Given all the extra bit and pieces being added to Avatar seemingly all the time, I got to thinking...
"If I could cut Avatar any way I wanted to, how would I do it?" For me, the order of the film is pretty much right, except for a few changes. I, personally liked the 'Earth 2154' bit at the beginning, but I thought it changed the feel of the film's opening somewhat. I really loved the impact of the original fly-over that was the original & SE cuts. They had a lot more impact for me. So that intro sequence is a difficult one for me. Pretty much everything is right for most of it then... (Might I say, as i've not really discussed it much, having only seen the CE the other night, that the (even more) added things in the CE are really, really great. The dialogue between Grace and Jake about his new Na'vi lifestyle and what happened at the school really tugged hard on my heartstrings. )The only thing I would do - controversially. - is to put Tsu'tey's death before the final Jake/Quaritch faceoff. This was, again, another really brilliant scene that really did the great warrior he was justice and for me personally, it really had no effect on the 'I see you.' scene. However, I get this sense that had it been before the final fight, the fight itself would have had that little bit more gravity and drive behind it. Chased up by the 'I see you' scene, it would have been even more touching than it already is. That said, now i've seen it in the order it is - as they say on the internet - "What is seen cannot be unseen" so watching it in any other order now would seem a little weird.Anyway, how would all of you cut it? (Oh, also bearing in mind, you can include deleted scenes... which I haven't watched yet.)
