H ere the full press release issued by the publisher, Fox, about the upcoming release of James Cameron:
LOS ANGELES, March 16 - Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment today announced the global release on Blu-Ray in the film that marked the history of cinema, James Cameron's AVATAR, April 21, when the 40th Anniversary Global Day of the Earth.
The inevitable Blu-Ray AVATAR offers a new experience of HD for Home Cinema. Renowned for optimum picture and sound, Blu-Ray transcribed perfectly masterful realization, the work of art direction and visual effects.
Since its theatrical release last December, AVATAR continues to write a page in the history of cinema. Awarded the Golden Globe ® and Oscar is the film that has generated the biggest box office in the world with $ 2.6 billion of which $ 1.9 billion achieved abroad.
The director James Cameron takes his audience into a spectacular world, beyond imagination, where an anti-hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery during which he will lead a heroic battle to save an entire civilization.
Written by James Cameron and produced with his regular collaborator Jon Landau, AVATAR portrays Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver. Also in the cast Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi and Joel David Moore.
As if the movie had not done enough about him (an awkward space, because of the disappointment many and varied film has generated: 3D staging platform for some payments required by some spectators in the room because disingenuous of the famous 3-D effect, headache ... just a little scratch to realize pretty quickly that the Cameron film, far from arousing such passions sometimes also generates enough unilateral rejection ... which we subscribe) here come the controversy stirred the canvas for several days: the DVD editions and Blu-Ray Movie will not benefit from the press service, on the one hand, but more importantly, on the other hand, does not offer any other editorial content the film itself. Which movie will not have even proposed 3D ... on this first edition. Editing High Definition free menu, devoid of any content, will present the film in 1.78, even though Cameron had spent the CinemaScope format theatrical 70mm ... But the nature of the work, and employment patterns of Superscope 2.35 by the director allow a reframing "elegant" and without doubt more elaborate than usual.
The reasons for these limitations are clearly set by the publisher and copyright holders: offering the best possible image with the best compression rate possible, while getting rid of superfluous extras, menus, schedules and other aspects. It applies to the sound aspect, which will benefit from a technical comfort that we long to hear, in early digital audio through logically placed very high (several MB per second). But until proven otherwise ... In the past, many publishers have opted for this type of editing, but when finely analyzed technical data, large gigabytes are still left free of any content, evidence of an encoding finally not optimized, that any benefit of the fire-allocated disk space .... Have to wait on April 21 in Area B, to check if the ambitions of the promising Fox will be honored on lands visual and acoustic ... Ideally, we fully endorse this type of technical proposal: to maximize space disk, reducing the compression (ultimately necessary, even in HD) to protect the expressive content of the images and sounds, getting rid of any form of over-compression ... etc. One last point: the first edition of the film will be labeled THX .
The 3D film editions, embellished supplements, will not appear until the end of the year, probably during Christmas. According to some officials, the 3D version adapted to the Blu-Ray, this film is only a stage of "experimental" ....
In conclusion, we suggest you discover a remarkable documentary about the mixing and creating the soundtrack of the film, suggested by our colleagues Soundworks :

To return to the post, in fact, the shooting was done in 1.77 natively. Obviously, this is the preferred format for movies in 3D ... dragging on a forum projectionist, they simply do not understand why this decision has been taken, insofar as it adds two hideous gray bars to the right and left of the image, which mars the presentation considerably, and prevents end up with an image that covers the entire screen so the visual field ...
OK to the IMAX ...
I saw Alice ... "in 1.77 (1.78 to be exact), and it was very disturbing. He'd better get used to it ...
Hello and thank you for your comment.
The film has been "printed" on 70mm for its operations in IMAX (different versions). All 35mm prints derived from elsewhere.
Cameron has been using the super35, it prepares, in advance, the possible reframing of his films for a TV broadcast for example.
For the 1.78, I can not understand why I could see it in 2.35 ...

Other sites evoke the same technical data as mine, and also speak of a crop ...
However, I will make changes on this news.
"Editing High Definition free menu, devoid of any content, will present the film in 1.78, even though Cameron had spent the CinemaScope format theatrical 70mm ... But the nature of the work, and employment patterns of 2.35 Superscope by filmmaker allow a reframing "elegant" and no doubt more elaborate than usual. "
So ...
- The movie was NOT filmed in superscope
- Definitely NOT in 70mm (?!?)
- The film has been framed in 1.78 to be released in theaters in 1.78
- There will be refocused on what NOT to submit ALL Bluray image
(These are the versions that you seem to have been in the restaurant that were cropped, but had better choose your rooms)
Admit it made many mistakes in a very short lines.

Well done!
For my part I hated the "film", but in fact I really enjoyed viewing the supplements. Anyway, it will be reissued and reissued to infinity ...
The cow
If they really use the 50GB for the movie, then yes I am for.
In addition, the bands announced on Blu-ray, I'm really against (loss of time initially to start the movie ..)
The bonus, but I never look for Avatar I made a small exception .. They could have put them on a second wafer, there is laughing at us!
By cons, if there is any GB free on the cake .. so there ..
Otherwise for the 3D version, I read more and more that it would be postponed to 2011, and at the end of the year we would have the right to release "Ultimate" (bonus scene and more ...)
