The special extended 3D edition of James Cameron’s science fiction film Avatar has been withdrawn in the US by its distributors after the classification board gave it a 12-rating rather than PG.
Well, at least they aren't that desperate to milk Avatar for all its worth! Apparently the 8 WHOLE extra minutes of scenes have bumped it up to a 12 rating...
KRS Film Distributors said they do not agree with the new classification.
“The additional scenes in the special edition do not justify the film being given a higher classification than that of the original film,” KRS said.
In the UK, the original version of Avatar in 2D and 3D and its extended 3D version were classified 12A, which means the material is suitable, in general, only for those aged 12 and over. According to the British Board of Film Classification no one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult and films classified 12A are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgment, the film is suitable for that particular child.
I really don't see the fuss. Most people that would pay again to see Avatar AGAIN on the big screen would have to have the obsessive qualities of an adult.
