A star rating of 4 out of 5.
James Mottram
Returning us to the alien planet of Pandora, James Cameron's third Avatar epic comes in all guns blazing, heating up the battle between the humans and the Na'vi. Though much of the focus is still on former Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his Na'vi family, the threat from the colonising military group RDA grows worse when Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) forms an uneasy alliance with Varang (Oona Chaplin), leader of the fire-friendly Mangkwan clan, also known as the Ash People. At over three hours long, the film's narrative never quite justifies its length, as Cameron lurches through multiple frenetic and overwhelming battles. But with a sincere if simple message baked in about the destructive qualities of humanity, several scenes - such as one where the planet's whale-like population is attacked - do hit home. This is not least because of the spectacular world-building characteristic of this series; the sheer effort put into creating the bio-luminescent forests, turquoise oceans and, now, fiery volcanos is worth the ticket price alone. Released once again in state-of-the-art 3D, it's a marvel of CG craftsmanship and of Cameron's pursuit of technical perfection.
