After waiting 13 years between Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water<\/a>, the three years that have passed between the latter flick and Avatar: Fire and Ash feels like a walk in the park. Like its predecessors, the 2025 movie release<\/a> was expected to be quite the long watch, as one cannot simply explore Pandora within a standard two-hour time frame. But now Fire and Ash\u2019s official runtime has been revealed, and even by the standards of a Cameron movie, it\u2019s pretty lengthy.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll definitely want to make sure you use the bathroom prior to sitting down for Avatar: Fire and Ash at the theater and not drink a lot of soda as it\u2019s playing. The movie is listed on AMC Theatres<\/a> as being three hours and 15 minutes long, i.e. just shy of 200 minutes. Yeah, that\u2019s a lot! So how does Fire and Ash\u2019s runtime compare to James Cameron<\/a>\u2019s other movies? Here\u2019s a breakdown of the theatrical runtimes of his feature directorial efforts, from least to greatest:<\/p>\n

Piranha II: The Spawning – 94 minutesThe Terminator – 107 minutesAliens and Terminator 2 – 137 minutesThe Abyss – 140 minutesTrue Lies – 141 minutesAvatar – 162 minutesAvatar: The Way of Water – 192 minutesTitanic and Avatar: Fire and Ash – 195 minutes<\/p>\n

There you have it: Avatar: Fire and Ash is tied with Titanic<\/a> as James Cameron\u2019s longest movie, meaning if it was being released on VHS, you\u2019d need to watch it on two tapes. That\u2019s quite an undertaking, though not one much bigger than Avatar: The Way of Water. Now I wonder if Cameron might try to outdo his 1997 epic romantic disaster movie and make either Avatar 4 or Avatar 5<\/a> his longest movie yet.<\/p>\n

At least Avatar fans can take comfort knowing they\u2019ll be getting their money\u2019s worth when they go to see Fire and Ash next month. Taking place one year after the events of The Way of Water, the threequel will follow Jake, Neytiri and their children still grappling with the death of Neteyam<\/a>. Simultaneously, they\u2019ll clash with the aggressive Ash People tribe, led by Oona Chaplin\u2019s Varang. As if all that wasn\u2019t enough, Varang has also allied with Colonel Miles Quaritch, who, along with many of his soldiers in the first Avatar movie, was resurrected in The Way of Water as a Recombinant.<\/p>\n

Avatar: Fire and Ash opens in theaters on December 19. Get up to speed ahead of time by streaming the first two Avatar movies with your Disney+ subscription<\/a>, and relish that you can pause them whenever you choose for bathroom and snack breaks.<\/p>\n
