Hello!
I was very excited to see that Avatar is already
available today on DVD.
What versions are out there??
Will there be with glasses a 3D Version?? (I have a 12' foot screen and would love it!) Movie party anyone?>
Will the extras be anything exciting?
What goodies besides a doll come with the various sets?
Sounds like I may have to get a blueray player just for this!!!!!!!
Let's talk AVATAR!!!!!!!
Best Wishes
Tom
Today? Where? All of the advertisements I have seen have said midnight release.
See niennumb's post below, he says it best!

It's still in the 3D IMAX theaters around here. I think I'll go see that instead.
That's weird to be a movie release date on a Thrusday, typically movies release on Tuesdays and games release on thursdays.
But the Ultimate edition is said to be released in November
It's released on Thursday because the 22nd is Earth Day.
May be poor rated due to special features, but they wanted to release it NOW while the iron was hot.

This is a basic release with minimal menus and no big features, but fully utilizing the space of the disc to present the film in the best quality it can be for Blu-Ray.
In the interview they go on to explain that November will see the "Pandora" box set or something (official name pending) will be an ALL-NEW features (not on the net previously released) and expected to be 4-discs more centralized for the Blu-Ray folks. Additionally they are working for the next 5-6 months on rendering additional scenes for the release, but they do say THIS one is Cameron's Director's cut. The extension of additional scenes is more for the fans.
They waited a few days (instead of the usual Tuesday release) to release it on Earth Day.
you do know that the info is available everywhere on the net, right?
I pre-ordered through Amazon and got shipping confirmation today. I'm really looking forward to watching this on Blu-Ray.
I'm thinking of getting the stripped bare DVD version now and then the good Blu-Ray edition when it's released in November.
Does this movie really need anymore "added" to it??
As long as it's some good character development into it.JoMamma_Smurf said:
I wasn't so sure Lord of the Rings needed more to it than the already steep time length it was, but MAN I loved the extended editions!
Basic edition now and bigger, more extended edition later in the year. I would guess you would need a 3-D TV for the eventual 3-D version. I mean if they can put out a 3-D version with glasses packed in that works on any TV, what's the point of these 3-D TV's that are now coming out? Personally I want to see it again and will probably pick this version up anyway. You know this will be released many times over the next few years. It's the biggest movie of all time - money wise that is.
I hope Family Guy does a spoof on it...

I'll get it today - and in November when it comes out again I probably won't pony up another $30 bucks for 6 minutes of extended scenes.
Seems to be an overall resounding WOW factor to the PQ on this Blu-Ray:

My understanding is as Neinnumb says. This is a 'get it out there now' version pretty much sans extras. There is no 3D at this time. I was under the impression that was coming in November in the box set or along side it or something.
I can't imagine it'd be a 3D with packed in glasses. The way I heard it was a 3D blu-ray meaning you'll need a compatible TV, BR player, and glasses.
I read an interview with cameron. This is just the movie - apparently he had an agreement with the studio. If the movie makes over a billion than he could do what he wanted. So he wanted a movie that would basically start as soon as you popped it into your player. No trailers, nothing... just BAM - movie.cboath said:
The set in November will have 6 more minutes of extra footage that they're putting out there. He said that he doesn't have any real other special features but I think that's bull. I mean, there's got to be bloopers or something...
The november set will not have 3d as cameron is waiting for the technology to settle down first before he puts out a 3d version.
What kind of bloopers would you have for CGI characters? The best I'd figure would be people in the ADR booth tripping over their lines.
All motion was capture live off the actual actors. Even facial expressions. They were able to see actual low end animation on set. They could easily do falls and gaffes and things like that. Depends on the level of presentation you want to give them, though. If you want finished film look, it'll take a lot of time and money. However, when the movie pulls in 2 billion, you've got money to burn....
I might be getting a 65 inch 3d ready Panasonic, when will this be out in 3d????

I'm likely getting a 54" Panny plasma set too. Sadly, it only comes with ONE set of glasses. You have to buy others. The 65" VT25s won't be out until the summer, though, so I wouldn't sweat it.
