James Cameron should be congratulated for his efforts for the planet Pandora and among its inhabitants, the Na’vi people, whom the earthlings plunder and threaten to leave their planet as melted as theirs. A commitment like … when he discovered the mysteries of Titanic and the ocean. Thanks to this insistence, which cinema audiences must thank, the third film labeled ‘Avatar’ now arrives, and even longer than the previous ones. As it has already been announced that there will be two additional deliveries, and probably of similar size, we must assume that the Universe of avatars This will go up to almost a thousand hours of projection. A thousand hours with the 3D glasses and your eyes dancing to the frenetic rhythm of the adventures.
As usually happens, in this third film the surprise effect is already eclipsed, since we know the characters, the fauna and flora of Pandora and the reasons for the intrigue and the war for which the camera will not rest. There are other threats to the Na’vi people and new existential and family problems for the Sully, Jake and Neytiri (Sam Worthington And Zoe Saldana) as well as for their children and foster children. Anyone who’s seen the previous two won’t be able to say they’ll be amazed by this one, but neither will anyone be able to file their nails while watching it.
The many qualities of a filmmaker James Cameron They generally do not cross the defense lines of much criticism, which is impervious to them, and their visual displays, their technological and narrative discoveries or their desire for utopia, world, battle and family do not penetrate beyond several hundred million viewers. It’s a shame that such a competent filmmaker puts his talent to work, alone, with a few.
In “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” Cameron focuses on two issues: the world and family. The massive attacks by earthlings against the spiritual navy, aided on this occasion by a so-called People of Ashes, a bloodthirsty clan of their own species like the renegade Apaches of westerns, force the Sully family and their quiet town to raise their arms, to overcome their old traumas (the son died in the previous battle) and to maintain this spirit of solidarity and family so to Hollywood’s taste.
The city of ashes
The darkness of the film is provided by the City of Ashes and its strange boss, who seems straight out of Apocalyto, and the drumbeat of feelings (of guilt, belonging, need for air and acceptance) is provided by young Lo’ak, Jake’s wayward son, and Spider and his relationship with his foster family and with his brutal father, Commander Quaritch…, in addition to young Kiri, adopted daughter of the Sullys, who has a special connection, wifi, direct line, with the deity Eywa.
Perhaps this latest installment of “Avatar” has a few ills or repetitive areas, but it is dazzling, entertaining, epic and, in its own way, lyrical. And use the bolero watch, the one that doesn’t show the hours.
