Watching James Cameron's Avatar is one of those cinematically immersive experiences you have rarely in your life. After the movie ends there is a feeling of wanting to take the characters and the story home with you, to watch it again and take in the details of Pandora within your own home.

Since the Avatar is not due for release on DVD/Blu-Ray for some months why not take a look at some of the other ways you can enhance your understanding of the film and get a closer look details of this ground breaking film.

One of the most absorbing ways to relive the film without seeing it again is by listening to the soundtrack. James Horner has created another moving and emotive film score for Avatar and the CD follows the progression of the story so you can relive the film scene by scene. Turn up the sound, put a couple of ear buds in your ears, lay back and let the world of Avatar swim again in your imagination.

With titles like "You Don't Dream In Cryo" and "Jake's First Flight" you can quickly get a sense of where you are in the story and the events that unfold in your imagination as the music stirs can bring images back like nothing else. You'll be humming the theme in the shower in no time.

If you are more of a visual person, there are two significant book releases that can bring you back to Pandora very quickly while adding to your knowledge and understanding of the world.

The Art Of Avatar allows behind the scene access to the conceptual design of the film including the character designs, animals and plants and much more. This hardcover includes sketches, matte paintings, drawings, and film stills.

Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora is by far the most detailed insight into the wildlife and biology of Pandora and the Naávi that inhabit the planet. It is more descriptive than the Art Of Avatar book and contains detailed descriptions of each creature, plant and phenomenon that Jake encounters on the planet.

There is a certain joy associated with being able to recognize a piece of film score or know why the flowers on Pandora bloom in a certain way. These books and CDs can not only allow you to relive your experience of Avatar but they will prepare you for the next time you see it on DVD or Blu-Ray.
