When seeing Avatar in the cinema, I distinctly remember a P.O.V. shot of a Na'vi hand pushing aside some bush to peer up at the shuttle coming in to land at the start of the movie. This shot isn't on the DVD at all
Now, I don't really care...because frankly when I was watching the film I felt this was too much too soon. But nonetheless - this shot was there right?! I'm not crazy?

Does it really matter?? the film is utter crap anyway - one scene - more or less - will not save it.

If you think Avatar is utter crap, you haven't seen any crappy movies. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it was a huge WOW in IMAX 3D. I saw it three times in theaters just for that experience.

I'd assumed the extra footage was left on the editing room floor for good reason.

so they could release a bunch of super-duper extended editions and fleece people out of more money?

I can't fathom why this movie was so successful. Visually overdone IMO. EveryGoddamn thing on that planet glowed? Jee-zus how annoying. The floating rocks were cool... WHEN I SAW THEM ON YES ALBUM COVERS 40 YEARS AGO!!!!!
The story...not sure what to say other than been-there-done-that. Greedy corporation, cliched evil Marine guy, do-gooder scientist blah-blah-blah. This was essentially a Disney movie with cursing, and Sam Worthington as the Princess.
Seriously, I'm sure I'm WAY on the other side with my opinion here in the Zone, and I'm also sure that seeing this in an IMAX theater might have added to the overall experience, but this was really an EPIC letdown for me.

I think falling asleep during a movie speaks volumes as far as the movie providing interest (to the "critic" who falls asleep).
Would I have dozed off in an IMAX theater? Of course not. But I'd be willing to bet that I would still have been bored out of my gourd.

Kirk is desperately trying to run this place like the film equivalent of Farenheit 451, and losing.
Just because there are people out there who don't dogmatically follow the latest crazy SFX trendy film, doesn't mean you have to treat them like pariahs!
The film is a steaming dog turd. A wonderfully CGI'd, beautifully rendered GLOWING steaming alien dog turd. I felt it lacked character substance and the development was lacklustre at best. I would have rather have watched Ferngully, and most certainly enjoyed Dances with Wolves and the smurfs, a whole lot more than this luminous hollywood fecal matter.

Wrong Avatar Vic (unless of course you're playing coy).
Of course, THIS Avatar fits the description you are attributing to The Last Airbender!

It works for both. But for most of us Avatar was a cartoon with vibrant characters, a sense of humor and a real story.
The "other" Avatar was a rip off of Dances With Wolves. Six of one......

That's double prejudice in fact from The Vicar. Never knew you could be that much of an asshole.

I can see why you are trying to look down on Vicar. Being the asshat you are, you instinctively think that Vicar is beneath you. This is where you are wrong. He's simply stating that the story has been done to death and been done much better elsewhere.
If you removed the special effects, this film barely clung together.

No it wouldn't, shut up you idiot! Without the FX the film would be shot differently, but just in the same seamless way. the way that the FX aren't so much FX but just created a scenery or new world, then Cameron would simply film it on location or studio to create some more filmable world just as fluent.
Now, coming from someone who's been abroad finally to Brazil and got indoctrinated in the ways of that culture, behaviour, and country, you should know better about being so racist towards the attitude of joining in with a foreign culture.
So don't tell me to not talk down to The Vicar, as you're just adapting the same racist and ignorant behaviour as he is.
