If there has ever been a perfect movie- this is it. Jake Sully is a wheelchair bound ex-Marine living in an environment where people wear face masks to block out the pollution. Earth is not portrayed as a very hospitable, kind place- as evidenced by Jakes' twin brother, Tom, being murdered for " the paper in his wallet". Tom was " the scientist" who studied 3 years to prepare him for a mission on Pandora. Because their geneome was the same- Jake is offered his brothers position- as an Avatar driver on Pandora. It takes 6 years of travel through space to reach Pandora, " the most hostile environment known to man". The movie is phenomenal- the graphics unsurpassed- and you would swear the Na'Vi are real. I won't tell you the rest of the story- you just HAVE to watch it. The extended version is mind blowing-and it comes in regular DVD, Blu-Ray - and also in 3-D . Disc 3 contains never before seen footage and deleted scenes- and documents the 5 years spent making this movie. It shows the progression from capture- to template to finished product of many scenes. James Cameron leads us through the process- from the origional conception of the story- to it's completion. Groundbreaking technology , and special effects that don't LOOK like special effects. Just amazing. The story combines so many different levels of human emotion- greed,loyalty, accountability, love.... I have to say it is my all time favorite movie- and that covers a lot of years and movies! Do yourself a favor- Buy Avatar- the extended edition- take the phone" off the hook" and go on a voyage you'll never forget!Read full review
I had "Avatar" on DVD but wanted the extra clarity of the Bluray and this 3-disc set surpassed just that expectation. This has so many features, I still haven't seen them all. Alternate cuts of the movie, family friendly settings, art galleries... barring a brain implant in the future, this is the best way to own the movie.

They did an incredible job with graphics. Much of the movie is character-based (character-morphed?) animation, and, except for one or two moments, was totally believable. The first half to three quarters of the movie was extremely entertaining and immersive. Unfortunately, the anti-military, humans-are-bad (kind of like the Disney Bambi world view) mentality took over, and it seemed to morph into a political-philosophical (kind of a Buddhist-Hindu mixture) film. From that point on, it was fairly predictable. The product arrived in excellent condition and played flawlessly.

I’ve always wanted this special extended edition of Avatar, having seen it once. The quality of the discs and box set is very good and I am very happy with my purchase

Yes Its AWESOME with some extra minutes added to the story. It's and avant-garde theme touching an ever evolving science against our present Climate Change with unimaginable Consequences for anyone. All this and more is seen from a beautiful point of view of a new-far-away-planet.
