Avatar (DVD + Blu-ray) [2017]

Product Information

Maybe it's the fact that Cameron seems torn between his two loves--awesome destructive gizmos and flower-power message mongering--that makes Avatar 's pursuit of its point ultimately uncertain. High definition home video enthusiasts—myself included—collectively held their mouths agape in awe when Avatar debuted on Blu-ray in April. And the atmospheric effects, combined with the dynamic cinematography, do work to give the image a surprisingly good 3D-dimensional feel, for a 2D-only presentation. In addition to DTS-HD track, audio is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.

And its IMAX 3D theatrical presentation is nothing less than a near irresistible roller coaster ride. After he falls in love with the tribal elder’s daughter, his loyalties start to shift and soon Sully is doing all he can to find a peaceful solution without military intervention. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.The surrounds get a full workout and are in constant use, providing a great atmosphere which immerses you in this other-world environment. And none of them addresses the plot hole of what happened to all the other Avatars seen at the beginning of the film. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). Irrespective of cut (and, for what it’s worth, I’ll reiterate the fact you probably all already own the best cut) Avatar is little more than an entertaining blockbuster without its extra dimension, and, honestly, 16 minutes’ longer probably now just makes the movie an even hour too long, rather than just 45 minutes.

Unfortunately, without the full 3D effect, however good the movie looks in 2D, it still stands out as a walking, talking cliché. I had no particular inclination to see it again in the near future, but I am intrigued as to whether the Extended Edition could prove worthy of a recommendation to revisit this already over-long monolith. What’s important is the filmmaking technology on display here, much of it (by no surprise) the work of the effects team at WETA Digital – the same people who dazzled us all with The Lord of the Rings films. 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! An ex-Marine finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms.This section of the second disc is quite expansive, split into numerous Effects Tests, some Screen Tests and various VFX Progressions. And given that the visual space is a uniquely fantastical (and somewhat outrageous) environment, that is a truly impressive achievement. It’s a blunt and grating approach to passing social commentary on the US and its ‘ Team America’-style approach to policing the world, and, this somewhat pretentious preaching, coupled with the Braveheart-styled clichéd dialogue and ‘rousing’ speeches did not work on any level. Let me say it plainly: I think this is the best looking presentation of Avatar you could ask for on a single BD disc. As a devoted fan, I just had to get this Collectors Edition Blu-ray edition to add to my collection.

suggest those with 4K UHD systems opt for that version, but this release offers secure technical merits and appealing supplements.Pandora's Next Generation (HD; 10:47) does similar introductory service for some of the newer folks.
