You getting Avatar on DVD?

[Quad08]

I saw it once and that was enough for me. Doesn't seem like the kind of movie I'd watch over and over

 

[wolf thing]

Yeah I'd say give it a few months, then get your greasy mitts on the blu-ray.

I don't own a blue-ray player, and I don't need one. You can get an up-convert DVD player, that converts DVD to 1080p for 100 dollars. Why would I spend $300 on another player and then build up my movie collection again?

the unpscaling quality isnt very good and it also lacks the exratrs that blu ray has.

ot, yeh il be getting it that film kicked mager ass

 

[diddykonger]

liked the movie, but not enough for me to shell out 60 odd dollars for it.

I'll probably pick up the blu-ray down the road at some point, but I have no real need to see the film again without the 3D, and for the time being, my home theatre setup can't do 3D.

[Azraellod]

I doubt it.

True, I might enjoy watching it more without the 3D effects giving me a headache, but I'm not really that into films right now, and haven't been for a while. The most recent one I watched, How to Train Your Dragon, was only because I happened to have read the books[footnote]Incidentally, the storyline in the books is completely different to that of the film.[/footnote].

Mind you, I think it's quite likely that someone else in my family will buy it. They all seemed to enjoy it far more then I did, although I doubt that if they do buy it, it'll be anytime soon. Most likely they'll wait until Christmas or something.

Buying a DVD implies that I'll watch the movie more than once in my lifetime. That rarely happens.

The only DVD I own is Zoolander.

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Nope, I'm downloading it.

 

[UberNoodle]

I used to care heaps about extras and buy all the special stuff, but unless it is something done in the spirit of film studies, I get bored. Dangerous Days, the Bladerunner docco in the Final Cut box set is an example of such a thoroughly thought provoking and engaging extra. The extras that just explain on set hijinks and 'how the scenes were done' is kind of boring. Not much is shown that hasn't already been shown for other films.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Of course I am.

[small][small] Granted, I have owned the movie for like 3 months already... [/small][/small]

I loved the movie, and will pick it up as soon as I get some cash

 

[Malifact]

Am I buying it? You bet your gaming station I am. Woop Woop.

I may actually consider renting this movie from the store and watching it with my brother next time he comes home. I never saw Avatar in theaters mostly because 3D makes me nauseous and I couldn't find a convenient showcasing of it in non-3D. I've learned quite a bit about the film and I don't think I will enjoy it, but I always prefer to have personally experienced the things I hate. I feel like it gives more justification for my feelings, even if I already know enough about the product for those feelings to be accurate. Plus knowing my brother he is going to want to mock the movie with me.

I have to wonder if people are still going to hold this movie in such a high regard without its fancy special effects.

Repost from the identical thread.

I concur.

I loved this movie totally, I will be getting it on DVD. Although probably not this week.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I'll rent it. I never was that interested in seeing it to begin with.

 

[Gaderael]

I'll get it eventually, when the two or three disc special edition comes out, and it's on at Wal-Mart for cheap.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

I despised the movie so I'm most likely not going to buy it.
If you don't mind me asking, what's on the special edition that makes you want to wait longer for it?

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Totally going to get the Bluray

 

[Tuddle]

DO NOT BUY AVATAR on DVD now because they don't have any special features on it. They are going to wait until everybody buys the regular movie then release super special edition a year later. THEY WANT MORE OF YOUR MONEY, WAIT and SEE!


This is Tuddle's prediction from stuff he found out.

They had it on a plane I was on last week. I watched it again and it's just not the same without 3D. So no, I'm not getting it, even to once again experience what is probably the most detailed (if somewhat iffy scientifically) SF world in movie history to date. Because Pandorapedia provides this service.
