Have, despite having bought both the original release on Blu-ray plus 3D, and indeed the extended version, always, since its development wanted the 2009 Avatar on the 4k format. Strangely because of the delays in releasing The Way of Water, I haven't watched this one for several years as I wanted, though delayed, wished to watch the two on 4k back-to-back over a couple of evenings, at last I am able to. Often felt this the first in the series to be the best visual movie ever made, and have wondered how near visual perfection could possibly get even better even on the 4k format, truth is, both Blu-ray and 4k are an incredible watch, the constant special-effects simply stunning. The film tells of how former-marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) now disabled replaces his twin brother who had died on the Avatar programme on the moon Pandora. Mankind (The Sky People) are, without regard for the inhabitants of the planet, mining for the valuable mineral unobtanium, destroying the habitat of the Na'vi (the tree people) Jake's task will be in infiltrate and gain trust of the tribe to benefit the mining company. Jake's first encounter with the tribe will be with Zoe Saldana as Neytiri daughter of the Omaticaya clan's leaders. Neytiri will take Jake to meet her people and will be instructed to teach him of their culture and beliefs. Jake initially remains loyal to the mining company and its military leader /security Colonel Miles Quaritch, (Stephen Lang) bur, eventually grows to love Neytiri and her people and indeed their way of life However, the ruthless Colonel believing he can win, in effect makes war on Omaticaya clan. Jake has to decide where his loyalty lies. Also starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine, an exobiologist and head of the Avatar Program. And yes, I am watching both Avatar movies over the weekend. This, the first, is in my opinion the better of the two, though both visually stunning movies are in my view 'A MUST WATCH'

Cameron and his legion of CGI experts and skilled craftspeople have delivered a lovely, misty, dangerous world.

The most-hyped movie of the year just about merits it.

Avatar is a joyous celebration of story craft and the visual possibilities of cinema. Cameron had set his sights on taking the technology of film where no one had gone before. And he delivers. Avatar is stunning. Cameron and Peter Jackson's Weta Digital h

I have seen the future of movies, and it is Avatar.

Even with its simplistic plot, Avatar is a stunning achievement in next-level cinematic bravado. Watch it on the biggest screen possible. Prepare to be blown away.

Overall, Avatar was really about the jaw-dropping visual effects--that's the great thing about it.

Rewatching it with fresh eyes 10 years later, the movie's pluses and minuses both rise into much starker relief. The verdict: It's...fine.

Ed Koch
In my opinion, Avatar has been hyped beyond the point of forgiveness.

Learning your visuals from Jack Kirby is one thing, but too often it sounds like Cameron learned to write dialogue from the guy too.

Simon Abrams
Cameron knows the viewer will recognize Avatar's story from elsewhere, whether as the love affair between John Smith and Pocahontas or almost all of Ferngully and so tries to dazzle the viewer with "shock and awe."

David Edelstein
The narrative would be ho-hum without the spectacle. But what spectacle! Avatar is dizzying, enveloping, vertiginous ... I ran out of adjectives an hour into its 161 minutes.

I had the feeling coming out of this movie that I haven't felt since maybe I was eleven years old in 1977 and I saw Star Wars for the first time.

It's a remote-control movie experience, a high-tech "wish you were here" scribbled on a very expensive postcard.

Cameron and his artists have so lovingly imagined the moon of Pandora that every shot of the film contains new wonders.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
It is cool. But all this "change the way you look at films" hype is just that. While Avatar is impressively seamless, you're never fooled. This doesn't look like a documentary film; it looks like a video game.

It's not just that we've seen the tale before… it's that every aspect of the screenplay is terrible.

Nell Minow
The story is just a scaffolding for the world-building. That may make it more of an experience than a movie, but the experience is a fun place to visit.

Pandora is still a good place to park yourself for three hours.
