    Revisiting James Cameron's Avatar through its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release was an awe-inspiring experience. If you thought the visuals were groundbreaking when you first saw it in theaters or on DVD, prepare to have your mind blown anew. Picture Quality The 4K UHD resolution brings the world of Pandora to life in a way that's hard to describe. The vivid colors and intricate details pop out like never before, capturing every nuanced expression and subtle texture. The HDR support further enhances the vibrancy, making you feel like you're right there in the midst of it all. If you own a 4K TV, this is the way to experience Avatar, hands down. Audio Experience The audio is another spectacular component. The DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack envelopes you in a soundscape that's both intricate and overwhelming. Every rustle of leaves, every distant roar, comes through with crisp clarity, making for an audio experience that's as immersive as the visuals. Extras and Digital Copy The package includes a digital copy, which is a convenient bonus, but where the release really shines is in its extra features. Deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, and director commentaries offer a deep dive into the world of Avatar, enriching your understanding of both the storyline and the groundbreaking technology used to bring it to life. Packaging and Presentation The packaging is well-designed, with artwork that captures the essence of the film. Everything from the case to the disc menus has been crafted to enhance your viewing experience. You can tell that a lot of thought went into making this release special, and it pays off in spades. Compatibility One thing to note is that you'll need a 4K UHD Blu-ray player and a 4K UHD TV to get the full experience. If you're still operating with older hardware, the package does include a standard Blu-ray disc, but you'll be missing out on the extraordinary visual and audio quality that the 4K version provides. A Worthy Addition to Any Collection Avatar was a groundbreaking film when it was first released, and this 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition has given it a fresh coat of magic. Whether you're a longtime fan or you've somehow never seen it before, this is the ultimate way to experience the film. It would be a worthy addition to any movie lover's collection, not just for the film itself but for the sheer quality of this release. Final Thoughts In summary, Avatar [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2009] offers a transcendent viewing experience that justifies the expense and effort of setting up a 4K home theater system. It's a sensory feast that invites you to lose yourself in its rich, fantastical world. If you've been waiting for the right reason to dive into 4K, this is it.

    I recently purchased a 4k Blu-ray copy of James Cameron's 2009 classic, "Avatar," from Best Buy, and I must say it's nothing short of incredible. First and foremost, the product arrived on time, which is always a plus when you're eager to dive into a movie. The quality of the discs is top-notch. The 4k resolution truly does justice to the stunning visual effects and world-building that James Cameron is known for. The colors are vibrant, and the details are crisp, making the viewing experience truly immersive. The sound quality, too, is remarkable, delivering an audio experience that enhances the movie's epic scale. What I particularly appreciate about Best Buy is their consistency in providing quality products. This "Avatar" 4k Blu-ray is just one example of their commitment to offering premium entertainment options. I find that Best Buy's selection of movies and electronics is always reliable, and their prompt delivery service makes the shopping experience even better. In conclusion, my purchase of "Avatar" in 4k from Best Buy was an outstanding decision. The product is incredible, the shipping was on time, and I'm left thoroughly impressed with the quality of the discs. I'll definitely continue to choose Best Buy for my entertainment needs.

    I’ve been waiting for years for them to release this movie on 4K disco media, and it doesn’t disappoint! Video quality and audio quality is amazing! And it came out at the perfect time with the second movie so I only had to make one trip to the store!

    Been a fan of Avatar for a very long time, great to see it on 4K! The standouts here are the HDR and the new ATMOS track which are both excellent. Highly recommend for the film enthusiast and A/V enthusiast alike.

    I’ve been waiting for the 4k release of this film for a long time. I was mainly excited for the enhanced surround support going beyond 5.1, but the picture quality did catch me by surprise which stands out more than some other recently released films I’ve purchased. I’m just a little annoyed that there’s no extended version included.

    This 4k is a definite upgrade from the standard Blu-ray. The film looks and sounds better than it ever has. The new dolby atmos track helps to create a very impressive experience.

    Avatar Soars on to Ultra HD!

    Avatar finally makes its long awaited debut on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray! This is in fact a 4K upscale from the 2K Digital Intermediate but you would beg to find any flaws in the presentation. Adding in HDR grading (lacks Dolby Vision because Disney doesn’t have the licensing except for streaming) and immediately you see the night and day difference with the older, yet crisp previous Blu-ray. This comes in a three-disc collection with the third disc being all extra features, packed with new content you’ll spend hours watching. Unfortunately they did not bring over some features that were present on the Extended Collectors Edition Blu-ray. All in all, if you are looking to upgrade your previous Blu-Ray or have never added Avatar to your collection, now is certainly the time!

    Outstanding edition of the first AVATAR on 4K and a new Blu-ray along with it. This is a gorgeous slipcover with all the artwork. I love it. The white background looks good! First of its kind to my knowledge. For some, it is a bit of a bummer that a steelbook version was not also for sale at the same time as this. Folks, it is marketing technique. Look at what Paramount has done with the first 4 Indiana Jones movies! They did this to get more money from us consumers. I believe there will be a steelbook edition of this coming. The 4K is the Theatrical version ONLY. Don't get your hype up for the Extended to be on the 4K. We only have that on the Blu-ray edition. I know, I know. I hate it, but other movies have done the same thing and put the extended on the Blu-ray only. I'm just happy to have this now on 4K for all the 4K TVs and players out there. It is a worthy upgrade. We get the whole package in this edtion. 4K disc, Blu-ray disc, digital copy and nicely done slipcover. Watch this with an HDR 4K TV and nice soundbar, etc. Highly recommend this one!

    Avatar on 4K Blu-ray looks spectacular! This is by far the best I have ever seen this movie look. And the new Atmos soundtrack raises the audio bar, making this presentation not only the best looking, but also the best sounding version I have ever encountered. I do wish the extended version was also available on 4K Blu-ray, but Disney (who is trying desperately to move away from physical media) would never offer something that awesome to we the disc buyers. Still, this is a magnificent looking disc and comes with as high a recommendation as possible.

    The special effects are extraordinary, the creativity is extraordinary, and the picture quality is as good as any in my 4K collection. I have a 65" Sony XBR OLED, an OPPO 4K player, and a 5.1 system and this was absolute eye candy. We watched this twice the first week we got the movie. There is LOTS of action and we are eagerly waiting for #3 to hit the big screen. This is an amazing franchise so far.

    This release does not have dolby vision, but I honestly cannot imagine it looking any better with it on my 65" LG C2. The blacks are rich but there's undoubtedly great detail in the shadows with some really captivating gradients. Any improvement via DV is bound to be so marginal that you'd have to be looking for it side-by-side to care. This is what you show to people to demo your setup

    Avatar has finally come home on 4K Ultra HD courtesy of Disney with a excellent presentation minus DolbyVision. (Thanks Disney) this is the best way to view the film (theatrical version) for sure, but if you are looking for extras, you will be disappointed. Order the collectors edition that was released in 2012 for all the goodies that are included in that set. (Especially all 3 versions of the film)

    The audio and video of this movie are crazy good! I have an LG C1 and a Sonos 5.1 channel system and this is one of my favorite 4K discs to play to show off my setup. I do not have the same experience streaming this movie.. compression, buffering, and pixelation are awful compared to the disc version.
