It’s nice to finally understand a plot which is only hinted at in the final cut, but it does not necessarily enhance the characters in any significant way. It is NOT perfect, however, despite the fact that the film is presented on a BD-50 with no other extras.

And the really clever forward-planners will just wait until they are fully 3D equipped and watch Avatar the only way that it should be seen – in 3D. Having already set new standards in terms of special effects with the tremendous Terminator 2, he did much the same with the much lesser film, Titanic. But in the meantime, if you haven’t got Avatar already, and are a few years away from full 3D conversion, you could do worse than picking up this near-definitive release and gorging on the extra material.

Honestly, it was clearly an example of the ‘next step’ in CG use, the potential being that actors could continue to play (sometimes considerably) younger characters well into the twilight era of their careers.

Despite all fan concerns that this new, longer Avatar cut would not stand up as well on Blu-ray as its predecessor, the reality is that they are indiscernible. Jake Sully, a paraplegic marine, is dispatched to join the outreach program, ostensibly to help them with their work, but with the secret agenda of getting an inside look at their camp so that the military attack can be more decisive.

I still think the only way to really rate this movie is by seeing it in 3D – Avatar will go down in film history only because of its success pioneering the format – but if you can’t wait, then this is now the new definitive edition to own. As far as I'm aware, the intermediary "Special Edition" doesn't contain footage or have any changes that aren't also included in the "Collector's Extended Cut. If you want to read more into those comparisons, then I strongly recommend you check out that review, but in brief summary I concluded that the movie made for one hell of a High Definition title – arguably the best looking title that has ever been released on the format – with demo-quality video and audio. Disc 1 contains all three versions of the movie, a special chapter menu with Direct Access to New/Additional Scenes, and a BD-Live link (more on that in the next section).A paraplegic Marine named Jake (Sam Worthington) acts through a 9-foot-tall avatar that allows him to roam the planet and pass as one of the Na'vi, the blue-skinned, large-eyed native people who would very much like to live their peaceful lives without the interference of the visitors.

every facet of the production, from the germination of Cameron's first ideas for the script all the way through to the film's blockbusting release. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. Pandora's Next Generation (HD; 10:47) does similar introductory service for some of the newer folks. James Cameron felt the need to revisit the film with a new "Extended Collector's Edition," and it's my duty to compare it against the original version and inform you that the addition of a few extra minutes has miraculously turned a mediocre movie into the most stunning masterpiece in the history of cinema.Some of the footage originally presented as a flashback in the theatrical cut is arranged linearly here. Integrating the virtual camera with the live action camera to see both images on top of one another. I have no way of knowing whether this content will remain static or be updated (or replaced) over time. Literally take you to another world, where you get lost running across the floating rocks and diving on the building-sized fluorescent palm leaves; lost amidst the beautiful, disturbingly skinny blue Na’vi, and – in many cases – even wonder what you might look like if you had your own Avatar (there are enough apps to find out these days!
