If one wants the original cut, is it better to go for the 2005 two disc edition or the original in the snapper case? Both appear to be anamorphic. But 2005 is too close to the Warner DVD rot period and after losing so many Warner dual layer discs to rot, I wonder if the old snapper edition may be the safer bet?

Yes. The UHD stream is also dark. The latest restoration is the 2017 one. If you check the OP, it doesn't even say new, it says "previously restored". I'll credit Geoff D for advising that if you watch it, watch it in complete darkness.

I wonder if the 4K UHD will contain the extended cut as well...

Plus it doesn't have crapton of audio tracks. So BD-66 should be enough for a 3-hour movie.

Never say never. Perhaps with HDR the picture will be improved.

I never had any issue with any of Disney's 66GB discs unlike other studios with their 100GB discs, most notably Warner and Lionsgate. And you can even check the Sony or Panasonic threads on the hardware sub forum, and see people constantly complain about freezing in LOTR, Dune, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, etc... And people telling them that it will be fixed in the next software update but it never ever will, and it's time to put this into light and stop ignoring the that there's an issue with 100GB discs. Good for Disney for not falling for the populist decision and giving the consumer a reliable technology, I wish other studios would have done that.

Hopefully. I just grabbed a brand new copy of the 2009 Blu-ray from ebay. Always regret getting rid of that one after purchasing the 2017 release.

Once again: Avatar was released in full 1,78:1 (you know what it means, right?) aspect ratio on DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and it's available in such version on digital, including Disney+.

The question is: WHAT IMAX SCENES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Sad Sony noise. WB and Universal are also nowhere near Disney level bad.

Three hour movie that’s shot on digital is one thing to squeeze into a UHD66, but a three hour movie shot on film - with plenty of fine grain - is a different challenge. Even Fox broke their own no-triple-deckers rule when they released Braveheart on UHD outside the US.

The average bitrate for the whole transport stream inc audio and video will have to be ~50 Mb/s to fit Heat onto a UHD66. Not great, not terrible. But Disnee just seem to have the knack for making it work.

Hate to be pessimistic about this, but apply enough DNR then there be no more grain left to worry about! Hope Stinkey Mouse doesn't repeat the "Pirates of the Caribbean" debacle with one of my all-time favourites!
