Avatar Blu-Ray

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 film that marked the history of film, James Cameron's AVATAR, April 21, dated the 40th Anniversary of the World Day of the Earth.

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.

Since its theatrical release last December, AVATAR continues to write a page in the history of cinema. Awarded the Golden Globe ® and Oscar, what is the film that generated the biggest box office in the world with $ 2.6 billion including $ 1.9 billion generated abroad.

Director James Cameron takes audiences to 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 collaborator Jon Landau ever, AVATAR portrays Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver. Also in the cast Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore.

 

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 :

    To return to the post, in fact, the filming was done in native 1.77. Obviously, this is the preferred format for 3D films ... In a forum on dragging projectionist, they simply do not understand why this decision was made, insofar as it adds two ugly gray bars to the right and left of the image, which greatly disfigures the presentation, and prevents it from ending up with an image that covers the whole screen so the visual field ...

    OK for the IMAX ...

    I saw "Alice ..." in 1.77 (1.78 to be exact), and it was very disturbing. We'll have to get used to ...

    Hello and thank you for your comment.

    The film was "printed" on 70mm for its operations in IMAX (different versions). All 35mm prints derived from elsewhere.

    Cameron has always used the super35, as it prepares, in advance, the possible reframing of his films for a TV broadcast for example.

    For 1.78, I can not explain why I have seen in 2.35 ...

    Sources:

    Color info: Color
    Sound Mix: Dolby Digital
    Camera: PACE Fusion 3-D
    Laboratory: Efilm (scanning & recording)
    Negative Format: HDCAM
    Process: Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format) / Fusion Camera (dual-strip 3-D) / HDCAM SR (1080p/24) (source format)
    Printed Format: 35 mm (anamorphic) / 70 mm (Kodak Vision 2383) (IMAX DMR blow-up) (dual-strip 3-D) / 70 mm (horizontal) (IMAX version) / 70mm (horizontal) (Kodak) / D-Cinema (3-D version)
    Aspect ratio: 1.78: 1 (3-D version) / 2.35: 1 (2-D version)

    Other sites evoke the same technical data as mine, and also speak of a crop ...

    However, I will make changes on this news.

    "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. "

    So ...
    - The movie was NOT filmed in superscope
    - Definitely NOT in 70mm (?!?)
    - The film was framed by 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 seen in that room were cropped, but had better choose your rooms)

    Admit it made many mistakes in a very short lines.

    Hello,

    I completely agree with you CORNWALL, I think the movie was not terrible because at the scenario is of deja vu:

    "A guy who infiltrated befriends those who spy and turn against those who use".

    Innovation just special effects and 3D.

    Well done!
    I hated myself for this "movie", but I indeed had fun viewing the supplements. Anyway, it will be reissued and reissued to infinity ...

    The cash 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 (lost time early to start the movie ..)
    Bonuses, but I never look for Avatar I have 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 ..

    If not for the 3D version, I read more and more it would be postponed until 2011, and at the end of the year we would have the right version of "ultimate" (bonus scenes and more ...)
