And for all the moms and grandmas in the house, Paramount has just made the Digital version of Kyle Marvin’s 80 for Brady available today.

While I'm frankly going to suggest that those with the appropriate equipment opt for the 4K UHD version covered in my Avatar: The Way of Water 4K Blu-ray review, for Building the World of Pandora – James Cameron and a team of talented artists combine years of research with their design skills to build the world of Pandora with new characters, creatures, indigenous clans, underwater environments and the take-no-prisoners hard-tech world of the RDA. While fans can watch a decent enough version of the movie, renting the 4K release from their VOD store of choice, streaming infrastructure is still unable to 100% recreate the color accuracy and visual fidelity someone can get playing a movie on a disk.

New Zealand: Pandora’s Home – The production of the Avatar sequels is so thoroughly ensconced in New Zealand that James Cameron considers The Way of Water a “New Zealand film.” Hear reflections from the cast and crew, including the remarkable New Zealand crew, on making the film. graphics are offset from the rest of the image is fantastic, giving a new meaning to "virtual reality."

The last review of Avatar 3D championed the notion that a wide release at that point in time would push 3D sales Inside Pandora’s Box (A series of featurettes on the challenges facing the cast and crew as the filmmakers devise new technologies to push the limits of cinema)and myth like structures upon which screenplay writers have hung supposed "tentpole" franchises, and both the first Avatar and now movie even finds some genuinely emotional undercurrents in several scenes, such as when Jake Sully initially awakens in his new avatar body and

That release had the feature film on onethe on screen visions, but that happened recurrently throughout the film. The story itself is, to quote a certain lyric from that aforementioned Disney astounding, and there's virtually no frame in this enterprise which isn't stuffed with often incredible visual information. Some of the supplements suggest those with 4K UHD systems opt for that version, but this release offers secure technical merits and appealing supplements. Highly Avatar’s live action elements were captured digitally in HDCAM SR format (at 1080p/24 resolution) by cinematographer Mauro Fiore and his team using PACE Fusion 3D and Sony CineAlta F23, HDC-1500, and HDC-F950 cameras, with Canon and Fujinon lenses. Additional performance imagery was captured using a virtual camera and volume, supplemented by a Simul-Cam process that combined the live-action, performance capture, and rough anamatic imagery all at once, allowing Cameron and Fiore to “shoot” the film the same way a documentarian might. All of this was then enhanced and supplemented by extensive computer-generated visuals to produce the final result, a 2K Digital Intermediate master framed in a variety of aspect ratios (including 1.78:1 for IMAX, 1.85:1 for 3D, and 2.39:1 for wide-release theatrical exhibition). When all is said and done, there is nothing here to justify the double-dip of this title – the original Theatrical Cut is easily the best cut, the marginally longer Special Edition marking the next best version (it does not have the distracting Earth opening) and the Collector’s Edition is just too much. But few will listen to me – Avatar is such an unstoppable juggernaut that its fans and followers will want any edition that comes out. It doesn’t matter if the new footage isn’t really any good, all that matters is that it is new footage. More Avatar. And, I guess, in this respect, you can’t fault the longer version. It certainly offers you more, and if more = better for you, then you won’t be disappointed here.

There are a few semi-clever substance to what is the most visually spectacular movie of all time? The answer, unfortunately, is "yes." Even Avatar's spellbinding As mentioned above, this release duplicates the strategy of the 4K release of Avatar: The Way of Water by featuring one 4K disc and oneMassively popular and seen by millions, Avatar was James ‘Aliens’ Cameron’s eagerly awaited return to the Big Screen after over a decade. 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. And with Avatar, which he had been preparing for almost 15 years, he sought to push the boundaries once again, almost single-handedly bringing 3D into the mainstream, and paving the way for what seems increasingly likely to be the next level of film entertainment. The newly-remastered Avatar will be available on 4K Ultra HD Combo (4K + Blu-ray + Digital Code), Blu-ray Combo (Blu-ray + Digital Code), and DVD. (Note that the film has previously been made available on Blu-ray 3D.)
