Avatar: Special Edition

[miniPhil]

Avatar returns to the theaters in August

Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we're making that possible. AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be exclusively in 3D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this Special Edition, you'll be seeing it like never before.

Is anyone gunna bother going?

[Eris]

Hell yeah, 8 minutes worth of minor changes!


And no, I'm not going to watch it. I didn't watch the original, as it just seemed to be an pointless orgy in CG. Adding 8 more minutes of pointless CG isn't going to change my mind.

[Diocletian]

That was one of the most boring movies ever. Yes, the CG was nice and all, but it was one of the boringest experinces ever. I wouldn't watch it if they payed me.

I dunno, if I was getting paid Avatar would seem a hell of a lot better. But yeah not goin.

[Digital Dragon]

No way. It was a good movie, but no way I'm paying to see it with eight extra minutes.

[lovelicious]

Only eight extra minutes?? No, thank you.

[::SomeOtherCookiez::]

Hell no. I would not waste money for a film that takes 8 minutes to finish.

[Alphabet]

I would like to yell something repulsive in the theater or "POKEMONNNNN!". It's worth getting kicked out for that.
ooshy ooshy ooshy

I saw the movie, i'm a big fan of military action, i thought it was good, THEY COULDN'T EVEN PUT A BULLET IN THOSE BLUE THINGS, after emptying the mags for several mins, they take down one or two... I would've just stood up, yell'd "LEEEEEEROOOOOY!!!!!!! NNNN----JEEEEEEEENKIIINNNSSSSS!!!!" and run out, but, obvious, i have the CD so i watched it in my room, on the night, very appropriate -- no.

[Darkseid]

No way. It was a good movie, but no way I'm paying to see it with eight extra minutes.

This. I loved the experience, but I only need to see it once.

[Wolfie Poo]

I really enjoyed the movie, even if it didn't have originality.

But, I wouldn't waste my money to watch only eight extra minutes of it. /:

200 bucks says they make a sequel, so I'll just wait for that...

[DOOM!]

Hael NO! I'd rather watch Final Destination 4 in 3D again. It has the worst CGI ever, but better than 8 minutes of watching the night elves shag in the jungle.

200 bucks says they make a sequel, so I'll just wait for that...

Fraid you're a bit late makin that bet. Sequel was confirmed back in January.

[suzumi]

Dude, I regret paying for the 3 hours of torture I had to endure the first time. There is no way I'm paying the same price (or possibly more) for another 8 minutes.

[The Butcher]

I rather see Transformers 2 than Avatar.and TF 2 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Couldn't this just be released on DVD instead of theaters?

*Sigh* I am going to admit that I actually enjoyed Avatar. I am not used to watching movies that push THREE FREAKING HOURS, but I actually enjoyed the movie very much.

Now, I do recognize this movie for what it really is. Its Pocahontas, Fern Gully, Dances with Wolves and the Last Samurai...in space. We have not only seen this story before, but we have seen it again and again and again. When I realized how Avatar was going to turn out (which was more like a confirmation than an actual realization), I almost threw my hands up in the air. I am not going to say that the movie is bad, since the special effects are among the best that I have ever seen, but there is a reason why billions of dollars in gross revenue couldn't win this movie an Oscar.

I probably won't see this. I mean, 8 minutes being added to an already 162 minute movie means almost nothing in my book (especially when that movie came out less than a year ago). I like the movie, but I do not like it that much to spend even MORE money on it.

I will just wait for the Super-Special-Ultra-Mega-Platinum-Diamond-Director's Cut Edition that will ultimately come out as a way to pump another $50 million dollars out of this franchise before the sequel comes out.
