The Avatar franchise returns to movie screens this Friday with Avatar: Fire and Ash. The third film in director James Cameron’s billion-dollar franchise is sure to be visually spectacular. But will it prove to be a story worth telling and—as I’ll admit I’ve had some difficulty doing with previous entries in the franchise—remembering?
But that’s not the only film coming out this week!
From the immaculately rendered world of Pandora we travel to the ancient Kingdom of Israel for Angel Studios’ David. This PG, animated musical tells the story of David’s rise to power, from his confrontation with Goliath to his crowning as king. It’s interspersed with songs performed by Christian music heavyweights like Phil Wickham and Lauren Daigle.
For a spoiler-free discussion of these two upcoming films, I sat down with Paul Asay, Bob Hoose and Kennedy Unthank. Did these movies work? What were the positives? And what content concerns should parents be aware of before whisking the family off to the theater?
You can watch our full conversation below. We hope you enjoy it!
