As if $2.7 BILLION in gross revenue isn’t enough already, James Cameron’s Avatar is returning to theaters on August 27, 2010 and is being billed as Avatar: Special Edition.
This second coming of Pandora is being shown only in 3D on IMAX and RealD screens. You’ll get 8 minutes of new footage, and Cameron promises new creatures and action scenes to be part of that additional footage.
I’ve heard from a number of friends and family who missed the film in 3D, opting to “wait for DVD.” Their impressions were largely different from mine, having seen Avatar in both IMAX and RealD screenings.
If you missed it the first time around, this is a movie that is made to be seen on the big screen and in 3D. If you’ve watched it on DVD or Blu-ray in a sad 2D encounter, you probably already understand this point well.
