A detailed and thrilling look into the mesmerising world of Avatar.

It was fascinating to see the alternative concepts to the film's central components and to read about them first-hand from the artists that made the film possible. The art is stunning; seeing it reflected at you from the page truly showcases the talent of the individuals involved.

Bought at the same time as the previous book on Avatar 2, this one is very imposing and just as exciting. Alternating between explanatory texts and images on a double-page, we take full view and we learn especially a lot. While the Encyclopedia was more succinct, this large volume provides information about the post-production team, so 3D animators, illustrators, costume designers, special effects managers, every role is there. Not to mention discussions with directors and producers, including the great James Cameron.

Some recount the sometimes very long meetings, during which the teams dissect each element of the film, so that the script and the universe on the screen correspond to the overflowing imagination of the director. Between superficial modifs and total change of direction, the work provided has been, and is monstrous. The sequel is already filmed but remains to finish the production.

So for those who say that Avatar 2 is poor, I disagree. The abundant universe IS the story, watch Kiri or Lo'ak swim with a smile in these splendid waters, that’s the scenario! A life on a different planet from Earth, the Sully family leaves the jungle and has to adapt to survive. What more do you need? This film is of great depth, ask yourself: what did it do to you? What feeling(s)?
