Our reviewer’s opinion on the sequel”Avatar – Departure for Pandora(USA 2009) Thinking about what the equipment has to offer and how it judges the quality of the picture and sound, you can Read in full here. His final verdict:

James Cameron’s first sequel “Avatar” certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in terms of content, once again packing classic narrative structures into a colorful CGI world. It’s obviously technically advanced here, but it also has to accept criticism: because you’re often switching between animation and a video game look, which then contrasts several sections with almost realism. High contrast colors and often highly detailed images make it easy to overlook some of the softer settings. If the visuals are entirely commendable, Disney should be blamed for the audio implementation in terms of sync: because how can you not outfit one of the three most successful blockbusters currently of all time with 3D audio in as many languages ​​as possible? Especially because “Avatar” has always been seen as a pioneer or driving force for new technologies. Fortunately, the classic audio formats still work very well, and the modern English Dolby Atmos track on UHD isn’t quite as convincing as it’s ultimately supposed to be. At 195 minutes, the main movie already offers plenty of entertainment, which also doesn’t go by too long – even if that didn’t mean the tightening up wouldn’t have done the movie well, some sections are entertaining, but not necessarily important to the story. If you want to stay longer in the world of Pandora after that, you can lose yourself in the bonus material, which has a similarly long playtime. Fans can also be excited to see how the adventure of Jack Sully and his family continues – even if there has been a delay again recently, other branches of the franchise won’t be long in coming. And perhaps well-calculated distances are better than the constant presence that you are tired of.
