Having been a science fiction fan for over 70 years I was curious to see what this movie would bring to the genre. Frequently movies that are hyped to the extent this one has been hyped can be, to some degree, disappointing when viewed. This one was consistent in that regard but to a lesser degree than I had feared. Having never seen it in 3-D I can, nevertheless, see how it was produced to serve the features that 3-D offers; many scenes present objects that move toward the viewer in a manner designed to provoke a reaction from the 3-D viewer. This does not, in my opinion, interfere with the enjoyment of the movie in 2-D. My overall reaction to the movie is favorable in many regards. First is the interesting idea of the avatar; this idea has surfaced in sci-fi, but not often in my experience. The second is the idea of the sentient planet which has been used much more often; this version minimizes the proactive nature of that sentience by comparison with other sci-fi stories. Thirdly the picture quality and audio quality are both outstanding as are the much touted special visual effects. If I were to identify some flaws I would have to mention the rather prosaic, stereotypical characters that occupy certain supporting roles in the movie. The short-sighted, narrowly focused corporate manager character has been done far too often; Sigourney Weaver's character in Alien had a corporate antagonist cut out of exactly the same cloth. The tough, driven, mercenary commander's character has also been used to the point of annoyance; they were some of the evil straw men set up for the audience to hate. The tough mercenary soldiers were similarly designed to generate audience revulsion. Devices such as these are manipulative and I would have hoped this movie would rise above such simplistic alternatives. I would say that such choices as were made in this regard can be understood and overlooked if one can accept the basic premises of the movie in general. Some of the battle scenes were reminiscent of "Star Wars" but were suitably bombastic. It may be a propaganda piece as some have pointed out but that is fairly easy to overlook. I have watched the movie twice now and actually enjoyed it more the second time. A lot is happening fast and I would say it will take two viewings at least to begin to absorb all that is being displayed on the screen. The scenery is fascinating in its detail and provides the viewer with many interesting backgrounds; it is evident that a huge amount of work went into creating the movie and the planet Pandora. It appears that many who bought the disc have had problems viewing the movie. Blu-ray is a technological marvel but it does require some tender, loving care; most importantly Blu-ray machines can, and should be updated with the latest software. In this regard Blu-ray players are more like computers than the DVD players of the past. I have two OPPO players which are both capable of playing the disc; they are both connected by an Ethernet connection to the web and inform me automatically when an update is available. I would strongly suggest that all of those who are having problems avail themselves of any updates that might be available from the manufacturers of their equipment. Updates can usually be made from a network connection, through a USB input, or from a disc. For those who are disinterested in technology it may be wise to have a knowledgeable friend help with setup or hire someone to do the necessary setup; this is a problem that won't go away if ignored. If, on the other hand, the manufacturer is not providing the needed updates, or the player is obsolete and cannot update, then that is another problem entirely. If you find yourself deciding to get a new Blu-ray player, may I suggest the OPPO BDP-83; I am looking at one as I type this and can recommend it highly. It is available from desertcart and will play Avatar. By way of summary, this is a disc worth having; some have complained it does not have extras and that is true but for $19.99 one can enjoy the movie now at home and then, should one desire, treat one's self to a Christmas present when the "Ultimate" edition comes out. Review: AVATAR - Collector's Extended CUT - BluRay 3 Disc set - The first thing I notice is the extreme packaging - a slip-off sleeve, then a box cover containing a book with three really fancy pages with a pull-out disc holder - all with very nice depiction of AVATAR scenes over every visible inch of the packaging. All this hints that something special lies inside. And you won't be disappointed - at least I wasn't - and it was well worth the price. DISC 1 - AVATAR Disc Menu: PLAY / SETUP / SOUND / SEARCH / EXTRAS This disc contains three versions of AVATER: 1) original movie release 2) Special Edition DVD Re-release (with 8 additional minutes), and 3) Collector's Extended Cut (with 16 additional minutes) If you saw the movie, then you've seen version 1. If you bought the DVD, then you've seen version 2. What you want to see now is version 3, the Collector's Extended Cut, with 16 additional minutes. If you just click on the PLAY menu choice, you'll get version 1. To play version 2 or 3, click first on SETUP - FILM SELECTION, then choose the Special Addition Re-release, or the Collector's Extended Cut. The Collector's Extended Cut contains all the scenes in versions 1 and 2, plus the additional scenes, so no need to view versions 1 or 2, even if you haven't seen the movie yet. Under the SOUND menu is an option to have all the swear words deleted from the sound track, but it doesn't work for version 3, Collector's Extended Cut, which is the version you want to watch, and the swearing is very light, no "f" words. Under EXTRAS menu are all the added scenes, which is handy of you fall asleep watching the Extended Cut movie (as I did) and want to see if you missed anything new. DISC 2 - FILMAKER'S JOURNEY Disc Menu: DELETED SCENES / CAPTURING AVATAR / A MESSAGE FROM PANDORA / PRODUCTION MATERIAL The best thing about Disc 2 are the more than 45 minutes of "Deleted Scenes." There are many of them, all in various stages of completion, and all but two add considerably to understanding the story line, especially "Dream Hunt" and "Challenge." The two deleted scenes that should stay deleted are : "Norm is a God," and "Norm's attitude Improves." The Deleted Scenes are the next place to go after viewing the "Extended Collector's Cut" on Disc 1. "Capturing Avatar" is about how the film married real human facial expression and human movement to the animated AVATAR scenes. It is very interesting to see. "A Message form Pandora" is about James Cameron going down to the desertcart Basin in Brazil and joining the jungle tribes fighting against the construction of a dam. If there was any doubt that Cameron was anything other than a dedicated tree-hugging environmentalist, this will dispel all doubts. DISC 3 - PANDORA'S BOX This disc primarily has items a filmmaker might be interested in, The BD-Live portal is also on disc 3, which allows you to download additional material. I tried this but found nothing new that wasn't already on one of the three discs, and also the download was very slow. MY TAKE ON THIS EDITION OF AVATAR I am a civil engineer who thinks bulldozers and mining equipment are righteous and good. I suppose in an environmentalist's eyes I have done my share of raping the environment, although the way I see it, natural resources are there to be utilized. I do believe, however, that the resources need to be used wisely and efficiently and that renewable resources should be harvested by sustainable methods, and the earth returned to a green state after opening it and harvesting whatever is there. I present the above, because it is very clear that AVATAR is permeated with tree-hugging, environmentalist propaganda. And Cameron so much as admits it in "A Message from Pandora" on Disc 2. Nevertheless, Cameron made a really terrific movie promoting environmentalist concerns, though probably his message is totally lost on sinners like myself. Still, I very much like this movie and especially the Collector's Cut, because 1) it is so realistically done, 2) because it is an exciting adventure story with lots of very dangerous creatures, 3)because it is also a love story, and 4) because it is a hero story - the little guy fighting the faceless bureaucracy of a large corporation or government. As someone who has thrice married into different cultures in different countries, and experienced the somewhat difficult task of adjusting to and accommodating a foreign culture, I think Cameron has done a good job presenting the difficulty and opposition that naturally occurs against inter-cultural romance, and much more so for inter-specie romance, even if it is through a remotely controlled avatar body. Much of this opposition was deleted in the original movie, but is evident in the added scenes, and especially the Deleted Scenes. SUMMARY The extra scenes in the Collector's Extended Cut (Disc 1), and the Deleted Scenes (Disc 2) by themselves make this set well worth the price, and a story worth watching over and over, all the while hoping for a sequel. If you are also into how movies are made, there are plenty of ground-breaking techniques presented on Disc's 2 and 3. THE SEQUEL My idea of what would be an interesting sequel - Jake and Neytiri have a baby or two. Jake leads the Navi to develop some technology to prepare for the return of the Earthers but find the Navi uninterested. Jake remembers how European settlers arrived in America in such overwhelming numbers that the natives were completed subjugated and near annihilated. He fears that unless the Navi modernize to some degree, at least the military, the same will happen to the Navi when the Earthers eventually return for revenge. Jake goes to the Tree of Souls and discovers Grace has merged with Eywa and can communicate with Jake. Jake and Grace discover they can reach each other telepathically. Grace-Eywa has some ability to sense events beyond the planet-moon's surface. Grace and Jake begin to develop their telepathic powers, and discover thay also have some telekinetic powers By the time the Earthers return, Jake and Grace can affect the control mechanisms on the Earthers ships.

[Take it from there, Cameron ...] ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome film for the creative mind with science fiction appreciation *by P***S on April 23, 2024* David Cameron's penultimate creation is a must-see flick for the excitement-loving sci-fi addict who enjoys detailed and wonderful fascination of another planet presented with the highest level of compelling realism. The unique life forms and the planet Pandora is the setting for a classic theme of imperialism by greedy outsiders with no consideration or respect for anything but their targeted acquisition of a high-valued commodity. The presentation, in 3-D, is a perfect example of just why the 3-D format is so compelling, so stimulating, so exciting and wonderfully beautiful in presentation. The implementation of the 3-D features is stimulating is hyper-realistic, making for a higher level of entertainment than a normal non 3-D movie can possibly muster. It is chuck full of amazing visual feasts that entice our imaginations to become enmeshed in the world of another population of life forms who follow their own "religious" value system, much like the indigenous indian populations around the globe of our own earth, valuing the natural world above all else in their existence, and dedicated to protecting and preserving their way of life as they have evolved it over great expanses of time. What makes this film so good is the sheer credibility of the story, a story that has been relived time and time again in our own histories on our own world. It symbolizes a universal value among indigenous members of tribes that arise from a natural environment without the artifacts of technological advancements. On Pandora the tribal values are not belief from faith, but from a real connectedness to the very substance of life in and on the planet itself. With a name eerily similar to "Yahweh" of Earthly nomenclature, the spiritual essence of all life is represented in a unique biological mechanism that permeates the very real life energy of all life forms that thrive on the planet. Special "miracles" are even presented as rare possibilities when their spiritual energies are harnessed in ceremonial ritual activity engaged in by a large number of the higher life forms presented as the uppermost strata of intelligent life on Pandora. The entire storyline is quite classical in its design, and the inescapable hero rises to the occasion to lead the people in a rebellion against the destructive interlopers who are threatening the very existence of the indigenous people and their many varied creatures who also inhabit the planet. The production is super-detailed, the environment recreated in amazing detail, all of it presented in astonishing realism as a 3-D experience incorporating flying, soaring, swimming, and leaping acts of daring in the unique environs of the planet. A gustatory delight in many ways and in many levels of meaning make this entertaining film very special in the canon of great film creations. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/547939237-avatar-collectors-edition-blu-ray-import](https://www.desertcart.at/products/547939237-avatar-collectors-edition-blu-ray-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
