James Cameron's Academy Award®-winning 2009 epic adventure "Avatar", returns to theaters September 23 in stunning 4K High Dynamic Range. On the lush alien world of Pandora live the Na'vi, beings who appear primitive but are highly evolved. Because the planet's environment is poisonous, human/Na'vi hybrids, called Avatars, must link to human minds to allow for free movement on Pandora. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paralyzed former Marine, becomes mobile again through one such Avatar and falls in love with a Na'vi woman (Zoe Saldana). As a bond with her grows, he is drawn into a battle for the survival of her world. Read More Read Less

Critics Consensus

It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron's singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.

Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting It’s not just that we’ve seen the tale before… it’s that every aspect of the screenplay is terrible. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Cameron and his artists have so lovingly imagined the moon of Pandora that every shot of the film contains new wonders. Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Julie and Brandy Autostraddle Five hundred million dollars [wasted]. Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek It is every bit the technical achievement that Cameron promised it would be. However, there is no dodging its weak, underwhelming story. And I don't go back to rewatch The Terminator, Aliens or T2 time after time for the special effects. Rated: 3/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Avatar” remains a transporting experience – an entertaining blend of old-fashioned adventure and technological wonder. Rated: 4/5 Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Preston Barta Fresh Fiction 'Avatar' is not just a visual display. It contains heart, humor, and all the aspects needed to make it a well-rounded story. Sure, the script could have been punched up with something more poetic and less obvious. Still, it’s not a bad egg. Rated: B+ Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
