Product Description
This lavishly illustrated film companion takes the reader on a journey into the magical world of Pandora, to get closer to the landscapes, creatures and characters of James Cameron's blockbuster epic, AVATAR. This is the only adult tie-in book to what many are already describing as the cinematic event of 2009. Marking James Cameron's first film since 1997's Titanic, Avatar is set to be the most exciting film of 2009 but also a major milestone in movie history. Using state of the art technology, Cameron and producer John Landau have created an entire world - Pandora - and realized it in a way never before possible. For the first time ever, 3-D effects conjure up a world every bit as real as the one we inhabit. Yet the world of Pandora is unlike anything we've experienced - ten foot blue humanoids wander peacefully amidst a world of flying mountains, phosphorescent forests and unimaginable vistas. This is a perfect tie-in book, offering a stunning companion to this cutting-edge masterpiece, featuring a comprehensive look at the fictional world created for the film, including flora, fauna, planets, and more. AVATAR will be the most unique, engaging universe ever realized on film and the AVATAR FIELD GUIDE is the perfect guide to that world as well as the only resource for fans who are left wanting more. AVATAR is a genre-bending blend of sci-fi action-adventure and a timeless, emotional and personal story of redemption and revolution. The talent is exceptional, featuring Sam Worthington, the hot young star of Terminator Salvation, Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, and Michelle Rodriguez, among others. An epic story, the Cameron brand, and fantastic visuals! This promises to be the must-see film of 2009, and for any fans of the film this will be the ultimate self and gift purchase.

This is an excellent and detailed book on the planet of Pandora from James Cameron's Avatar and is full of information on it. You learn about the planets many inhabitants from the Na'vi to every other animal and plant. You also find out about the planets many wonders and its position in the universe, as well as information on the RDA. Worth the money, extremely happy that I bought this.

This review is from: Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (Film Tie in) (Paperback)
This book is brilliant for any hardcore Avatar fans. It goes into all those extra pieces of detail that you sit there dying to know during the film and more. Makes for a very interesting read and sends your imagination spinning over Pandora all over again.

A must-have.,
By Novelistgirl (France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (Film Tie in) (Paperback)
Here's something you HAVE to buy if you're an Avatar fan. Full of interesting info on Pandora, the creatures, the plants, the traditions, etc.
It's good to have it if there are some things you didn't understand in the movie or if you forgot the name of some creature, for instance. And the pictures on every page are just amazing. Interesting to read and beautiful to look at. 5/5 :)
