and that the Heart of the Ocean blue (get it?) diamond was an ancient artifact from Pandora. It's gonna be the MacGuffin of the final film.

But not before the Weyland Corporation invents the time displacement equipment needed to send a terminator back in time to steal the diamond before the Na'vi find it first.

Remember, there isn't a Fox Home Video department any longer to catch the Disney Home Video screw ups.

Sigh. Stop it lol.

The 4K pre-order on Sanity is gone and is now a DVD placeholder.

Does anyone know if AVATAR (the first one) has a 4k disc on the horizon?

Rumored for this spring

The uhd produced by Disney is too bad. The audio is extremely compressed. I bought soul, raya, bad audio,

Eh, I can think of worse ways to spend my weekend.

Wonder if they'll do something similar for this one as well.

The theatrical cut already replaced the word 'a$$hole' with 'b-tthole' for multiple uses.

Chances of this getting imax ratio on disc?

Probably 100% considering the only way to see the first film on disc is at 1.78:1.

Unknown. Disney typically only has IMAX ratio on 3D discs (which are only released abroad these days) and Disney+, but Cameron being involved puts everything up in the air. For all we know, we'll get a BD-100 with IMAX and a North American 3D release, or the same BD-66 with neutered audio as usual.

IMAX version is cropped. Original ratio is 1.85:1.

The Disney movies that have D+ exclusive IMAX ratio were shot with “IMAX-certified” cameras. Those 1.90 scenes were exclusive to IMAX cinemas.

With Avatar the movie is simply as tall as whatever screen it’s shown on. I saw it in scope on scope screens, but also 1.85 on Dolby, IMAX and standard RealD screens. It’s not exclusive so I’m expecting the home video version to be around 16:9 so that it fills the screen up as much as possible.

Well actually the OAR is Scope 2.39 but the Widescreen versions open up to give you more "Vista" and 3D IMAX-like immersiveness.

Such a gorgeously looking film! When I went to see it in IMAX 3-D, I thought to myself - okay, so what would they show me what I have not already seen. Threee and a half hours later I had to pick my jaw up from the floor... Even HFR scenes were not that distracting (although I hate HFR with all my heart!).

But the story, man... if only Cameron would have invested one-tenth of the creativity he had invested in visuals in the story. So many years in development, and this is what he came up with?! You don't got this, bro...

The only significance this has for me is now there will potentially (finally?) be a street date for The Abyss. We just had to get Avatar 2 out of the way.

Patient Leech · 02-06-2023, 04:42 PM

I'm looking forward to getting my grubby little Pandora paws on this.

So, the standard showings were REALLY cropped? Cause I'm pretty sure they were 2.2:1 or damn close to it.

I saw the movie in 2.39 and nothing looked overly-cropped or cramped. I suspect Cameron framed the film for scope and the other versions are just opened up on the top and bottom.

Yeah, I did too. I mean, I know it was still framed well (the man knows what he's doing), it's just I'd rather have that sweet 16:9.

I hope that's what the blu-ray will be.
