Here’s to Waititi in a Na’vi cameo. Sounding exactly like Korg.

Some discussion about the movie between 2:03 and 9:09

VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 75 - YouTube

I like how they're also obsessed with this shot as I am.

 

[GothamCity]

Well alot of things in the first film now look dated.
Cgi is a tool that needs to be really well done to stand the test of time.

 

[Kane52630]

Man, something I love about the first Avatar is the CGI. It really stands the test of time.

This is so high quality, great technical achievement.

Man, something I love about the first Avatar is the CGI. It really stands the test of time.

I haven't kept up with 3D and if films really bother on that front any more, but my instinct is that the first film's 3D depth would still feel revolutionary today (if it hadn't already done it back then). Hopefully this new Avatar's technical side will also be amazing more than a decade after it comes out.

Now this is the real thing.

Keeping my eye out for when tickets go on sale for this re-release.

I love how they got rid of the Papyrus font entirely. That SNL skit must've really gotten to Cameron.

 

[Prison Mike]

Kind of annoyed that they took this off of Disney+ just for a re-release that’s only 2 weeks. If it was 45 days, I would understand. But just for 2 weeks?

 

[Drizzle]

What they should do is put the 3 hour extended cut on there once they put it back on Disney+. Cameron's directors cuts are usually the best versions of the film and this one is no different.

 

[Kane52630]

I honestly would love it if they also included all the deleted scenes on top of his 3hr extended cut. But I know its impossible because they would have to render a lot of the CG to do that.

It's my favorite version of the film. I won't pay to see it in the theater unless it was that cut.

 

[Drizzle]

Same. I saw the first one three times in theaters, twice in IMAX 3D and once in regular 3D. I'm all set. I have no real desire to see it on the big screen again unless it were the extended cut, and even then it'd have to be in IMAX 3D.

 

[Kane52630]

I'm more curious even if it's the theatrical cut because of the new HDR/3D and it being remastered.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Has Cameron ever said which is his preferred cut?

Cause I know with Aliens and The Abyss, his extended cuts are his preferred, but for Terminator 2 the theatrical is his preferred cut.

 

[Albright]

pretty sure they attach the trailer to Avatar 2 to it

See, I preferred the extended cut of T2 by far.

I was always under the assumption that Cameron preferred his extended cuts but I also prefer the extended cut of T2 to the point where I can't even remember which scenes weren't in the theatrical cut since I haven't seen that version in forever. Only ones I can pick out are the scenes where John and Sarah take out the T-800's chip and the smiling T-800.

 

[DarkKnight88]

The big add was the dream Sarah has about Kyle Reese.

There’s a great site about which edition the director prefers with different editions.

“I still stand by the release version of the film. I don’t think we needed that dream sequence. I think we made the right decisions editorially, and I think that the dream sequence and some of the other things that we put back in for the extended version are good to sort of show the creative process, but, you know, essentially, making a film is an analytical and reductive process. You throw away the things you don’t need.”

“People sometimes ask why I would want to do a special edition of T2. Why “fix” something that ain’t broken? I see it not as a fix, but as an opportunity to do greater justice to the characters who live and breathe within the 136-minute confines of the film. This Special Edition in no way invalidates the theatrical cut. It simply restores some depth and character made omissible by theatrical running time and now made viable again by the home theatrical/laserdisc format.”
