This is the ultimate companion to the most successful film of all time! James Cameron's "Avatar Collector's Vault 3D" is quite literally an in-depth guide to Pandora, the world of the Na'vi. Presented in a slipcase, with a pair of 3D glasses, this stunning oversized hardcover is packed with exclusive photos, and also includes more than 60 special features and removable pieces.
Got it as a gift and loved the 3D aspect, even as an adult it was cool and very original! The book is an overview of the details of the movie, not a novel whatsoever, which is kind of what I was expecting. It goes through the characters, places, and events, not really in chronological order. Still cool overall and it was a good refresher for the next movie. Neat collector's piece.
To celebrate the release of the Extended Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, Titan books have published a companion to the movie: 'Avatar Collector’s Vault 3D'.
When I received a request to review 'Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D' I didn't really know what to expect, but when it arrived all I could say was WOW. This book is gorgeous! It's beautifully packaged in a hard glossy landscape slipcase. The book itself is hardback and contains the same glossy feel and image as the slipcase. It's full of 3D illustrations, which you view through the 3D glasses supplied - these are not the typically flimsy cardboard variety but a very good quality black plastic.
When viewing the images through the glasses the illustrations are really good and they bounce off the page in glorious 3D - the 3D aspect works surprisingly well. There are also many lovely little details which add to the quality of the book, such as profile cards with pictures of the characters, alien species and weapons as well as removable pieces.
VERDICT:
This is a gorgeous illustrated book and I would highly recommend it to all Avatar fans. And with Christmas just around the corner, what a fantastic gift!
