The inevitable Blu-Ray AVATAR offers a new experience of HD for the home theater. Known for optimum quality picture and sound, Blu-Ray transcribed perfectly masterful achievement, the work of art direction and visual effects.

As if the film had not done enough about him (an awkward space, because of disappointments has generated many and varied film: staged for some 3D platform, payments required by some moviegoers because of disingenuous of the famous 3D effect, headaches ... just a little scratch to realize soon enough that Cameron's film, far from arousing such passions sometimes also generates quite a unilateral rejection ... which we adhere) here comes the controversy that agitates 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 that the film itself. Which movie will not have even proposed 3D on this first edition .... The High Definition editing, menu-free, devoid of any content, will present the film in 1.78, even though Cameron had used rooms in CinemaScope format ... But 70mm nature of the work, and employment patterns of Superscope 2.35 by filmmaker allow a reframing "elegant" and undoubtedly more successful than usual.
The reasons for these limitations are clearly set by the publisher and assigns: to offer the best possible image, with the best compression possible, by getting rid of unnecessary supplements, menus and other aspects appendices. It applies to the sound aspect, which will benefit from a technical comfort that we long to hear, in the early digital audio through logically placed very high (several megabytes per second). However, until proven otherwise ... In the past, many publishers have opted for this type of editing, but when carefully analyzed the technical data, large Gigabytes are always left free of any content, evidence of an encoding ultimately not optimized, that no benefit of shooting-allocated disk space .... Still waiting for April 21 in Area B, to see if the promise of the ambitions Fox will be honored on the visual and acoustic fields ... In absolute terms, we are fully committed to this type of technical proposal: maximize space -disk, reducing the compression (eventually necessary, even in HD), in order to preserve the expressive content of images and sounds, get rid of all forms of over-compression etc. ... Last point: the first edition of the film will be labeled THX .
3D editions of the film, decorated with supplements, will only be introduced late in the year, probably at Christmas. According to some officials, the 3D version adapted to the Blu-Ray, for this film, is only an "experimental" ....
In conclusion, we propose to discover a remarkable documentary about the mixing and the creation of the soundtrack of the film, suggested by our colleagues at Soundworks :
