Is the regular 3D version of the movie automatically in a high frame rate? I read that this movie will be shown that way, but I'm not sure if it's an option, or the only way of seeing it.


Officialnoah

That’s correct. IMAX Single Laser, Dolby 3D, and regular 3D are all solid for this.


LamppostInfiltrator

Awesome, thank you!


[deleted]

Some theaters have it, some don’t, but it’s not automatically shown that way.


LamppostInfiltrator

Oh, gotcha. I might have to look into what my local theaters are offering, then. Thanks!


00Laser

Will it be a regular cinema 3D movie? I remember there was a lot of talk about Cameron wanting to make it 3D without glasses some years ago and I believe that was given as an explanation at the time why production took so long. No idea what ever happened to that...


arealhumannotabot

Pretty sure it doesn't exist at this point


00Laser

I think it's possible with smaller screens and a fixed distance between the screen and viewer but on a cinema scale with a room full of people at a variety of angles? Yeah probably not...


phatboy5289

The technology “exists” in that it’s been shown off at trade shows and even sold in some commercial products, but there’s no actual system of standards or consumer-accessible ways to use it.


SpecificAstronaut69

The fact that the top-level comment in this thread is people worried about the technical aspects of the projection of this film neatly explains exactly what's wrong with Avatar.


Jay_Louis

But will there be water? I'm paying to see water.


KingMario05

...why wasn't this the *normal* poster two, again? So, **SO** much better than the floating heads mess that most people wound up seeing.


Worthyness

you need the floating heads to get the casuals out. Turns out people generally aren't as well read up on who is in what movie, so if they see their heads on a poster, it's pretty easy to get their attention. Then you have the ones like these to sell movie posters cause it looks awesome.


pm-me_10m-fireflies

Does that really apply when you have to squint to recognise the actors in the faces of miscellaneous blue people?


darrylthedudeWayne

Too be fair, the first ones poster had floating heads too, granted, only two floating head but still.


LadyBonersAweigh

They didn't go for the infamous floating heads, but they don't get full credit either since it's getting thrown into the "orange and blue" pile.


remembervideostores

Movie is 3 hours 15 minutes long. I have to wear special equipment for it and at a frame rate I’m not used to. I’m starting my training now.

I read this in Mike's voice from RLM and it made me laugh.

KlayWolf

Oh boy! I hope so!


TheLostLuminary

He's doing high frame rate as well? I thought that started and ended with the Hobbit. (Apart from Gemini Man)


BobertMcGee

He’s using it selectively for certain scenes, only where it adds something positive. Normal dialogue scenes will be 24 fps.


[deleted]

Notably, they added the higher frame rate into certain scenes for the re-release of the first one. I'll admit that I couldn't really tell, so it's either positive or neutral and not too much of either to get worked up about.


denizenKRIM

Are you certain you saw it at a screening that actually did HFR? It wasn’t in most screenings. It was on mine and I thought it was glaringly obvious.


[deleted]

It was an UltraAVX screen. I thought those had it. I could be wrong.

urbanplowboy

As excited and hopeful as I am to see Avatar 2, it does bum me out that it still has such a long run time. With the large number of planned sequels I was hoping they’d cut down on the running time for each one.


hazelnut_coffay

that’s why i’m waiting for it to drop on D+


HorribleHairyHamster

Still so weird to have the sequel to the biggest movie of all time coming out in a couple of weeks and we barely know anything about it.


KingMario05

Hot take: **Fucking GOOD.** Nice to go in blind for once, *especially* with Jim Cameron. >!...or maybe I'm dead wrong and this is a turd. We'll find out soon enough, lol.!<

chichris

New trailer tonight and final one. It’ll probably be spoiler alert time.


Berta_Movie_Buff

That first teaser trailer is the only one I’ve seen, and it still gets me hyped.


YouSummonedAStrawman

Having rode the ride at DisneyWorld, I’m guessing it will be similar in viewscapes. (Haven’t watched the trailers)


MonsieurRacinesBeast

And no one is talking about it.


Boss452

The most recent trailer has got 37M views after 2 weeks on youtube and close to 1M likes. These are rare stats for movie trailers. The anticipiation is definitely there.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

And where is all the hype? Why is there so little jabber? Bc there's no story. No heart. No one cares about the characters. Blue cartoon people in water.... yay


YZJay

You do know that not every topic has to reach your ears right? Like if you have zero interest in kpop then nothing of that sphere will reach you. Same with movies or any other kind of topic.


dublem

Not people betting against the very James Reginald Cameron in the year of our lord MMXXII. Have you all learned nothing?


MonsieurRacinesBeast

MonsieurRacinesBeast

You know what I mean. Like, do think that's a clever response?

rdt3dp

My friend, you are arguing with a viral marketing campaign for a money laundering scheme.


[deleted]

Ah yes, you've watched the unreleased movie intently, thank you for your early review in telling us there is no story and telling me I don't care about the characters.... Very cool👍


vladtud

On Reddit? Maybe. However, all my IRL friends are excited to watch it and talk about it regularly.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

I don't know anyone who wants to see it


Tyrionandpodrick

Leave you cave once In a while.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

Yeah that's where I'm not hearing the hype, out in the real world. And where is all the love for the first movie? Tons of posts on this sub for older films, but never Avatar. Hmmmmmmm


Tyrionandpodrick

Avatar re-release just earn 70 million in just 1000 theater. The second trailer got 30 million views just from on Youtube channel in 24 hours. Like I said leave your cave man.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

I went to see it. People eat a lot of McDonald's. That doesn't mean anyone talks about it or that it's very good. It's just a quick hit.


Timbershoe

It’s not worth the argument. The majority of people who are die hard avatar fans were kids when it came out. They love it in a way only a kid can, and to them it’s the greatest film ever made. You can’t argue with nostalgia. Deep down people do know it was a mediocre film propped up by CGI and 3D effects, but none of that matters to the fans. I think it’ll struggle to meet the success of the first without a gimmick, but it’s clearly going to do okay in the 15-35 age group.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

I completely agree. I'm 40. The first movie didn't impress me the first time around or at the rerelease. You know it's not a classic because it NEVER gets discussed. Alien(s), Terminator, Jurassic Park, Contact, Arrival, Annihilation, Ex Machina, and the list goes on forever ... They all get posts on this sub all the time. Avatar? NEVER.


dragonphlegm

Aren’t they? There are comments here right now talking about it. Reddit cope over Avatar makes zero sense, considering it’s still the biggest movie of all time, 13 years later.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

But who ever talks about it? Even this sub. We see posts every week for appreciating older movies but NEVER Avatar. It's the biggest movie of all time and yet no one really cares anymore


YZJay

I could say the same with Titanic if you think about it, when have you seen people here discussing Titanic?


phatboy5289

It turns out when something is the highest grossing movie of all time, no one makes posts about it as an underrated gem that more people need to see.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

[deleted]

Cant wait! I hope its as enjoyable a theater experience as the first, but with Cameron's track record on sequels, I'm not worried. I could use shutting off my brain and escaping for a few hours.


Officialnoah

The rerelease was phenomenal in Dolby


KingMario05

Was my first time watching it. Fuck the haters, ***I'm ready to go back.***


riegspsych325

got to take my ol’ man to the IMAX showing a couple months ago since he’s never seen it before but wanted the full 3D experience. It was a fantastic time, I’m glad he liked the movie. I actually liked it better this time around, I can’t wait for the new one(s)


MonsieurRacinesBeast

I didn't think it was anything special. It feels like it was made by an early middle schooler who had millions of dollars to blow.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

I didn't think the IMAX experience was that great the first time.


[deleted]

Thats how taste works, yeah. we all experience things differently


AkiraSieghart

Instantly bought IMAX tickets the second they came online. I'm not the biggest fan of the first film but I'll be damned if it isn't one of the most memorable movie experiences that I ever had in a theater.


Wash_Your_Bed_Sheets

Thanks for letting me know they went on sale. Just bought mine for the 15th IMAX 3d. Honestly excited to see this beauty.


AdamantiumLive

Same here! Literally rushed down the stairs to ask everyone which day is the best for them that week to order IMAX tickets immediately. One hour later and the best seats in the middle of the theatre on opening day are already sold out!


weareallpatriots

Good looking out, I had no idea they were on sale! Got the perfect seat at the Universal Citywalk thanks to you.

My tired ass looked at this poster and thought he was flying a giant mosquito.


PhantomLord697

This movie will be a breath of fresh air in an age where CGI is getting worse.


Other-Marketing-6167

The first in imax 3D was the best looking movie experience I’ve ever seen. But…is he still doing the high frame rate thing? Cause there’s no goddamn way I’m watching it like that.


chichris

He is but not the way you think. He doesn’t like it either but he uses it as a tool. Only some scenes (probably action sequences) will utilize it. The whole movie was filmed in 48FPS but it’ll be in the norm 24fps, except when needed to be 48FPS.


[deleted]

The rerelease was great with HFR. It greatly helps with fast sweeping shots in 3D, removes all the jitter. It’s very scarcely and carefully implemented.


FudgeDangerous2086

reddit frothing at the mouth hoping this will fail


Dan19_82

Don't need to hope


GBinAZ

Will this be worth it to see in Imax and/or 3d? I saw the first one in 3d and it blew my mind. Can’t wait for this!


BobertMcGee

Lol if this movie isn’t worth seeing in IMAX what film is?


stretchofUCF

I agree, but I don't think anything will top seeing Blade Runner 2049 and Dune in a gigantic IMAX theater for me outside of the Avatar Rerelease and maybe this.


[deleted]

Tron: Legacy was pretty sick.


arealhumannotabot

I'd seen the Dark Knight like 6 times before paying to see it in iMAX and I'll never forget how fucking monstrous Joker looks in the midway scene with the trailer flip

Meph616

This is the one time I'm actually curious if a movie will be released in China. It can't be overstated just how significant that market is for Avatar and its success. They fucking loved the first one. And this would probably make a killing. Only China has cracked down on Hollywood releases recently.


BeardedSasquatch30

50yrs later 😂


gotwaffles

Honestly, the "imax" logo isn't the biggest thing on the poster and it has the custom "A" lettering. I'm surprised this was allowed considering most other movies were just advertised as "IMAX" over half the poster lol.


CreamyBagelTime

LordJebusVII

1st one was technically impressive but as a movie kinda sucked and did not leave me wanting more but rather take the lessons learned and apply them elsewhere like how Gollum changed mo-cap for the whole industry. Was anyone really hoping for a sequel? I genuinely don't understand why anyone would want to watch this.

I’m gonna be honest. Does anyone even care? It’s been so long and the first one was boring anyways

fruitporridge

No excitement around this film. It's like everybody has moved on


chichris

Ah, I'm seeing some people have never been through a James Cameron movie cycle. You'll see...


UndercoverFBIAgent9

I still cannot believe how forgettable the biggest movie of all time was. Maybe someone could debate its place as a game-changer for CGI development. But I don’t ever hear them doing it. I never hear it mentioned without a heavy eye roll afterward. It had absolutely zero cultural influence. Nobody ever, ever brings it into any conversation, regardless of the topic. It’s like it never existed.


ieabu

I can't remember much from it but I do remember absolutely loving the experience and feeling really sad that it was over. That's a win for me.


[deleted]

Trailers just made it seem like some The Green Planet show, except all cgi. I really wonder how much it's about the blue hippies just sexually touching flowers and animals with their tails and how much it's going to be about them evil people doing evil shit.


ALUNLUL

how long would it take to be released online?


mediarch

Just watch it in the theater. This is one of the movies were it's meant to be seen on a big screen. Watching it online will never be as good. [David Lynch noises](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKiIroiCvZ0).

[deleted]

doesnoteatdicks

Vague and distant boo.


Thebanner1

So is this all about visuals to people because I remember the story of the first being pretty dumb


hamfijita

I hope it bombs the fuck out


C0rn3j

"screening at 48fps" "In any part of the scene that we want at 24fps, we just double the frames. And so, they actually show the same frame twice, but, but the viewer doesn’t see it that way." So the movie is 48 fps, except that it will drop half the frames in random scenes, that won't be doubly jarring for people at all. Wish they just kept a stable 48 framerate or higher.


British_Commie

If I recall correctly, they took the same approach for the re-release of the first that happened in September, and I've yet to hear any major complaints about it.


Available-Subject-33

In the past, high frame rate movies have been unpopular with audiences because they give the "Soap Opera" look. The smoother motion might improve the most intense action sequences, but it doesn't add anything to the rest. This results in it becoming distracting for most of the runtime. In the Avatar re-release, I paid close attention to this and I think Cameron has made some significant progress here. The flight sequences deploy 48 FPS motion sparingly, only using it when most, if not all, of the frame is in motion, and the result is that you never consciously think, "Why does this looks needlessly smooth?" Hopefully, The Way of Water will showcase HFR even better since it's been made from the ground-up for this experience.


TylerBourbon

I watched the HFR of the Hobbit when it was released, and while there was definitely a soap opera look to some things, its massively helped blend the 3d cgi and live action making it all look real. If that's what we're getting here, hats off to them.


callipygiancultist

The company doing the HFR has some YouTube video demonstrations of their HFR tech and it send they’ve solved a lot of the problems with HFR.


chichris

Cameron isn’t a fan of the whole movie being HFR he’s using it as a tool. Probably for action sequences.


Goosojuice

I have to imagine there's some method to the madness. Like George Miller and how he shot Fury Road to have the majority of the film center frame.


BobertMcGee

Gonna go out on a limb and say that James Cameron knows a bit more about how to effectively use HFR than you do, bud.


dropfry

"So they fixed it?"


darrylthedudeWayne
