If it came back to theaters in IMAX 3D I would see it again. I would not see it in a 2D format.
My guess is that the availability of 3D will be a selling point for this release.If it came back to theaters in IMAX 3D I would see it again.
That's probably true for the live action footage, but I would not be totally surprised if they re-rendered and/or re-graded the fully CG sequences in 4K HDR.Friendly reminder that the original was shot at HD resolution and color gamut - while an upscale for a 4K disc wouldn’t surprise me, I wouldn’t expect too much more from it than the existing Blu-ray. There just isn’t any more “there” there to pull. Think about Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3 as comparable titles.

I guess I was thinking that avatars give people to opportunity to take on any identity they want. Since Jake already helped save the Na'vi people in the first film, maybe he could switch bodies and go on to help some sort of mermaid or bird people or whatever.
Like Sam on Quantum Leap. He continues on as the lead character, but every episode he has a new avatar and is in a new place dealing with new people and problems.
Don’t forget the avatars were made from the person’s human dna, that’s why Sully could replace his identical twin brother who had died. I don’t think you could just make up any body you wanted.I guess I was thinking that avatars give people to opportunity to take on any identity they want.

I see. I've only seen it once, so I'm a bit foggy on the technical aspects of how the avatar was made. Also I guess Sigourney Weaver's character died, so there would be no one to manage the operation.I,rs

Although the new movie seems to have new avatars... Would be funny if Sigourney has been cloned again.
Jake made pretty clear at the end of the first film that he wanted to live with the Na'vi and that he is in love with Neytiri. So even if he could do that, it doesn't really make sense on a character level for him to leave them and go do something else.Since Jake already helped save the Na'vi people in the first film, maybe he could switch bodies and go on to help some sort of mermaid or bird people or whatever.
I know Cameron is going to do what Cameron is going to do but, my goodness, can we please get even a simple 1080p release of The Abyss and True Lies. At this point I'd take an exclusive to Disney+ version.There should almost definitely be a 4K of the new film.
I'd expect we'll also see a 4K of the first film announced closer to the sequel's release. Seems like this is one catalog release Disney would support.
My great looking HD digital version of True Lies will suffice till we get a proper physical release.
TrueLies is available elsewhere as FHDBD released by Universal. with Turbine media Germany accessibility to Universal catalog titles for further Remix on soundtrack, i assume TrueLies could be in the works for Atmos Remix and future release? unless... LightStorm steps in to stop Universal Europe to release the rights?
Did you do a disc to digital on it when it was available, Tino?My great looking HD digital version of True Lies will suffice till we get a proper physical release.
That’s what I did.Did you do a disc to digital on it when it was available, Tino?
Yeah, I only ever saw it where you could do the disc-to-digital, and have never seen it available to purchase from a storefront.Wait, where is True Lies available in digital HD? I search the different storefronts on occasion and have never seen it available. It is listed on Vudu but you can't buy it.
Cameron once claimed he was too busy working on the Avatar sequels to supervise new 4K masters. From what I understand, however, Cameron became discomfited with True Lies after 9/11, and the making of The Abyss was traumatic for everyone involved. Cameron is outwardly much fonder of his other films.Wait, where is True Lies available in digital HD? I search the different storefronts on occasion and have never seen it available.

I don't understand why The Abyss and True Lies have been so neglected. Everything else in Cameron's catalogue has seen multiple releases over the years but these 2 haven't seen anything, in the US, since the DVD only days (and I think they were even pre-16x9 enhanced days). Does Cameron dislike these movies?
All this True Lies talk has me fantasizing about what an amazing film we could have gotten if Cameron had spent 13 years making True Lies 2.
