Just incredible. They delivered a movie that lived 100% in their heads and hearts. Running around that sterile room in suits, the level of emotion and presence they delivered when they had ZERO setting, almost ZERO costuming, and all the equipment interfering between the actors’ faces… It’s just incredible. Other situations, you can feel your character can come alive once you put that costume on or step on that fully decorated set. By contrast this movie was fully carried in the imaginations of the cast & team. The amount of focus and presence this required is just so impressive.
Her crying over her fathers death and seeing the raw emotion from jakes ‘betrayal’ had me crying she was so perfect for the role and im so excited to the the BTS for way of water
This has probably got to be one of the hardest things these actors have had to do. Being in a stage room is one thing, but to have to do that for most scenes not knowing the full scale of what their movie environment will look like is another. These actors had to put so much effort into every movement, reaction and expression, and it still boggles my mind. The second movie will definitely be full of more surprises! ☺️
The set and the suits and the dots on their faces it all looks so ridiculous but they were so focused on the story they were trying to tell and they absolutely aced it. The acting is just amazing
I am surprised they didn't laugh when guys with sticks were running nearby or jolting the stick during the scene where Neytiri was preparing to shoot Jake
Sorry, but nothing big :) I have seen Kashmiri Muslim women crying EXACTLY same way (As Zoe did as Neytiri) when their jihadi husbands are killed by Indian security forces.

For 2009, this was an amazingly beautifully done movie. I mean honestly just looking behind the scenes is honestly so cool. The movie came out so damn good and I still love and watch it to this day
@@Milyawen yeah no shit, I'm saying that compared to all the other movies that came out in 2009, this one was very well made and well done for it's time and still is. I know that it's a good movie for 2022 cause all the other movies that've come out this year suck. But for 2009, Avatar looks like a movie that would've come out this year instead of the year it did.
6:26 I really love this segment of the movie. The way she acts, her facial movements, synchronized to the movie so well. One of the reasons why Zoe is such a great actress.
They were doing all of this amazing acting with just rough storyboard references and looking at abstract shapes and imagining the rest while inside a studio environment. That's incredible.
as a kid i freaking loved the beginning of the movie where they’re all floating in their water tank things. everyone says this movie sucks but i highly disagree
I think they’re referring to The Last Airbender movie which was based on the animated series (Avatar: The Last Airbender), not this Avatar movie. The Last Airbender was horrible…
The acting is insanely, unspeakably, amazingly, crazy, idk how they act out all of this with nearly nothing to work with, it’s insane they all have to imagine all of this in their head
*sat in my mother's arms and watched this at three years old - she tells me i never once looked away from the screen. "avatar" is and always will be my most memorable and my most valued experience at the cinema👌🏾👌🏾*
Dude, you were 3, you don't remember shit lmao. Explicit memories don't start until about 7 years of age. At best, you'd POSSIBLY recall some blue looking characters on a big screen. You think you could comprehend any part of a movie or a plot at 3 years old? xD
@@G82Jesse that is why i literally said i remember watching the film *obviously NOT from start to finish*. i never said anything about comprehending what i was watching.
@@jnne4048 "my most memorable and my most valued experience at the cinema" lol big time doubt. Hell I was 14 when this movie came out. Literally half my entire life ago, and I only vaguely remember it from the theater itself. I've seen the movie like 5x since 2009. A lot better of a viewing experience at home, when it isn't a 15yr old memory..
Great acting by all. But Zoe Saldana took it to another level. Wow. When she cried, I cried. Lol. I was thinking this woman had the nerve to make me cry. 😂
Awesome movie. Probably the first original idea out of hollywood in 20yrs. Enjoyed the critters. Many of them are straight out of alan dean fosters books.
Not so much the plot, but how well they executed it yes. The plot is a glorified Pocahontas but instead of native Americans are aliens lol. And the way they shot the movie has been done before in Beowulf. But this movie is the best to have done it.
Yes.... But the plot is pretty basic.... But it's like what my GF told me once... "It's not always what you say that matters but how you do it matters more" lol
@@madisonfire-nielsen9014 Avatar wasn’t the first movie to use a similar plot of another movie. It’s literally been done hundreds of times. I don’t get why all the sudden people crap on Avatar’s story…
Seeing this merely exemplifies what amazing Actors these folks are. They are performing in a warehouse, clad in garbage acting their asses off. RESPECT!!!!
Zoe is an AMAZINGLY underrated actor! Like she really embodies strong characters very well really whatever she does is in it 1000%! Her Johnny Depp, Eddy Murphy, and Westley Snipes and a few others i cant remember their names are very immersive actors that you believe they ARE the character. Deserve ALL the oscars! She should have gotten an oscar for this performance.
I would watch the whole movie in mocap if I could, the acting is just phenomenal and so are the effects. Had to laugh at the people running around with sticks for some of the animals though.
Zoe Saldana is and will always be Such an amazing Actres she always delivers way beyond our expectations James Cameron choose the perfect girl for the Character Nitirri. The fact that everyone they Delivered Such emotions and characters without anything is Insane!!!!!! Even if you dint like the move you have to pay respects to them for Working so hard on this Pice of Art!
I *LOVE* Avatar. Watched it in 2009 and was SO happy to watch the re-release in Sep 2022. And now, seeing this makes me appreciate the movie even more. CAN'T WAIT to see Avatar 2!!!!!!
well that was just 10 minutes of film and man it captures you physically and emotionally, and yes you feel like your part of the film with great actors and great story line, and yes watching the pure reaction wow and the music really captures you, like the end music do you sit there and think wow. Avatar 2.
This movie was beautiful and absolutely mesmerizing in 2009. Audiences were completely captivated. 13 years later at the rerelease, I couldn't have been happier to share this with my 8yr old neice in the theater. She loved it! Can't wait till December for the next installment.
The film that speaks to my soul more than any other, just a tour de force when it comes to demonstrating the will of compassion in people. Amazing is an understatement.
Neytiri was 1 of the most underrated character zoe ever play,and some directors kept forgetting dat she played an alien character once instead of gamora.
I was only a child when i saw this movie. Yes probs not a good age to watch it but i remembered thinking other kids would probably make fun of the way she showed how emotional she was but it was truly overwhelming to see how they portrayed their characters. Seeing it again, things havent changed and i still find this a great movie
This is the pinnacle of filmmaking and the visual arts in my opinion. If you think about all the work and moving parts it took to get this production finished.. it’s just amazing this movie even exists if you think about it.
It's honestly amazing what you can do when the actors enjoy what they do. Just being in a room with mocap gear on, and yet still giving their all to their performances, knowing what the end result will turn out to be. Thank you James Cameron for making your dreams a reality. So excited for the other 3 movies.
What makes it even more incredible for me is that Zoe had to cry and mourn in a totally different language, and had to make it credible like every single letter came from her heart
don't know how many times I watched this movie, but every time I sit like a newer with great enthusiasm, one of the best movie I ever saw hats off the actors and the director, waiting for the series 😍👌🏻😊
it's one of those films when first time you watch you are like ok.. nice one but when you rewatch again and again you realise what a masterpiece it is in every aspect
Wow, just wow. I'm one of the about 7 people who loved this movie and my appreciation for it just went up about three tousand percent. Thanks for this amazing footage.
Goes to show how focused and concentrated all the actors were without cracking up because there was barely a set to play in. Also how they were all trusting in James Cameron's ability to translate their performances into believable CG characters. That's some leap of faith to believe that it will all panned out and that emotion would transcend through the technology
Cameron is unbelievable. Not only did he and Vince Pace develop the technology for the VR fusion camera and the other cameras invented to film this, he is also personally in the volume pantomiming the Ikran and the rhino animal. He also grabs the camera and films a lot of scenes too. I mean you cannot get anymore hands-on than him.
Wow😯 thì ra đóng phim trí tưởng tượng của diễn viên thật là phong phú. Sao tưởng tượng và cảm xúc được hay y như thật?! Xuất sắc👏💯❤. Mong chờ phần 2 này lâu quá!
Zoe is a real winner here... She is a great actress... She is in Endgame and Avatar lol... Both of them are the highest grossing movies of all time... Although Avatar became no. 1 again last year...
Just truly phenomenal. I am lost for words. Seeing the behind the scenes for Avatar has given me an even greater level of respect for all involved in making Avatar, cast and crew alike. The emotion and meaning that was portrayed despite the lack of setting and costume is just incredible. To be able to conjure up that world in your head and act as though you can see it all around you is beyond belief. Don't even get me started on the CGI team...I applaud all that worked on the original Avatar and am really excited to go and see the second one in the cinema in just under a week considering I was only about 3 when the first one came out!
Respect for the actors of how real it feels of their emotions and to the editors and people who made the CGI they did an amazing job of making it realistic✨
Even watching Zoe crying shouting got me overwhelmed, man what an great actor she is.
She makes me cry during that scene. Very real and palatable emotion.
Same. She's a great actress
@@PeacefulDanielah I know right? Great actor.
I feel the same
She was having so much fun with Sam Worthington
The acting is amazing. You take it for granted but watching what they were actually working with is incredible.
I agree I mean not only the acting but the imagination of something huge running after you and it’s just a person with a stick!
@@Jhess101AnimeXOXO Totally!
especially zoe saldana... her emotion was amazing
So truuuuue! Amazing!
@@shaf2317 totally agree with you!

A unique masterpiece.
Don't forget Cameron's direction. It was his job to explain his vision as clearly as he can to the actors.
It's not they. It is Cameron
@@sijos8927 it's both
This is totally amazing and I never noticed it before until now! ❤ 😊🐉
Zoe Saldana is the real deal. Such a great performer.
Her crying over her fathers death and seeing the raw emotion from jakes ‘betrayal’ had me crying she was so perfect for the role and im so excited to the the BTS for way of water
It must've been simply amazing just to have been one of those ppl in the room watching her act in those scenes just damn

Yeah I really really x100000000000000 can’t wait for prt 2!!❤️💙
This just adds to why Avatar is and will always be my favourite movie of all time 😌🥰
Avatar is looking impressive but is boring and Shallow.

I am surprised they didn't laugh when guys with sticks were running nearby or jolting the stick during the scene where Neytiri was preparing to shoot Jake
@@quakethedoombringer there has to be multiple takes so i wouldnt doubt that theres a handful of times where the cast giggled a bit
Watching Neytiri cry in real time made me tear up, ugh I love this movie & this made me appreciate it that much more💘😩
Agree
I couldn’t agree more.
the acting is truly phenomenal, she gives a powerful performance.
Ik man i cry evry damn time
Sorry, but nothing big :) I have seen Kashmiri Muslim women crying EXACTLY same way (As Zoe did as Neytiri) when their jihadi husbands are killed by Indian security forces.
Zoe is an incredible actress.
I agree
She is nice
I love how the thanator dragging Jake down at 1:59 in real life is just 2 dudes beating him with sticks 🤣
I WHEEZED
LmaoOO i didn't notice that
Hahahahahhahaha LEGIT
That's not Jake, that's the other guy. The scientist guy.
Thought that was funny too
The fact that i still cried when zoe was crying just shows what an amazing actress she is
She is a very good actress

The imagination you have to have as both creator and actor is WILD!

Oh my god THANK YOU I’ve been looking for a behind the scenes to the Ikran scenes, like flying and stuff, for AGES like legit years
They can't feel the jungle , air , sky nothing but still acted like natural this is called talent.
Zoe’s expressions are so perfect for an Avatar istg. Neytiri’s face and voice mesmerized me all throughout the movie

no green screen.. thats amazing
Wow, just wow. I'm one of the about 7 people who loved this movie and my appreciation for it just went up about three tousand percent. Thanks for this amazing footage.
