      3d is a stupid gimmick. It doesn't work. IRL, whatever you focus on is what's not blurry. If you want to look around a scene in a movie, focus doesn't change. The focus is forced to one thing. It just doesn't work.

In the special edition he's on the ground in pain and Jake Sully has to kill him. Such an unnecessary scene and takes away from the emotional climax that focused on Jake and Neytiri. Cameron was correct in taking it out. The audience has seen this kind of death scene in dozens of films where the hero has to do a mercy kill for his friend and former rival. It's extremely cliched.

      When I watched the Theatrical version in the theater for the 1st time, I was actually surprised they didn't give Tsu Tey's death any attention. I was impressed with the basic tragedy of it.
      When the Special Edition version came out, I was not surprised that they filmed this scene and I cringed as I was watched it. But to each his own. I don't think it ruins the ending or anything. It just didn't work for me and it didn't work for Cameron. His instincts were right to cut it.

    The 3D is the best way to watch this. James Cameron has helped us consumers by making the 3D full frame (no black bars top and bottom) and increasing the bit rate by spreading the 3D over 2 discs instead of one plus putting the extras on a stand-alone disc. Superb.

      @phillipbanes5484 Well the problem is a lot of times these days, extended or director's cuts end up being much better than the theatrical version that was released. I think Avatar is one of them but there are many others, like ZS's JL. The theatrical version is widely panned and people were heavily petitioning for the Snyder cut to be released and it was. It was also the case with just about every other Snyder movie as well, like Sucker Punch, Watchmen and BvS. Then there's LOTR.
      Of course it isn't the case with every movie but yeah in a perfect world, we would see in theaters what the definitive version ends up being. Unfortunately a lot of times it just isn't the case.

    Hey Jeff, I’d like to know how your slipcovers are always so perfectly crisp with no dents or damages? They get shipped to you that way? I go all over town trying to find a perfect condition copy of every movie I buy and still can’t find them that nice most of the time. How are your movies packaged and who ships to you is something I’ve always wondered? All Amazon does for me is send me smashed and damaged movies, they are not even an option for me anymore.

    No one noticed the slight change made at the end of the movie? In the older versions, Giovanni Ribisi's character just looks at Jake and he uses his head to indicate he needs to move on to the shuttle. In the one I just saw on Disney Plus, he now comes up and says "this isn't over, you know that, right?" Not sure if it was a cut scene or created because of the sequel.

    Sorry, mate. I love Avatar.
    And this whole Pocahontas thing is silly criticism. Every movie has a screenplay based on a formula that's similar to a thousand other movies.
    e.g: Air Force One is Die Hard in the skies, Joker steals from Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, etc.
    Yet people attack only Avatar using the Pocahontas thing as if every movie they admire is ground breakingly original. I think it's just that cinephiles are slightly snobbish and they don't want to be seen admiring a simple story watched by the masses. They have no problem telling the world about some B movie guilty pleasure they have but admitting that Avatar is good seems a stretch because they might be judged as shallow by snobs who jerk off to Goodfellas, which is just another gangster movie that is dull whenever Joe Pesci is NOT on screen. (Come at me, snobs.)

      They were digitally converted to partial 48 fps for the theatrical version, but 4k Blu-ray and 4k in general has no specification for 48 fps support. The specs do call for 30, 50, and 60, besides 24 and 25. These are both in 24 fps.

    As somebody who loves HFR I wish Cameron had chosen 60 instead of 48fps. 4K Blu Ray can’t do 48fps and I loved the HFR scenes in Way of Water and it’s a shame the HFR version of the Film will become lost forever like the HFR versions of The Hobbit Films. I’m just glad I saw Way Of Water in 3D HFR 3 times.
