Avatar: Fire and Ash
In the wake of the devastating war against the RDA and the loss of their eldest son, Jake Sully and Neytiri face a new threat on Pandora: the Ash People, a violent and power-hungry Na'vi tribe led by the ruthless Varang. Jake's family must fight for their survival and the future of Pandora in a conflict that pushes them to their emotional and physical limits.
What to know before choosing
Escaping means asking a film to supply an elsewhere solid enough that you do not have to work at believing in it. It is not a question of genre — science fiction, fantasy and adventure manage it equally well — but of density: you need a world, not just a set. That is the criterion this list is built on.
Past two and a half hours a film no longer asks for an evening but for a commitment: you do not put it on in the background, you do not start it at midnight, and interrupting it wastes half of it. What these films give back is the one thing a short running time cannot — the time to become attached. The best-rated films in the catalog are overwhelmingly of this length, and that is no accident: audiences forgive longueurs to a film that took them somewhere. Check the clock before you start.
