So, I just got back from seeing the rerelease after pretty much completely losing interest in all things Avatar (I know, I know, it's a crime D: ) and I'll just say that it was amazing!!! I felt completely invigorated after seeing it and the new footage really added to the movie in my opinion.
I laughed when Neytiri said that. I thought it was cute that she copied him. One of my issues with her is that I never really understood why she liked Jake and that she doesn't really show that she does, and that sort of showed a very small glimpse that she may even look up to him (which is kinda ironic, lol).
And, guh, that scene with Tsu'tey. I got a little teary eyed, which is really saying something, cause I do NOT cry in theaters XD. I thought it was neat with the whole "last shadow" thing and the acting was pretty good there.
I was also afraid that the love scene was going to be really awkward, but it wasn't at all. It was exactly what it needed to be, no more. Really glad I got to see it!! And the theater was absolutely packed much to my surprise! It's great to see that so many people love the movie enough to see the rerelease. I heard these two guys talking behind me that, not meaning to be stereotypical or anything, didn't exactly look like the type of people who would care about this type of thing, talking about which of the new scenes were their favorite, so it was obvious they'd seen it more than once. Pretty cool. :)

I had a similar experience. :hmm: Two middle-aged women were in the row infront of me talking about Neytiri's sister after the film ended. I was like...people care? :awesome:

I am in college now and can't see it :'(:'(:'(

Was there any new music?

So I just got back from seeing the re-release as well.

Mind Blown. :shock:

All the added footage made it seem like the original theatrical release had some plot holes, at least to me it felt that way.

Every bit of new footage was brilliant. The extended love scene was perfect, random bits here and there were great as well, a couple scenes were unexpected.

All in all it was another wonderful experience, and I can't wait for the special edition on Blu-ray in November.:)

No. Most of it was reused, like "War" during the Sturmbeest hunt.

I'm sorry... I just never understood it; that'd probably be why I said something that sounded... insensitive. But yes, ok. I do understand mostly, now. :)


@Earthlover: Ironically, though the hunt scene was my most favorite of the additional material, it was my least favorite, musically. I was really really really really really really really really REALLY hoping that the music editors would include THIS cue:







But they didn't. :angry::angry::angry::facepalm:


But I did find the additional music added for the extended love scene to be quite pretty. They actually used one of the cues that was included in the soundtrack, that wasn't used in the actual movie before. :)

Other than that, that's all. :S

Well towards the end, when you know what happened, the song "Bioluminescence of the Night" off the OST played. I always wondered why that song was on the CD but not in the movie. :)

Arrrgh, you're right! I thought that was Becoming One with Neytiri. I think my ears are broken. :P:S

That music cue for The Hunt fits the scene so much better and leads into the next scene perfectly. It is a variance on the War music, not as much percussion and more horn. I hope they change the score and the movie when they put it on dvd to add that music in.

Indeed! The hunt scene was definitely the best part. It was the one thing that I believe fit into the movie perfectly. Very glad JC put that in there. :D

Semi off topic:
When I saw it the other night, every frame seemed to speak to me. I couldn't help thinking "OH, that's 'so and so's' picture on Tree of Souls" when certain screencaps went by throughout the film. :D

DAMMMMM!!!! I've not heard :shock: that one & got chills deep playing it!!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT!!!!!!!!

:party::party:

Do you have a MP3 of that??? Me WANT!!!!!

Here's a free MP3 download: Link

THANK YOU!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool:

I "know" that it's not really in the SE release, but between which 2 songs "should" it be put? My MP3 player awaits........

Yep, ditto for me! :)

HELL YEAH!

I literally just got back from it. I laughed out loud when she said that and thought "she did not just say that!" XD
