Avatar 3 Fire and Ash picks up weeks after Neteyam’s death in the previous movie, with the Sully family dealing with deep grief on Pandora. Jake Sully feels tired of the constant danger to his loved ones, while Neytiri builds a strong hatred for all humans, and Lo’ak carries heavy guilt over losing his brotherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash.
The story opens with Lo’ak flying over Pandora’s forests and oceans in a bittersweet moment that highlights his unresolved pain from Neteyam’s deathhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1R77mUnI_4. Jake starts to question their faith in Eywa, the planet’s life force, as the family hides from threats.
Soon, the Sullys get captured by the RDA, the human colonizers led by tough figures like Quaritch and Ardmore. Norm and Max, the scientists, check Spider’s body at High Camp and find his cells changed by a Pandora organism. This could let humans breathe the air there and even grow queues to link with local creatureshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash.
Neytiri recovers from her injuries and sneaks into the RDA base on her own. Ian grabs a bulldozer to bust Jake out of a glass prison. Spider uses himself as a shield since the RDA wants him alive for his research value, helping Jake escape with Neytiri on her ikran flying mounthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash.
The Ash People, a fierce new Na’vi tribe, enter the mix as key antagonists. Quaritch links up with them and gets tortured through a neural bond by their leader, Vang. He gives in and shows them how to fire human guns, making the Ash People even deadlierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1R77mUnI_4.
Tuk and Spider help Kiri connect to Eywa, who sends Pandora’s wildlife to smash the RDA ships. Tan’ok takes out Scoresby, and Kiri uses her queue to overpower Vang, scaring her off and saving Neytiri. A mighty Toruk then wipes out the RDA flagship in a big magnetic blast, ending Ardmorehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash.
In quieter family moments, Natiri gets a new child to replace the one she lost. Jake tells Lo’ak he trusts him fully. Kir steps up to protect Natiri with the line, “Get away from my mom, you bitch,” in a nod to classic Cameron stylehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1R77mUnI_4.
The third act turns rough for the Sulllys as dangers pile up from all sides. Loose ends hang like Quaritch surviving, Vang escaping, the RDA rebuilding, and hints of bigger threats from Kerry and humanity’s plans for Pandorahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1R77mUnI_4.
