I'll definitely be heading out to see this with some family members before Christmas.
The last time I dipped my toe into some 3D waters was with the JAWS (3D conversion) big screen release earlier this year, and I'm looking forward to getting fully immersed in the cinematic depths of AVATAR 2's lush oceanic settings too.
But I'm going to fit in a re-watch of the 'Extended Collector's Edition' cut of the original movie at some point first, as it's been years since I've seen it. It's the only version I'd ever re-watch, due to the additional 'Future Earth' scenes which introduce Jake Sully's character in a much better way at the beginning, and gives a neat juxtaposition between our planet's over-populated, hi-tech lifestyle and the simpler beauty of Pandora's tribes and nature.
Just as with the restored ending for THE ABYSS Special Edition, the re-instated sequences at the start of AVATAR in this version make for a much more satisfying watch overall, I find. Just a pity they were ditched for the theatrical showings in the first place.
