Mere end 100 dage har folket måtte vente, men fra næste uge kan tredje kapitel af Avatar endelig ses i stuen og hjemmebiografen – for første gang i HDR-kvalitet i Danmark.

Disneys Avatar: Fire and Ash får global hjemmepremiere den 31. marts i digitale filmbutikker som Apple TV og Blockbuster. Filmen kan forudbestilles nu til 149 kroner.

Det er købsprisen. Filmen kommer først senere til leje.

149 kroner er samme pris, som da Avatar: The Way of Water udkom i 2023. Toeren fik endnu længere biografeksklusivitet (111 dage) end Avatar: Fire and Ash, som har fået 104 dage.


4K HDR med Dolby Atmos
Ingen danske biografer kan fremvise film i HDR med udvidet dynamik i lys og farver, men når filmen kommer hjem i stuen kan du nyde alle 3 timer og 17 minutters underholdning i fuld flor med 4K-opløsning, Dolby Vision HDR og Dolby Atmos-lyd.

Toeren solgte biografbilletter for 2,32 mia. dollar verden over, mens treeren indtil videre har omsat for ca, 1,5 mia. dollar. Skaber og instruktør James Cameron har sagt, at film nummer 4 og 5 er betinget af Avatar: Fire and Ash's succes.

Efter den digitale premiere den 31. marts går der yderligere halvanden måned før Avatar: Fire and Ash kan købes på Blu-ray og UHD Blu-ray (med Dolby Vision, 100GB disc) fra 19. maj. Filmen kommer senere på Disney+, men datoen er ikke oplyst – med toeren gik der over 2 måneder.


Hvad med HFR?
Avatar: Fire and Ash er – sammen med Avatar: The Way of Water – en af de få film, der er skabt i high frame rate (HFR), altså højere billedfrekvens på 48fps mod normale 24fps. Det er 3D-udgaven, der fremvises på denne måde.

Avatar: The Way of Water er udgivet i HFR eksklusivt i Apple Vision Pro. Der er indtil videre ingen bekræftelse med hensyn til Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Meta har forsøgt at byde sig til gennem et tættere samarbejde med James Camerons Lightstorm Vision-studie, men ingen Meta Quest headset har hardware-dekodning af MV-HEVC, hvilket er påkrævet til 4K 3D 48fps, og LCD-skærmene i Meta Quest kan slet ikke vise 4K eller HDR.

Der kommer en 3D Blu-ray udgivelse, men den vil være begrænset til 1080p, SDR og 24fps, som dikteret af 3D Blu-ray specifikationen.
