story starts to run out of oomph. Champion again reminded me of 1940s vine-swinger Johnny Sheffield as he energetically represents the human race throughout but otherwise I found the characterisations all a bit lacklustre as the visuals do almost all of the heavy lifting. It’s a thing of beauty to watch on a big screen with Simon Frenglen delivering a rousing and sweeping score, but at over three hours long I did struggle a little to stay engaged and are we really any nearer an original line for the plot of 2029’s adventure?
