AvatarDVDBlu-ray by Joey Paur

Today Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announced that James Cameron's Avatar, will hit Blu-ray Disc and DVD on Thursday, April 22nd. This is the most successful film of all time and broke ground on the future of how we see movies from here on out.

I gotta be honest and tell you, as much as I enjoyed the movie, this is one I really have no desire to watch on DVD or Blu-ray. It just seems pale in comparison to how I saw it in IMAX 3D. It won't be as fun at home. Makes me wonder if the DVD / Blu-ray sales are going to be low.

Here is the full press release with the DVD Blu-ray specs.

AVATAR on Blu-ray presents the ultimate high definition experience for home viewing audiences. Fans around the world will soon be able to discover every detail and relive every moment of James Cameron’s AVATAR in the comfort of their own home. Blu-ray is recognized for presenting optimal picture and sound, and now AVATAR’s masterful cinematography, art direction and visual effects will lend itself to awe-inspiring clarity when you become absorbed in the extraordinary all-encompassing experience in the living room.

Since its global theatrical release last December, AVATAR has continued to make motion picture history. Written by James Cameron and produced with his long-time collaborator Jon Landau, AVATAR stars Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Wes Studi and Laz Alonso.

Oscar® and Golden Globe® winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.6 billion in worldwide box office. Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.
