Did you see Avatar in the cinema? You know, with the silly 3D glasses on and hundreds of sheep people looking on in awe? Chances are you did… we all did. And if you didn’t see it in cinemas you most likely got the DVD or Blu-ray the day it came out or soon thereafter. Numbers indicate we all saw Avatar at some point. The big question is: would you pay money to go see it in the cinemas again, if you had the chance? Fox thinks you will. Fox are probably right.
The wise and powerful Mr. James Cameron has mistakenly thought he could fix/improve Avatar by adding eight whole minutes of never-before-seen extra footage that didn’t make it into the original cut and re-release the entire film to 3D cinemas across the globe– less than a year after it was originally released.
In some cities (like Sydney), the original film is still running. Avatar is already the highest grossing film of all time, who knows when it will stop making money. I should be baffled, disgruntled and scratching my head in confusion, but this makes sense. Heck, even I’m considering seeing it again, and I didn’t enjoy it like most people did.
If you’re a fellow Australian, you can catch Avatar in 3D again on 26 August 2010. The other international re-release dates, announced by Fox today, are listed below.

ENOUGH WITH AVATAR. I've had enough…
I most definitely agree.
I'm actually pretty happy about this. When I saw it in the cinemas I had a shocking hangover which made watching it a very painfull experience. 3D + Battle scenes + hangover = Stomach churning in overtime.
Adding eight minutes to a movie that was already too long by an hour is the dumbest idea I've heard all day. To be fair, I just woke up, but still. Seems awful silly.
Hell yeah! I missed seeing it a second time around and yet to pick it up on home release. Ill go watch it again i thought id lost my chance
I do hope that 8 minutes includes a Jar Jar Binks like character filled with innocence and wonder so the younger kiddies have a fully relatable character they can buy…er …bond with. Meesa love Pandora!
