By: Carmine Pascuzzi

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announced that it will begin the global rollout of the Blu-ray Disc and DVD of Director James Cameron’s history-making motion picture AVATAR commencing April 21 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.

The must-own AVATAR Blu-ray release provides the ultimate high definition experience for home viewing audiences. Recognised for its optimum picture and sound, the film’s masterful cinematography, art direction and visual effects lends itself to awe-inspiring clarity when viewed on Blu-ray Disc.

Since its global theatrical release last December, AVATAR continues to make motion picture history. The Golden Globe and Oscar winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.6 billion in worldwide box office, with $1.9 billion derived from international markets. Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilisation.

Written by Cameron and produced with his long-time collaborator Jon Landau, AVATAR stars Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver; as well as Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi and Joel David Moore.
