One of the highly anticipated movies my youngest was interested in watching was 'Avatar 3' subtitled 'Fire and Ash'. I enjoyed it more than Avatar: The Way of Water, which was long-winded and less enjoyable than the first movie.
Although there were many aspects of Māori and Polynesian symbolism to appreciate, such as tattooing and the voice actors. They also demonstrated ideas for using their environmental resources to build shelters that adapt to their way of life.
This is my second favourite out of the trilogy so far, as it kept the storyline simple, although I wasn't so sure of the 'ash' aspect of it. However, it was neat to watch it with 3D glasses; it takes a little getting used to at first, but the 3D special effects definitely make the movie worth watching.
I recommend this movie for holiday viewing for anyone interested in the director James Cameron's Avatar franchise. It still speaks to me about colonisation and indigenous peoples trying to keep to their environmental beliefs as opposed to the colonisers trying to reap environmental resources for financial greed, power, and gain at the behest of the First Nations peoples but that's another blog...
