“Avatar 3: Fire And Ash” (**1/2 out of four) was a visually extraordinary but exhausting third entry in this blockbuster series about Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) still grappling from the grief of the death of their son who have to once again go back into battle this time against a new aggressive tribe called the Ash People ((led by Oona Chaplin) and the vicious Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Director James Cameron packs this with enough showstopping visuals (especially if you see it in IMAX and 3D) and breathtaking imagery to make this worthwhile………but it’s numbingly overlong at nearly three-and-a-half hours and starts to wear you out. Series is starting to show its age at this point, with Cameron covering mostly the same themes as colonialism and isolation that he covered in the first 2. Final battle scene is a real wow but this definitely bears the mark of going to the well once too often.
