Is Avatar on Netflix?

The 2009 epic sci-fi film Avatar has retaken the honor of the highest-grossing film of all-time from Avengers: Endgame, and many subscribers are more than eager to find out if the visually stunning movie is available on Netflix.

The motion picture follows a paraplegic marine who is dispatched to the moon Pandora where he takes control of an Avatar resembling the Na’vi—the aliens inhabiting the lush habitable moon. He falls in love with Neytiri, and the two must find a way to stop the damage humans are causing from mining unobtanium. Starring in the film are Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver.

Along with being the highest-grossing film of all time, the feature has also garnered significant attention from the awards community. Avatar received nine Academy Award nominations and took home three of those Oscars solidifying its legacy as a must-watch picture.

The film was successful that the studio greenlit a smorgasbord of sequels with Avatar 2 and 3 slated to release on December 16, 2022 and December 20, 2024 respectively. The fun doesn’t stop there, as more follow-ups are scheduled to come out on December 18, 2026 and December 22, 2028.

Is Avatar available on Netflix?

Now is the perfect time to revisit the magnificent 162-minute film while everyone waits for the Na’vi Cinematic Universe to unfold. But the question that remains, at least for Netflix subscribers, is whether or not the Oscar-winning film is available to stream on Netflix.

The streaming service has a plethora of exceptional titles within its impressive library of content. Unfortunately, Avatar is not one of those films that is available on Netflix.

While this is obviously a bummer, the streaming service has plenty of other sci-fi options for fans to enjoy. The Midnight Sky, Skylines, Space Sweepers, Outside the Wire and more are ready to watch on the popular streaming service.
