lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,868 0 113 Oakridge, OR Jan 20, 2023 #43 Saw this this afternoon (3d in a mini Imax theater). The visuals are just amazing. The sound for the move fortunately wasn't played as loud as the f*cking previews and theater chain ads, where everyone was loudly complaining. I still think it was a tad hot....I pulled out my phone during mostly vocals in ads/previews and was getting like 10dB hot. Sucked. I think I'll drop a line to Regal about it, it was that annoying. The plot for this (and the obvious openings for Avatar 3), not nearly as good as simply the action. The preachy stuff was what it was (not that I disagree that James shouldn't take a poke at the mess). Reactions: Danzilla31

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,868 0 113 Oakridge, OR Jan 20, 2023 #44 Oh, and glad I saw that at the theater, my 3d setup isn't too bad in my bedroom (with a relatively short distance to screen compared to my living room), but this was just better with even the mini-imax sized screen (pretty much a normal mall theater screen size in their "main theater").

I haven't seen it outside of 3d, but did enjoy that aspect quite a bit (other than the usual wearing the glasses). Since its a major part of the film production I'd just prefer to use it and still have gear for it.....

T Trebdp83 Audioholic Spartan Oct 27, 2009 5,805 0 36 May 27, 2023 #53 It didn’t help that there were so many ways to see it. And, it doesn’t help that not all theaters are created equally. I suffered through 48fps in 3-D with “The Hobbit.” I wasn’t doing it again. Blu-ray supports 3-D at 24fps. 4K/UHD Blu-ray does not support 3-D at all. The 2D and 3D 1080p blu-rays of “Avatar:The Way of Water” do not have a Dolby Atmos tracks. As far as aspect ratio goes, the 4K/UHD release of “Avatar” will be open matte 1.78:1 like the blu-ray of so many years ago. It will have a Dolby Atmos track but no Dolby Vision. The “Avatar: The Way of Water” 4K/UHD release will be 1.85:1 so no 2.39:1 aspect ratio or 1.78:1 open matte. Same for Dolby Atmos but no Dolby Vision. So, the home release is about as big a mess as the theatrical release. Anybody who saw the high fame rate 3-D version in theaters simply will not be able to view it that way at home. Those with Dolby Vision or HDR10+ capability will have to settle for HDR10. Like Cameron movies of the past, expect different versions to come out periodically. I’ll be streaming this f#%ker on Disney+. I think I covered its production costs with all of the different versions of T2 I purchased over the years. I’m not going down that road again.

A major letdown is the public that can't keep their mouths shut. I've only been at movie theatres a handful of times the last two decades, and it's over a decade since last time I went there.

T Trebdp83 Audioholic Spartan Oct 27, 2009 5,805 0 36 Jun 7, 2023 #59 Ok, working now. Yeah, Apple TV 4K had Dolby Atmos label but didn’t work. Fire Cube and Roku Ultra had 5.1 label. Now, all have Dolby Atmos label and work. First movie was HD 5.1 until today and is now in 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos like The Way of Water. First movie is full screen 1.78: 1 and second is supposed to be 1.85:1 which looks identical to 1.90:1 Marvel IMAX aspect ratio movies. Reactions: snakeeyes and Trell

3db Audioholic Slumlord Sep 7, 2002 16,485 0 113 65 Ottawa Canada Jun 7, 2023 #60 I ordered the 4k/BluRay version today off of Amazon. Hopefully the soundtrack production on this disc will be good. I dont need 3D version as none of my displays support it. Besides looking thru cheesy plastic lenses seems to take away some of the detail.
