No detail has been released as yet to what extra features may be included, if any, on the Avatar Blu-ray 3D Collectors Edition, but it will include the theatrical version of the movie inside special packaging. Watch the promotional video after the jump.
The Impact of Avatar on the Film Industry
When Avatar launched back in 2009, it went on to break a number of box office records and became the highest-grossing film of all time, and became the first movie to gross more than $2 billion. Its budget was estimated at $237 million, and it took more than $2.7 billion at the box office. The film’s success was not just in its earnings but also in its technological advancements. Avatar was praised for its groundbreaking use of 3D technology and motion capture, setting a new standard for visual effects in the film industry.
The movie’s success also spurred a renewed interest in 3D films, leading to a surge in 3D movie productions and the adoption of 3D technology in home entertainment systems. However, the 3D TV market has struggled to maintain its initial momentum, and many are hopeful that the release of the Avatar Blu-ray 3D Collectors Edition will reignite interest in 3D home viewing.
What to Expect from the Collectors Edition
While specific details about the extra features of the Avatar Blu-ray 3D Collectors Edition have not been disclosed, fans are eagerly anticipating what might be included. Given James Cameron’s reputation for thoroughness and attention to detail, it is likely that the Collectors Edition will offer a wealth of additional content. This could include behind-the-scenes footage, director’s commentary, and perhaps even deleted scenes that provide further insight into the world of Pandora.
Moreover, the special packaging itself is expected to be a collector’s item. Fans of the film will appreciate the effort put into making this edition a must-have for any serious collector. The theatrical version of the movie will be presented in stunning 3D, allowing viewers to experience the breathtaking visuals and immersive world of Avatar in the comfort of their own homes.
Avatar Blu-ray 3D Collectors Edition is currently available to pre-order over on the Amazon website for $27.99. This price point makes it an attractive option for both fans of the movie and collectors of high-quality Blu-ray editions.
The release of the Avatar Blu-ray 3D Collectors Edition is not just a significant event for fans of the movie but also for the 3D home entertainment market. As the industry looks for ways to revitalize interest in 3D technology, high-profile releases like this one could play a crucial role. Whether you are a long-time fan of Avatar or a newcomer to the world of Pandora, this Collectors Edition promises to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience.
