The most striking first type is the "concentration booster." Movie "Avatar: The Fire and the Blood" presents a whirlwind of developments with various elements such as the newly introduced "Ash Tribe," threats from humans seeking to seize the resources of the "Pandora planet," and more.

This aspect has led to responses that audiences who recently felt decreased concentration from mainly watching short-form content regained their focus.

#2. "pandora immersion" - Pandora really exists!
Second are reactions from viewers who become overly immersed in the film's setting. From the mysterious nature of the previously unseen "Pandora planet" and the Na'vi to the new tribe introduced in this installment, director James Cameron's detailed world, conceived as early as 30 years ago and brought to completion, thoroughly captivated audiences. Viewers who encountered the further expanded world through "Avatar: The Fire and the Blood" said, "It feels like I went on a trip; even if it was expensive, it wasn't a waste" (CGV jam***), "It felt like I visited a real Pandora planet. The Na'vi actually exist haha" (CGV keo***), "Feels like I bought a ticket to Pandora with the movie ticket = great value lol you can directly experience Pandora's amazing world filling the screen" (Naver dm***) and other reviews as if they had traveled to "Pandora planet." Others wrote, "I wanted to join the battle following Toruk Makto" (CGV haeng***), "Every scene gives me chills #After watching Avatar everyone looks like the enemy; when I see water, fire, or forests I think of Avatar" (CGV haeng***), "Can they screen parts 1 through The Fire and the Blood back-to-back? I just want to live on Pandora all day" (X dd***) and continued fervent responses showing extreme immersion in the world.
#3. "cinematic dopamine recharge" - a blissful cinematic experience only "Avatar: The Fire and the Blood" can deliver!
The final type is the "cinematic dopamine recharge," praising the wondrous visuals and scale that only "Avatar: The Fire and the Blood" can show.
