Avatar 1 (remastered) UHD

Superb Quality
Well worth getting in 4k on disk. Makes you realise how much quality you miss through streaming, especially in the sound.

AN EXTRAORDINARY VISUAL SPECTACLE
Have, despite having bought both the original release on Blu-ray plus 3D, and indeed the extended version, always, since its development wanted the 2009 Avatar on the 4k format.Strangely because of the delays in releasing The Way of Water, I haven't watched this one for several years as I wanted, though delayed, wished to watch the two on 4k back-to-back over a couple of evenings, at last I am able to.Often felt this the first in the series to be the best visual movie ever made, and have wondered how near visual perfection could possibly get even better even on the 4k format, truth is, both Blu-ray and 4k are an incredible watch, the constant special-effects simply stunning.The film tells of how former-marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) now disabled replaces his twin brother who had died on the Avatar programme on the moon Pandora.Mankind (The Sky People) are, without regard for the inhabitants of the planet, mining for the valuable mineral unobtanium, destroying the habitat of the Na'vi (the tree people)Jake's task will be in infiltrate and gain trust of the tribe to benefit the mining company.Jake's first encounter with the tribe will be with Zoe Saldana as Neytiri daughter of the Omaticaya clan's leaders.Neytiri will take Jake to meet her people and will be instructed to teach him of their culture and beliefs.Jake initially remains loyal to the mining company and its military leader /security Colonel Miles Quaritch, (Stephen Lang) bur, eventually grows to love Neytiri and her people and indeed their way of lifeHowever, the ruthless Colonel believing he can win, in effect makes war on Omaticaya clan.Jake has to decide where his loyalty lies.Also starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine, an exobiologist and head of the Avatar Program.And yes, I am watching both Avatar movies over the weekend.This, the first, is in my opinion the better of the two, though both visually stunning movies are in my view 'A MUST WATCH'

Avatar Has Never Looked More Incredible!
I'll get the bad out of the way first, there's not much, it doesn't have the extended cut which is disappointing! Thankfully I've had the Collector's Edition Blu-Ray version for years so I'm not missing anything new as I've watched it a dozen times.The second small 'complaint' I have is that some scenes do look like they're overly sharpened and seem to have a bit of ghosting sort of doubling the lines of faces and objects but it's not a major issue. It actually seemed to only be in the early part of the film as I didn't notice it happening again as the film went on.Other than those two points I've highlighted, this 4K remaster is simply OUTSTANDING 😍 EVERYTHING pops out of the screen and looks incredibly vibrant and crisp!I used to think my standard Blu-Ray version looked amazing but this 4K version is just on another level!Even though there's no Extended Cut, there is still A LOT of extra content.We've waited a LONG time to finally have Avatar remastered in 4K and it was definitely worth the wait! Once you've hit play you're going to be so stunned by the visuals and clarity that you will forget all about the lack of extended footage 🙂I was planning on watching this through DisneyPlus but a lot of reviews mentioned that the quality loss over streaming vs 4K disc is night and day, plus I was getting Way Of Water for my collection as it is so might as well buy both 4K versions.I've tried to take pictures but they honestly don't do it justice compared to seeing the film with your own eyes, it's just incredible!

Same Film, New Bells and Whistles
If you've seen the original, this is the exact same thing. If just looks and sounds better. If you haven't seen it, this is definitely the default way to watch it now (if you haven't got 3D that is (I don't)).
