Is ‘Avatar’ Streaming on HBO Max or Netflix?

The year is 2009, you’ve just seen James Cameron’s Avatar on the big screen for the very first time, and you’re convinced it’s the greatest cinematic achievement since King Kong climbed the Empire State Building.

Cut to five years later: You’re watching the movie for the third time, in syndication on FX, while you’re visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving. Suddenly, the storyline feels a little racist. Those blue people look kind of silly. And don’t even get you started on that bizarre, tail intertwining sex scene.

Don’t you worry. You can finally recapture the magic and relive the Avatar glory days, because 20th Century Studios is releasing Avatar in theaters this week, ahead of the release of Avatar: The Way of the Water, which is scheduled to release in theaters on December 16, 2022.

But if you really want to make James Cameron mad, you can also go ahead and rewatch Avatar (2009) in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how.
