Review Detail

The glory of Avatar has always been in the spectacle. The story is derivative and predictable and many of the characters, particularly the villains, are 2 dimensional. While the film is still not prefect, Ninja-Trix's edit goes a long way to removing some of the tedium and makes the film much more enjoyable, bringing the quality of the narrative closer to its outstanding visuals.

The removal of most of Jake's narration is seamless and leaves the viewer with no missing information, proving how unnecessary it was and making for a much more interesting watch for the viewer. The extended edition added key scenes and Ninja-Trix has supplemented this well by including select deleted scenes that help the narrative and characters. The only flaw here is there is a slight downgrade in quality in some of these scenes, but this can't be considered Ninja-Trix's fault.

Thanks to this edit, my anticipation for the Avatar sequels (the first of which is finally due later this year) is much greater!
