Pop culture commentator and podcaster, Perez Hilton, has now commented on the movie trailer in his July 29 YouTube video. Hilton didn't seem too impressed by the trailer. He called out the movie, saying it looks like a "video game."
"James Cameron just released the trailer for his new film, Avatar: Fire and Ash. Did any of you watch the trailer for part three of Avatar that comes out at the end of this year? Um, it looks awful. It looks so bad. It looks like a freaking video game. Like, I don't want to watch a video game in the movie theater. Like, I want to watch a movie in the movie theater. Hard pass," Hilton said.
More about Avatar: Fire and Ash
Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is set to hit theaters on December 19 this year, brings a new clan into the story. Just like the second installment of the Avatar series, The Way of Water, introduced the aquatic Metkayina tribe of Pandora, the upcoming movie features a new Na'vi clan, the Ash People.
The clan is led by a fearsome antagonist named Varang. The new villain controls fire and plays havoc in the realm of Pandora. In Avatar: Fire and Ash, the Sully family and Metkayina tribe will come together to face Varang.
James Cameron hinted at the new characters and the new realm at the D23 event in 2024. During Disney's fan club event, the filmmaker provided a preview of what fans can expect from Avatar: Fire and Ash.
"It’s an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it’s also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before. We’re going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love. There are new characters; there's one especially we think you're going to love, or maybe I should say love to hate," Cameron said at the presentation.
He continued,
"And as always, you know, there are new cultures and settings and creatures and new biomes, and you'll see a lot more Pandora, the planet that you never saw before."
In Avatar: Fire and Ash, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña are returning as Jake Sully and Neytiri, respectively. Oona Chaplin will play Varang.
Before the public release of the trailer on July 28, it was exclusively released to CinemaCon attendees in April this year.
The Avatar series has remained one of the biggest commercial successes. The 2009 Avatar still stands as the highest-grossing movie worldwide. The 2022 The Way of Water is third on the list, following Avengers: Endgame. Both Avatar movies earned more than $2 billion in revenue. The fourth and fifth parts of the Avatar will be released in 2029 and 2031, respectively.
