Alright, so I have heard people getting really upset about how Avatar is being released. Let me catch you up on what is going on .. then ask your opinion. For the all I care, you can replace Avatar with Lord of the Rings or The Wiggles, I am curious more about how you feel about the process.
Facts
- The Blu-ray and DVD come out on April 22nd. and will contain the movie and nothing else. No trailers, no special features.
- In November an "Ultimate Edition" will come out with all the cool stuff like commentary and the like. This version is also rumored (I think it is only a rumor) to have 20-40 minutes of additional scenes in it, so it will be the directors cut.
- Next year yet another version will release, but this time in 3D. I assume that this will have all the special features of the Ultimate version.
Rumor
- People are hearing trickles about a re-release to theaters with the additional scenes in it.
Now, knowing all that, here are my questions.
1) What edition would you get?
2) Would you be/are you upset about the way they are handling the release
3) Who cares?
I loved the movie, and I want a copy. My TV is not a 3D TV, and I don't see that changing anytime soon .. so I am not upset about waiting another year for the 3D version. That leaves me with either the version coming out on the 22nd, or the "Ultimate" version.
I am thinking I would just go with the standard no frills thing. I so rarely watch any extras to care about them being there or not.
The whole reason I am making this post is I have seen more than one person on more than one site being completely upset and frustrated over their plans, and I just don't understand why. Maybe I am a corporate tool?
Am I?
