I saw Avatar (2009) when I was 11 years old. I was the perfect age for it, and it remains one of my more cherished theatergoing experiences; I don’t think I’ll forget shoveling popcorn in my mouth while watching Jake Sully run from the thanator. Tonight, I saw Fire and Ash, and I wanted to rank the Avatar movies so far. Nerds lock in.
Avatar: The Way of Water
Avatar under the sea? Yes please. I had
some friends complain about the length of Way of Water, but I could’ve
spent a year watching beautiful alien fish swim around. These movies are
credited for being visual feasts, and this one takes the cake. It maintains the
same structure and beats of the first one, but the new visual buffet had me not
worrying about that very much at all.

The classic! The original! The OG! As
aforementioned, it touched this young boy’s heart and helped me fall further
and further in love with the cinematic experience. I saw this with my Dad when
he was on his lunch break at work, which at the time I just accepted, but in
hindsight is insane given the movie’s length. I’m grateful for that experience
and I’m grateful he didn’t get fired.
Avatar: Fire and Ash
Literally just walked out of this one a
half hour ago. It was okay! I think big Jim really would benefit from getting a
new structure going for the next two. Really was hoping for a new pallet, a new
biome, and we got more forest, sea, and air battles. Which were gorgeous to
watch as always! But I wanted something new! This was a horny movie. I’ll say
that.

Thanks for reading!
