"Avatar: Fire and Ash", first reactions

"The movie that cinemas exist for," says the journalists

Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released globally on December 19, but special screenings for critics have already taken place in the United States and the United Kingdom. It's also a good sign: major studios rarely organize these early screenings unless they have immense confidence in their film's potential to captivate. Critics' conclusion? A film that "pushes the limits of technology in unimaginable ways," notes Variety.
