Directed by Laurent Bouzereau1h 38m2010
Capturing Avatar is a feature length behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Avatar. It uses footage from the film's development, as well as stock footage from as far back as the production of Titanic in 1995. Also included are numerous interviews with cast, artists, and other crew members. The documentary was released as a bonus feature on the extended collector's edition of Avatar.
Our read: Capturing Avatar (2010) reads as a warm, steady, grounded documentary entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
