Everyone agrees that Avatar is one of the best looking movies of all time, theres some argument on the strength of the story but an essential film to have in your collection.
Ive heard however this release will apparantly contain nothing but the movie that was shown in the Cinema and a 'Special Edition' version with extras and extended footage will be released nearer christmas (im looking forward to Mighty Ape confirming this or not). If my sources are correct this is disgusting money grabbing from the studio and an insult. If indeed the case id just rent this release if you didnt see it in the cinema and wait for the SE version. But I hope im wrong.

I have seen this movie in 3D and also in 2D 3 times, when I got my Blu-Ray disk I was gob smacked! The sheer clearness of the movie is amazing. This is one movie that you have to get on Blu-Ray!

Seen it at the cinema? Haven't seen it at the cinema? Regardless of which question you answer this is indeed a quality movie and really does look spectacular in hi-def. Immerse yourself in Pandora and enjoy the story which is Avatar.

Although I found this movie stunning in 3D in the cinema, I found watching the blu-ray was much clearer, and less of a strain for the eyes. I personally prefer watching it in 2D.

The lack of special features can be considered a bonus, it left the entire disk free for the best possible quality of image.

If you are patient, there is a special edition coming out at the end of the year which will contain additional footage, and documentaries etc, but if you can't wait, you certainly won't be disappointed with this minimalistic release.

Definitely watch more than once
