"It's been 16 years since Avatar introduced audiences to Pandora's forest-dwelling Na'vi, three since we met their coastal brethren in Avatar: The Way Of Water. Now, it's time to meet the mountain Na'vi known as "ash people." Their tribe decimated by volcanic eruptions, a cataclysm their goddess Eywa did nothing to alleviate, the ash people are aggrieved, aggressive and, unlike the tribes in Pandora's low-lying regions, willing to embrace technology."

Avatar: Fire and Ash introduces Pandora's mountain Na'vi, the 'ash people,' whose tribe was decimated by volcanic eruptions and who embrace technology, creating an opening for human antagonist Miles Quaritch. The film delivers nonstop, eye-popping action across three and a quarter hours, though some sequences feel repetitive after recent sequels. Is This Thing On? follows Alex (Will Arnett) as he turns his impending divorce into stand-up material, finding unexpected success and personal reinvention on stage while his wife Tess (Laura Dern) also navigates change. A separate film presents a harrowing Gaza family story using real phone recordings of a five-year-old girl's calls for help. Additional releases include Zootopia 2, Wicked: For Good, and Hamnet.
