Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet head back to the future to continue the Pandoran struggle against genocidal colonists from Earth.

Bad guys Oona Chaplin and Stephen Lang add spark to James Cameron's third dazzling and surreal dispatch from Pandora, one that restates much of what's come before.

Cameron’s waste of time, money, and talent continues apace with Avatar: Fire and Ash (December 19, in theaters), the third entry in the franchise to which he’s apparently dedicated the remainder of his life,

Cameron hasn't lost his zesty storytelling brio, even if the story he tells is starting to feel like his version of the "Star Wars" prequels. As in: It's fine, but do we actually care about it? Cameron himself has a sixth sense for when to break up the windy chronicle of Pandora with a squid attack,

Rather than being the emotional center of the story as she was in the previous two movies, Neytiri is in the throws of grief and is angry at all of humankind for the loss of her son. That includes their adopted son Spider, with the tension in their relationship reaching a boiling point during Fire and Ash.

In James Cameron’s latest 3-D science-fiction extravaganza, the Na’vi family tree gets more complicated, but our sense of wonderment flattens out.

James Cameron's new film, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang, is in theaters December 19.

The American Cinematheque has announced its honorees for the 5th annual Tribute to the Crafts, which includes Avatar: Fire and Ash, Frankenstein, Kpop Demon Hunters, Sinners and Weapons, among others.
