And yes, I mean besides the extra scenes (which I thought did add to the movie, but that’s another topic). What I’m talking about is that it seemed slightly different in terms of the color, sharpness, and sound qualities. I’ve watched the original version around a dozen times on Blu-ray, and just watched the new edition on Blu-ray as well.
It’s tough to put my finger on, but some things that seemed different:
- The scenes inside the human buildings all seemed a little softer and less contrasty.
- Wild Pandora looked sharper and a little more saturated.
- The surround-sound seemed rounder. One spot in particular is when Neytiri (sp?) lands in the cave entrance as Jake goes to get his banshee, and when her banshee gives a little shriek I heard the sound echo down and back through the cave, when I’d never noticed that before.
Anyone else notice anything like this, or was I just paying extra attention this time looking for the new stuff?
