    And on this trailer at 1:02 as well as lots of other places:

    As I noted, it is "digital."
    I take you are talking about the "gaps" in the animation, almost like they have left out multiple frames in the editing process.....?

    Toddalin your a spoil sport. Every movie has whoops in it. My favorite is the guy in Sparticus wearing a wrist watch. Or the T2 windsheild on the truck. You can't start picking this type of movie apart. You have to go in on autopilot. Just enjoy the ride.

    Sounds OK to me.

    Nope, but I think that Rob may have picked up on it.

    I got Spartacus on DVD I haven’t noticed the wristwatch yet? Do you know what part in the film?

    I thought this was rather funny.

    Okay in one of the battles I’ll keep an eye out for that.

    I’d have to look foreground middle and background.

    I guess they could use digital means to remove the (wristwatch) today where’s back then they could paint it with animation frame by frame.

    I’m kinder curious as to what year this was first noticed?

    They've mentioned this on the Universal Studio Tours every time I've been on it from way back when I was a kid.

    The "discontinuity" in Avatar is nothing like what happened in Ben Hur, (and who knows with T2). This reoccurs throughout the movie and was obviously a conscious decision made at the upper levels before any shooting began knowing that some would catch it, but most wouldn't.

    I can view this over and over on the pc on the Panasonic and on the video projector and I still might not notice it. There is just so much happening in the battle scene moments.

    The moment that stands out is “I’m Spartacus” as he turns around and realizing his men are willing to sacrifice themselves for him. Now that is one cool moment. “I’m Spartacus”! – “I’m Spartacus”! -“I am Spartacus”!

    I guess the battle is no different than today expect they used real fire on those logs! Damn! Hope the stunt men wasn’t injured that looks risky! Today they’d use CGI fire in some parts to see if they can fool the audience.

    The fire in some parts of Backdraft was bit phoney as it was in T2 and I am Legend and many more.

    Fire is very tricky element as we’re aware of what it looks like in its natural form. Was fire used in Avatar?

    Just like water it’s a tricky thing and they have designed special software and I have no doubt part of its now obsolete and replaced with updated software. Then again filming models in water is also tricky the scale model verses water needs to filmed at different speed or a very large model but still I’ve noticed it on “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “The Abyss” not so much with “Titanic” or “Poseidon”. Then again “The Poseidon Adventure” it sticks out on the opening with waves crashing against the ocean liner.

    Brought the Avatar James Horner CD sounds good on the JBL in Dolby stereo
    Price was £9.99 from HMV (Castle Point shopping centre). I think the prices have dropped by as much as £6.00 new movie soundtrack releases where often around £15 which average cost of DVD or a few odd Bluray but the odd common CD is only 2 channels.

    I love the first track...but I have a...sample copy...so not sure if the bass is clipped. How does it sound on CD? How are the rest of the tracks?

    No notable audible distortion at any level if you get what I mean.

    I noticed the depth is deep on track. I kinder like giving outer space deepness the track give. I really don’t know how the music is used to the images I can take a few guesses??

    I’d have to find some time to send the sub bass extension to spectrumlab to see how far down the scale the lows play.

    The sample copy might have been recorded too high, while some portions of the mix give that clipping (clicking snap crackle and pop) sound that I have noticed on few films Apollo 13 (1995) dts laserdisc for short 1 second same as on the DVD and no doubt it would be on the so called perfect bluray format so don’t be fooled for moment!

    Same thing with Armageddon (1998) Dolby digital, has few now and the seconds of (clicking snap crackle and pop) and it really takes the piss!
