As explosive rave reactions pour in for Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Fire and Ashes, expectations among domestic movie fans have surged to a peak with only two weeks left before the local release.
Foreign media and critics who watched the film first at preview screenings unanimously praised the astonishing visual spectacle that only the Avatar series can present. Warm responses included "a film that reinforces why theaters exist" (Variety), along with exclamations such as "an overwhelming spectacle that poured everything into it" (Scott Mendelson), "a visual masterpiece" (Bleeding Cool), and "from start to finish it is jaw-droppingly astonishing. One of the most visually overwhelming films to play in theaters in recent years" (Geeks of Color). Regarding the expanded world and the emergence of new tribes, reactions included "James Cameron has perfectly built his world" (Screen Rant), "you will be completely immersed in the world of Pandora like never before" (Collider), "it explores Pandora more deeply and allows you to savor the enormous expansion of the universe" (Michael J Lee), "the overwhelming presence of the ash tribe" (Cris Parker), "the MVP of this installment is 'Barang'" (Variety), and "Una Chaeflin gives an impressive performance as the character 'Barang'" (Screen Rant).
Above all, critics marveled at the birth of a blockbuster that will carry on the series, saying "a more spectacular narrative than the previous series" (Screen Rant), "bigger, better and more emotionally resonant than any series" (Variety), and "the best of the Avatar series" (Screen Rant). They added that "grand action sequences stand out" (Cinema Daily US), "breathtakingly excellent battle scenes" (sagesurge), and "this year's best action sequences" (AV Club), predicting that unprecedented-scale action scenes will unfold on screen and captivate everyone. In enthusiastic responses such as "a nonstop parade of astonishing scenes you couldn't even imagine" (Griffin Schiller), audience anticipation for Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Fire and Ashes has risen even higher, with praise for its otherworldly technical achievements: "a work that shows technological and sensory achievements on a wondrous level" (Scott Mendelson), "keeps the audience in a completely different world for the entire running time" (UPROXX), and "visuals, new characters, and remarkable technological advancement—everything is great" (Variety). 'Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Fire and Ashes' tells a larger-scale crisis unfolding on a Pandora covered in fire and ash when the ash tribe led by 'Barang' appears before the Sully family, who are grieving the death of Jake and Neytiri's first son, Neteyam. It is the third installment of the Avatar series, which drew 13.62 million viewers domestically and became a global box-office hit, and it will open first in the world in Korea on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
