If you didn't see "Avatar" last Winter, where were you? The sci-fi/fantasy flick starring Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver, fast became one of the top grossing films ever made, eventually eclipsing director James Cameron's own "Titanic" film from the '70s (starring Leonardo DiCaprio in his award-winning role which set him on course for recent hits like Shutter Island & Inception, see reviews next week!) to become the world's top-ever grossing motion picture. But, in case you missed it, "Avatar" is being re-released with 8 minutes of new footage in cinemas worldwide this August the 27th. Dubbed "Avatar: Special Edition", the new version will include never-before-seen scenes adding depth to characters and locations previously only skimmed upon, and thus setting up the inevitable DVD and BluRay re-release this Christmas. The original version of "Avatar" went down a hit in the UK, with myself giving it a 5/5 on the site, but whether 8 minutes of extra sci-fi goodness will detract from or add to the main experience (in 3-D only, it seems, this time) remains to be seen. Look for my review in early September!
