For those who may be unaware, fourteen years ago James Cameron created a new cinematic world in a film entitled Avatar. It was well received, and after it's theatrical screenings has been offered in various home video formats, inclusive of 3D and various cuts of the film.
The audience that appreciated that earlier work has now seen (and approved of) the sequel, Avatar - The Way of Water. At 192 minutes, it was a theatrical experience. The next three films in the series are all said to be in production, with release dates set for 2025, 2029 and 2031.
Fox, via Disney is releasing The Way of Water in several home video formats, among them 4k and 3D. These are separate releases, with each containing a 2k Blu-ray, along with either 4k or 3D - dependent upon the desire(s) of the home theater collector. You can own one or both.
Bottom line here, is that the film looks like what one would hope in the best of worlds. In short, this is reference quality from first frame to last.
For 3D fans, and there are still a few out there, the imagery is miraculous, with incredible depth and details that will astound, much akin to the 3D variant of the original Avatar.
For slipcover collectors, this is beautifully rendered packaging. A black matte finish background with gorgeous color imagery popping to the fore. The title - and this will most assuredly please the champions of on-line un-boxing, is embossed with delicate blues and a fully reflective surface. I can just imagine this being tilted in the light to gain the perfect perspective.
A total class act, for a film well worth your attention. To that regard, it’s worth noting here that the film (on both 4k and 3D editions) is produced toward highest image quality, with the 4k set having all extras - and there are hours of them - on a separate third disc. The second is the standard issue Blu-ray.
In the same manner, the 3D variant has the feature spread over two discs, with the third being the 2D Blu-ray, and a fourth for extras.
Image – 5 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k - 10
Worth your attention - 9
Slipcover rating - 9
Very Highly Recommended
