Sukumar’s review of Avatar: Fire and Ash
Sukumar began his review by praising Cameron as a filmmaker and saying, “James Cameron…he’s from Pandora. For directors, he’s an Avatar. We’re just humans.”
Stating that it is ‘extremely difficult’ to tell a story as effectively as the Hollywood director did with Avatar: Fire and Ash, Sukumar added, “I feel the entire family can come together to watch this film. Three hours, seventeen minutes just flew away. I watched the film alone, but I didn’t feel lonely at all. I felt transported to Pandora, to a different world. I didn’t even notice who was or wasn’t around me.”
Sukumar also compared Avatar 3 to Telugu films and said, “It has as much emotion as Telugu movies do. Every frame has that much emotion. The emotion between the characters is always flowing. The main characters, Jake, Neytiri or Varang, or Spider…I was constantly immersed in them. Some moments even made me tear up. This movie delivers a proper theatrical experience.”
The Tollywood director ended his review by asking movie buffs not to miss it in theatres, reasoning, “James Cameron’s films aren’t meant to be watched on TV. The visuals are meant for the big screen. You won’t get this experience anywhere except for the theatres.”
