Visually stunning. Follows on from the previous film (a little recap at the start). In this one some Navii are bad!!! Loved the 3D effects – especially in the water scenes. Satisfying conclusion. Worth full 3D price. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash> LoR annual holiday gathering.
