Where to start with Avatar

Three films so far, released in order, set in order, with no branches, no spin-offs and nothing hidden. What is worth knowing is not the order but the gaps: thirteen years passed between the first two, and each one runs well past three hours.

  1. 1
    Avatar (2009) Avatar

    Complete in itself and for over a decade the only one there was. Nothing before it, and its reputation as a film people forgot is worth testing for yourself.

  2. 2
    Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Avatar: The Way of Water

    Thirteen years later and it recaps almost nothing, so a rewatch of the first is genuinely useful rather than optional. It moves the family to the reefs and largely restarts the setting.

  3. 3
    Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Avatar: Fire and Ash

    Follows The Way of Water directly and closely enough that the two are better watched near each other. Three films in and you are current.

Then what? Two more are announced, for 2029 and 2031, and they are listed here but not counted until they arrive. There is nothing else: no series, no shorts, no spin-offs, which makes this one of the shortest franchises on the site despite being one of the largest at the box office.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
