Avatar Is Gorgeous In Its Remastered State, Says James Cameron

Los Angeles, September 18 - The Oscar-winning filmmaker, James Cameron said that the remastered version of his all-time highest-grossing film Avatar (2009) is gorgeous and that he was surprised after rewatching it on the big screen.

The maverick filmmaker recently rewatched a fully remastered "Avatar" with his children, and it made him excited for the film’s upcoming rerelease in theaters. Cameron said that his kids have watched the movie on streaming or on Blu-ray, however, when they watched it on the big screen, they understood its grandeur a bit more.



"Avatar" is getting rereleased on September 23 worldwide, and Cameron hopes that the young movie fans, who "never had the opportunity to see it in a movie theater" will watch it now.

"Even though they think they may have seen the film, they really haven't seen it. And I was pleasantly surprised, not only at how well it holds up but how gorgeous it is in its remastered state", the filmmaker said in an interview with The New York Times (via THR).

"Avatar" follows Sam Worthington's Sully as he falls in love with Zoe Saldaña's Neytiri and their joint efforts to save Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system. Meanwhile, a sequel to "Avatar" - Avatar: The Way of Water is scheduled to release in December this year, followed by three more "Avatar" movies in the next 6 years.
