Re: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen---Oct 20th
Are the TWEC steelbooks usually pretty limited? I have TF1 in the steelbook that I got on release week and the completist in me wants to get the new one, but can't seem to justify that cost this week. Was just curious if they are usually around for a while or if they are limited, so I can get it when they drop down in price back to release week prices or lower.
Any help appreciated.

Agreed with these guys. It's a tough one. The FYE still has a ton of Indiana Jones and Iron Man around, but I got the TF steelbook almost a week after it came out, and at that point there were only like five or six copies left. The next time I went in they were all gone.
If the completist side of you is that crazy, then just go for it. Worst case scenario: you get your pick of the litter and get the best copy, and will still see it in stores from time to time. If you don't think it will bother you, then hold off.

Not intended to be a threadcrap, but I saw the Optimus vs. Decepticons forest fight on Blu-Ray at Wal-Mart the other night (they had it on endless loop).
Is that the best action sequence in the film, because if it is, what a souless experience? The CGI was very solid and the action was easy to follow, but it became very repetitive and the finale of it failed to impress me at all.

i'm sure it is here somewhere, but what exactly is the difference in the Walmart version with the IMAX scenes...it just looks better/crisper with different aspect ratio in certain parts?

Um, it was filmed on 70mm IMAX film, so it has a lot higher resoltuion which means better clarity. Because it's such a high resolution you'll get a lot of detail and less grain and more clarity. Pretty much it's like combining the best parts of digital and the best parts of film.

even on DVD, i could pretty much tell the difference. And someone needs to tell Michael Bay (and to an extent JJ Abrams, to please stop over using anamorphic lens flares, i don't mind if their used sparringly, but it seems like its every other shot or so when any of the transformers are on screen.

Its a crock of shit. They had banners up months ago saying "DVD $14.99, Special Edition DVD $22.99, Bluray $24.99" only for me to find out its $25.99 but $22.99 after $3 rebate. I said "suck it" and asked for my $5 reserve back and bought the Walmart version for $20 instead.

I know I am rather late on this, but it has to be a movie I will endlessly watch for me to purchase a dvd of it.
I actually was waiting until I finally got a bluray player to purchase this as my first bluray.
I am confused, does the walmart exclusive bluray have the most content of any version?
I have a 47 inch LCD tv and I want this baby to be EPIC.

extras are the same. the doc on disc 2 is about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and its not all fluff. You can see why people say Bay is a hard ass to work with.

So Wal-Mart exclusive bluray has the best visually and the same features as all other versions, probably minus 30 minutes from the Target edition?

Re: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen---Oct 20th
I found slight variations on different websites between the bluray and sd 2 disc:
the sd 2 disc has
"Credits" after "Running the Gauntlet"...but that isn't on the bluray or it isn't listed
"Deconstructing..." is a minute longer on the sd 2 disc than the bluray, can anyone confirm?
