is going to be thoroughly rewarded. I've just spent the weekend with this new three-disc release, and I'm here to report that it's as exhaustive,I always blamed a lot of the acting issues on the talent, namely, Sam Worthington. The 2009/2010 go-to guy for action hero leads, he is generic as hell, and, whilst a stronger lead may not have completely saved the movie’s clichéd approach, it would certainly have made this a more interesting ride. Supporting him we had everybody from Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel Moore, Giovanni Ribisi and Stephen Lang (on the human front); with Zoe Saldana, Wes Studi and CCH Pounder as the Na’vi aliens. Both Weaver and Joel Moore had Avatar counterparts as well (the vessels used to integrate with the Na’vi) but I have to say that some of the best performances – I’m looking at you Zoe – came from the Na’vi CG creatures. Unfortunately, whether largely because of the lead actor, or whether due to the distinct mediocrity of the performances in general, the cast/characters simply do not come together to make a group of people who you truly care about. More from Pandora's Box – Additional featurettes that highlight special teams within the production Released: 26th June 2023. Avatar: The Way of Water (hmv Exclusive) Limited Edition 3D Blu-ray Steelbook Capturing Avatar is a mammoth four-part Documentary which runs – in total – at a whopping 100 minutes in length. It takes you on a James Cameron-led voyage through the entire production, from inception through to the completion of the work in post. In the first section they talk about breaking new ground in technological terms in many of Cameron’s movies, and explain that Avatar was the most complicated project that he had ever undertaken. Cameron says the film’s basis is in his childhood ideas, the fact that they had to wait for technology to be at a level where the film was capable of being shot, and explains the massive undertaking that it was, looking at the concept art, the script variations, the effects progressions and the motion capture work. It’s particularly interesting to see how they used colours and motifs in nature to create the alien life, and of course a great deal of time is spent looking at the Na’vi themselves. There’s input from many of the production crew, including Stan Winston himself. For sixteen years, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his wife Neyteri (Zoe Saldana) have lived peacefully on Pandora with their Na’vi children. Peace can only last for just so long. When the RDA forces return, they’re not there to strip-mine unobtanium but to terraform and colonize all of Pandora. Led by the Recombinant Na'vi avatar clone of Mile Quaritch (Stephen Lang), a team of lethal resurrected RDA mercs is on the hunt for Jake and his family to halt a revolt before it even starts. Fearing another bloody conflict, Jake takes his family to live with a tribe of the seafaring Metkayina hoping to restore their once-peaceful lives. But Quaritch is hungry for revenge and ready for war.

Horner's score veers quite closely into Titanic territory at times—during one motif I can practically hear Celine Dion singing "Near, far…"—but it's has effectively gone down the crapper.

intricacy of the world that Cameron and his collaborators at WETA have created. Watching the behind-the-scenes materials has given me a new Scoring Avatar – Composer James Horner and James Cameron discuss how Avatar’s score was grounded in the familiar while evoking a breathtaking new world. Despite all fan concerns that this new, longer Avatar cut would not stand up as well on Blu-ray as its predecessor, the reality is that they are indiscernible. The first release basically set the benchmark for the best video presentation possible for a Blu-ray release, and still probably retains that standard, but – according to Cameron himself – the attempt to provide such quality had one big side-effect: it meant that the disc could store nothing but the film itself. Now if we are to believe him, then there surely isn’t any room to accommodate a further 16 minutes of re-mastered Deleted Footage (each minute apparently cost a million Dollars to render and integrate), as is present on the Extended Cut. So what we have here is not technically exactly the same presentation as on the previous disc, it is a marginally lower bit-rate, now making room for the extra footage. But in reality, however, you can’t tell the difference between them – this looks just as good as the previous release, and is also top demo material. becomes one with nature, and betrays his own kind" trope. It may sound trivial, but nearly everything I dislike about the film can be summed up in User’s Guide for Viewing Avatar Scenes with Unfinished Shots – A tutorial on the different types of unfinished shots seen throughout the deleted material.
