As an anecdote, IIRC the script was actually drastically truncated from the original Wachowski Brothers screenplay

"odd" is certainly the word to describe this movie I only lament that Snyder was unable to include his originally shot (and incomplete) ending, which was set to include a major musical sequence

Alien 3 is definitely a shameful entry into the franchise for that and so many more reasons. One of the reasons Aliens is so great, is that putting aside how great the actual film is, it wonderfully complements the world introduced in the first film. The legacy of Alien just wouldnt be what it...

I just saw it this evening. Nice looking disc and decently enjoyable. Also furthers my opinion that Dianna Agron is the most beautiful girl in all of entertainment at the moment

Avatar OAR was 1.78, the 2.35 was extracted for 2D theaters. 1.78 was how it was projected in 3D, Camerons preferred way of seeing the film.

Was hoping we could one day see an Extended cut of Returns But whatever, I was already convinced we might never see teh opening, but its finally here.

Shameful cover and a flipper disc :

I will agree with this. I found Legacy's stereo to be beyond lackluster. So much of the movie was FLAT. I found it so hugely disappointing. The world of Tron presents so many creative opportunities to make use of the 3D format, far more than just pop out, and yet director Joseph Kosinksi is...

Special features on DVDs....sigh

Booboo sure looks creepy on that ad

Kind of a silly article and conclusion, regardless of Murch's pedigree. 3D doesn't work and will never work...sure, except for all the people for which it already does. Ebert's anti-3D agenda is petty at best

I honestly have no problems with the SE except that I simply cannot abide by that dance number in ROTJ But I will suck it up and buy the complete saga set

The traditional IMAX opening night 3D screening of Avatar easily ranks as one of my best theater going experiences of the last decade (you could practically hear the sense of awe emanating from the entire audience), alongside seeing Fellowship of the Ring on opening night back in 01 (that would...

4th Quarter 2013? Looks like they will be using the 3D blu general release to kick start the lead up to Avatar 2 then.

There are already countless movies of Alien empires raping our civilization, its only fair we finally turn the tables, heh

Well Avatar was written 13 years before that movie ever came out, the Avatar script even predates The Last Samurai. It just goes to show that the story trope is universal, and many, many people have fished from that pond, but in the end what matters is how these stories are executed and presented.

Id never even heard of Ferngully and I was a kid when it supposedly came out. The Avatar comparison that is the most bunk is the Pocahontas one, as you can trace back the inspirations pretty clearly, like John Carter of Mars, and other Burroughs stories, and this is freely admitted by...

He isn't defending anything, he is only pointing out how silly, uninformed and delusional the opinion that Avatar made nearly 3 Billion dollars simply due to 3D surcharges (despite the fact that the film played in 3D in only 50% of overseas theaters, which is where the film grossed 2 Bil alone) is

Inception score is definitely stunning imo. And yeah, while it does completely overpower pretty much the entire movie, I think the score is the glue that holds the movie together in a way. There are scenes in the film that I probably would not have found remotely as effective were it not for...

Do you remember the faces of people in your dreams? I don't. Just my two cents.

Yeah my opinion of it is that, really, it is pretty straight forward, but I think confusion comes from sometimes the exposition getting really clunky (I think Nolan might have overdid it to a point where stuff actually becomes LESS clear), and as the movie goes on, the pace just gets really...

There are tons of signs for it at my local best buy. Panasonic are also going to go around Malls in America demo-in their 3D TVs with Avatar

Very nice review! Your thoughts on the movie are pretty close to mine as well. I think the thing I am looking forward to the most on this release is simply blasting Hans Zimmer's score. I may end up getting more use out of the 5.1 soundtrack feature than I will of the actual movie!

Eh, I doubt it, at the very least I wouldnt double dip. Those movies obviously won't feature Ripley, so might as well not include in this set.

None Actually, there is one scene that is 100% finished but its just an extended scene with Jake and Grace having breakfast with the scientists in the mess hall.

Id say the best cut content from the film unfortunately didn't make the Extended Edition. The 10 minute long dreamhunt should have been in the Extended no doubt about it. Disappointed it wasn't. Sure it would have cost another 5+ Million to finish it, or more, but its not only a great...

Id say theres a good 20 minutes of the deleted scenes that I would not have minded at all to have seen re-inserted into the Extended Cut. Kinda stunned at some of the stuff that got cut, no doubt a lot of work went into planning and preparing for these scenes. These are hardly throwaway deleted...

Well, no one has ever accused JC of being too subtle

Theres a scene in the script where Jake almost wishes that he' could die because he can no longer take what he's doing. But unfortunately its tied in to a massive 6 page CGI heavy subplot that was taken out of the film. It will most likely be in the Deleted Scenes, but its definitely not in...

That will make a big difference in my opinion of the film. As it was in the original theatrical cut, the actions and reactions of some characters seemed simple-minded and arbitrary. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is happening more and more in movies today, because filmmakers sometimes fail...
