The Avatar Blu-ray Release Thread

God damn....

I had forgotten how amazing this film is. It loses nothing not being in 3-D.

I think this movie will probably be my most rewatched film on my Blu-Ray rack.

This is Papa Dragon. Keep it high and tight people, I want to be home for supper.
Nothing's over while I'm still breathing.

You don't need an official review from this site. All one needs to do is read member reviews to know, Avatar is a great blu-ray.

Interesting. Some come in eco cases, some do not.

Got a sample of that annoying timeline popup I mentioned, used my camera phone so quality is garbage, apologies. Happens @ 0:12 and 1:16.

When me and my girlfriend saw this, we went to an old school non-stadium seat theater. Needless to say 3D was not an option and it was still an awesome film. I've been debating whether or not to get this today or hope for a sale in the fall when the ultimate edition is released. Since I have no interest in extras anymore I might have to go ahead and get this today. Decisions decisions...

Man, that is really weird.

I got my 2 Disc set at Target for $19.99 + tax. It contains a DVD digital copy too. Just out of curiosity, I went to Wal-mart which is only a mile away. They had the same 2 Disc set for $19.96. Wow I would have save 3 cents! Glad I got mine at Target though. That way, I rewarded them with a purchase for their getting competitive with wal-mart. Had I gone to Wal-mart first, I would have bought it there more than likely.

I watched it after I got home. I was blown away by the PQ and AQ. I'll give it my reference grade 5.0/5.0 for both. The AQ was just incredibly awesome. I have a 3 subwoofer setup. The LFE and low bass were shaking my home off its foundations. It's the best BD ever released as far as PQ and AQ. I give the movie a 5.0/5.0 too. I am half blooded native American. I definitely formed a bond with that movie as did my native American friends and relatives when we saw it in the theater.

There is a downside. The bad news is the subtitles. They are the most awful, deplorable, downright utterly disrespectful of the movie subtitles anyone could ever come up with. The subtitles are yellow and in large font. They can show up anywhere on the screen and just jump from one location to another during a scene. Very distracting to say the least. I use subtitles at night when I want to watch a movie late in the night without disturbing others in the house. I won't be watching Avatar like that though.

Still that doesn't change my rating:

Movie = 5.0/5.0
PQ = 5.0/5.0
AQ = 5.0/5.0
SF = N/A
Overall = 5.0/5.0

I haven't opened up yet picked it up at local Walmart on my way to work this morning and noticed on the cover it didn't mention anything about a digital copy like most of them do. Is the digital copy on the DVD version? Thanks for the review btw can't wait to get home and see it
