Gab & Dad review Avatar

Why no Special Features? Cameron says for the DVD to have the best 2D visuals, they had to free up space on the disc. There's probably an 'Ultimate' Edition coming in November.

has cameron included the deleted scenes as well???Or is he planning to include it in future?

[GabnDad]

@Ronnie11789 The DVD has NOTHING extra! The theatrical re-release in August is suppossed to be an extended cut, and then the next DVD release (Xmas) will probably include deleted scenes.

Im really dissapointed about the dvd. I mean NO SPECIAL FEATURES??????? REALLY?????????? Its such an awsum movie and it has no dvd features????

[GabnDad]

@mryoshifreak I know. They said they need the extra space on the DVD to make sure the visuals are as high-end as possible. More likely they're just trying to milk two purchases out of people - one on "Earth Day", and then one for the extras-packed edition out in November. Plus it's being rereleased to theatres in August, so... LOL

(great review!!!) youre completely right about the story but you've got to consider that this is also a bussines; if things had gotten too complicated it would have reduced its audience, and this is an over $300 million movie; it needs to have broad appeal

and when you compare it too other over $200M travesties like GI Joe or the Transformers 2 released 2009, Avatar is just on another level

Zoe Saldana was amazing; i think this is the first complete CG character to give real human emotion

[GabnDad]

Agree!

(sigh) Yet another "it must suck because it's beautiful" review of Avatar. She's stupid because she's gorgeous.....etc.

Nobody needs to see the movie in order to conclude the "Dances with the Wolves" parallel. It's pretty obvious from the trailer. But the way this -admittedly repeated story- was told in Avatar is beautiful.

OH... and even if it was a no brainer C-movie, the visuals alone carry it. This is not the case with Avatar, THIS WAS the most complete movie experience I've ever seen.

True the story is derivative and didnt particularly bring anything new to the table. it IS essentially Pocahontas of the future.

But i still was able to get lost in the story and feel for the characters, resulting in my huge satisfaction having seen it. i love it. I think in the end if a person is able to emotionally feel like as i did, it doesnt matter how unoriginal the plot it. it still rocks.

But of course, that is my opinion, and not all people are affected equally.

I've paid £1.49 for this.

I'd give this movie a D. It was visually interesting for about 20 minutes then it was just more purple than I could take! Seriously, the 3D just doesn't do much for me and the story I thought should win some sort of "most derivative script" award. Wasn't this movie better when it was Pocahontas? Or Dances with Wolves? The dialogue was horrible, as Dad rightly points out, and absolutely leaden with political correctness. Disagree with Gab about S.Weaver and the other actress. Both were boring. :)

@GabnDad Ahh disappointed...thanks a lot though

[Warren111able]

L'avatar c'est cool, ok ! Mais on devret aussi savoir que : Tous ceux ki sont riches deviendront pauvres, les pauvres deviendront riches. Et personne n'a pas la machine ni la patate pour change ça ! Car, ils sont en train de devenir majoritaire, et ça, sera plus beau qu'AVATAR!
