Any interest for Avatar:Special Edition?
Well, the Most Popular Movie EVER is back in 1,000 or so theaters tomorrow. The main selling point is that it has eight new minutes of footage added on. Plus, it will be in 3D only.
I wonder, does anyone plan on seeing this? Personally, I'm Avatar-ed out. I saw the film once in 2009, and for a second time in 2010. Also, I saw it again on dvd several months ago. So, my interest in seeing this yet again is pretty low.

I would see this again, but it is not in IMAX in my area. There are multiple 3D screens in which it is playing, but if I were to shell out any more cash for the flick, it would need to be in IMAX.
Also, I think I read that the November home release would include a longer Special Edition, 22 minutes if I remember correctly.

Only if in this version the marines send nukes down from orbit, destroying the Navi and that tree of life. Then go in and mine the unobtainium.

yeah sure.
annoyed that the AMC Tysons IMAX is not booking this, but I have to trek out to AMC Hoffman which is better in a way since it's more accesible by Metro than Tysons is.

what's odd is that the Special Edition theatrical version is only 8 minutes longer, but the SE of the bluray is 16 minutes longer.... wtf?

Giles, this was done because they could only fit 8 more minutes of footage on the IMAX platters. I should know, I'm running it as I type this, and I don't like how close to the edge of the platter the print is.

None of the new footage is spent on fleshing out any of the characters or story out. Not even a shot of what the Earth of the future looks like. It's just a couple of new beasties and some new flying creature. I'll pass.

that maybe the case for IMAX/70mm but not for IMAX-Digital presentations, but I can see why it was done, since to do two different 'expanded editions' depending on the theatre's setup would be more than a hassle.

And finally, I think Fox/Cameron are purposefully holding back some of the footage just to make the home video release more attractive to people who already bought the previous edition and/or saw the theatrical re-release.

Saw it once on the couch and fell asleep, so pass.

I think the only people this will interest are the ones who somehow missed it in the theater the first time around and have been kicking themselves ever since cause they missed the 3D "event"...and the nutjobs who have considered suicide so they could live on pandora as a Na'vi for all eternity.
I'm waiting for the special edition blu-ray myself.
