‘Avatar’ Cast Shares Top Tips for Enduring a 3-Hour Movie (Exclusive)

The latest sequel in the Avatar franchise, James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash,’ now showing in cinemas, boasts a runtime of approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes, matching the duration of his acclaimed film ‘Titanic’. The extensive length of the movie prompts the question of how to comfortably sit through such an extended viewing experience.

During the premiere of ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ in Los Angeles on December 1st, the cast members, including Stephen Lang, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Dileep Rao, and Bailey Bass, offered their personal strategies for remaining seated without the aid of an intermission.

At 73 years old, Lang, known for his role as Miles Quaritch in the Avatar series, advised, “You know what the strategy is? You hit the head early, right? You keep the Diet Coke to a minimum.” Meanwhile, Champion, aged 21, revealed that he had limited his water intake leading up to the premiere, fearing the need for a mid-movie bathroom break.

Bliss, who portrays Tuk, the youngest child of the Sully clan, shared her approach, stating, “I do not drink much leading up to a major premiere for a long movie like Fire and Ash.” She expressed her dedication to fully experiencing the film without interruptions, immersing herself in the storyline and characters.

Rao, who plays Dr. Max Patel, cautioned against consuming large beverages during the movie, emphasizing the importance of avoiding the urge to use the restroom. He highlighted the immersive nature of Cameron’s films, noting that once engrossed in the narrative, the need to take breaks diminishes significantly.

Bass, portraying Tsiryea of the Metkayina clan, suggested that viewers should visit the restroom before the movie begins and emphasized that the action-packed nature of ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ made the viewing experience feel swift and engaging, comparable to the thrill of a visit to an amusement park.

The cast members’ insights offer valuable advice for moviegoers looking to navigate lengthy films successfully by preparing in advance and staying engaged throughout the screening. ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is currently showing in cinemas, inviting audiences to embark on an immersive cinematic journey through the captivating world of Pandora.
