That quick he got his copy? Well Worth The Double Dip "I purchased the stand-alone version when it was released earlier this year, knowing quite well that I would be purchasing this version, too. Some movies are simply worth the double dip, and this is one of them. There are about 8-9 hours of extras to sift through, plus three versions of the movie: the theatrical release, the special edition re-release and the director's cut with approximately 16-17 more minutes added back into the film. Without a doubt, this is the version that will peak most people's interest. Of the additional 16 minutes, approximately 6 of them are spent on an extended opening sequence on earth. The opening scenes are very reminiscent of Blade Runner in appearance and feel: the world is overcrowded, dark, and drenched in dazzling neon. Jake Sully is every bit as ruined and depressed as the world that surrounds him. The opening sequence helps evolve his character a little more. There is another added scene later in the movie that concerns a school where Grace (Sigourney Weaver) taught the Navi how to speak english. A backstory explains how the rift between the the human settlers and the Navi became violent and deadly. There are some interesting side stories touched upon in the director's cut (Neytiri had a sister), but nothing that dramatically changes or alters the overall movie itself. Most of the other added material are extended scenes and more dialog. Of course, the PQ is top notch reference material stuff. If there is any difference between the first release and this one in PQ, I cannot see it. Colors are incredibly rich and robust, blacks are deep and the movie has an almost 3-D quality to it. This version is definitely worth the upgrade. After watching several of the deleted scenes, I wish they had added those back into the film, as well." |

QUOTE(faidzal1982 @ Nov 13 2010, 11:22 PM) hey guys... long time didnt follow this thread... Usually Amazon will ask you to keep it as a "gift". If Poslaju, they will leave u a note to pick up. If normal Pos Malaysia, they should leave you a note stating to pick up from the office assigned. Usually i will pick up from Poslaju as they leave note on my doorstep. Whether its an apartment, condo ..they should leave you a note.wanna ask u guys questions... my very first order i placed at amazon us last july just arrived... after 4 months only arrived...
