Here is an example how advance technology of Avatar The Way Of Water is creating problems for theatres. James Cameron's sequel to his world's highest grosser Avatar is released in screens after thirteen long years of waiting. It is known that Cameron has used latest technology and even created some on his own to made this film. All this hardwork and advanced vision is to attain perfection in creating a visually enchanting world of Pandora for Avatar 2. The visuals are remarkable and spell-binding on the big screen. Avatar 2 shot it's action sequences in HFR format with 48 fps for smooth and sharp images. This advanced technology of filming is creating problems for theatres while projecting the film.
For the unversed, fps is the number of frames (images displayed) per second, and the standard frame rate for movies is 24 fps. The movie Avatar: The Way of Water is shot in HFR or High Frame Rate, which is faster than 24fps as it provides better and smoother details. Avatar 2 is among those rare films that come in 48 fps 3D format that requires the latest technology to have the power to play the high frame rate format. Several projectors in Japan’s theatres are crashing down as they don't handle this advanced projection. Only one theatre at Nagoya could fix this problem by lowering the film’s 48fps high frame rate playback to the standard 24fps one.
James Cameron’s Avatar 2 The Way of Water was released in the theatres on 16th December worldwide. It is being shown in 3D and 2D, in both 24fps and 48fps.
