Avatar The Way Of Water The Visual Dictionary Book Review

Posted By yonghow on March 10th, 2023

James Cameron’s Avatar The Way Of Water is the most visually astounding film I’ve seen in recent years, bar none. The sheer amount of in-depth world-building is just staggering in order to create a universe of such fidelity and realism, and this 128 pages hardcover book is an excellent volume to discover and learn about the rich world of Pandora and all its fascinating inhabitants in detail.

While the Art Of Avatar The Way Of Water book that I reviewed previously is perfect for exploring the huge collection of concept art created for the film during pre-production, this visual dictionary features set photographs and finished renders complete with additional background information. The large print format of the book and the huge images are splendid visual reference for anyone who wants to take a detailed look at the Na’vi as well as the invading RDA and its formidable military hardware.

Book synopsis –

Dive into the depths of Avatar: The Way of Water with this definitive guide. Created in close collaboration with James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment and written by experts who worked on the film, this authoritative book is packed with stunning exclusive details. This must-have visual guide showcases the characters, creatures, vehicles, weapons, and locations from the latest adventure in Pandora.

Meet the next generation of Jake Sully and Neytiri’s family, including the mysterious Kiri and the heroic Neteyam, and their brave new allies among the Metkayina clan. Discover the majestic tulkun, speedy skimwings,and the other fauna and flora of Pandora’s oceans. Examine the latest fearsome RDA vehicles and the specialist recom troops under Colonel Quaritch’s command. Uncover the inner workings of Bridehead City and the sacred Cove of the Ancestors.

This large hardcover visual dictionary is a great companion to the Art Of Avatar The Way Of Water book I reviewed previously. While the latter focuses on concept art and visuals still in look development, this book showcases the completed assets and final designs that we see in the movie. Recommended.
