Transformers Revenge of the Fallen---Oct 20th

http://www.collider.com/2009/08/20/t...d-extras-here/

Disc 1:

Commentary by Michael Bay, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
Disc 2:

The Human Factor: Exacting Revenge of the Fallen-This multi-chapter documentary chronicles the entire creation of the film and includes interviews with the cast and crew:
Seeds of Vengeance - Development and Design - After the overwhelming success of 2007’s Transformers, how do the filmmakers top themselves for the sequel?
Domestic Destruction - Production: United States - Michael Bay believes in going big: Big action and big explosions. Cast and crew are pushed to the limit as they traverse the U.S. from New Mexico to Pennsylvania.
Joint Operations - Production: Military - No other filmmaker in the world enjoys the kind of military access and cooperation Michael Bay has. Here we see just how efficient our armed forces are and the awe and respect shown by the cast.
Wonders of the World - Production: Middle East - You can’t really reproduce Egypt anywhere but Egypt so off we go to Giza and Luxor.
Start Making Sense - Editing - In order to turn over the massive amount of film as quickly as possible to VFX, four editors work tirelessly in a unique tag-team approach to shape the film.
Under the Gun - Visual Effects - Revenge of the Fallen features the most complicated VFX in film history. So complicated in fact that the filmmakers were unsure they would make the deadline. The DEVASTATOR VFX alone required 83% of ILM’s total render farm capacity.
Running the Gauntlet - Post-Production and Release - Working seven days a week, Michael Bay and company usher the film through sound design, Digital Intermediate color-timing and a globe-trotting whirlwind of premieres.
A Day with Bay: Tokyo-An intimate and fun all-access journey with Michael Bay as he travels to Tokyo, Japan for the world premiere of the biggest film of the year.
25 Years of TRANSFORMERS-Access an all-new featurette celebrating a monumental milestone for one of Hasbro’s most successful and popular franchises.
NEST: Transformer Data-Hub-Explore conceptual artwork created by the production for 12 of the most popular AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS from the film.
Deconstructing Visual Bayhem with Commentary by Pre-Vis Supervisor
Steve Yamamoto- A series of multi-angle pre-visualization sequences allowing viewers to learn how some of the film’s most spectacular scenes were created with an introduction by Michael Bay.
Extended Scenes
Music Video: Linkin Park’s “New Divide”


BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVE:

The ALLSPARK Experiment-Viewers get their chance to unleash the power of the recently recovered ALLSPARK shard on Earth vehicles. Begin by selecting and customizing a vehicle with a selection of parts and accessories. Then apply the ALLSPARK to this creation and watch what happens. Applying the ALLSPARK to certain custom combinations enables four new robot characters with special powers. If viewers discover all four, they unlock a fifth vehicle, which reveals a top secret message about the future of the TRANSFORMERS movie franchise.

NEST: Transformer Data-Hub-A database of some of the TRANSFORMERS characters that appear in the new film, offering users access to each robot’s confidential file including:
Innovative 3D spin galleries of each robot
A timeline for each TRANSFORMERS character charting its origins, back story and design evolution from toys to animated series to comics and finally feature films
Giant Effing Movie - A very personal look at the making of the movie.
The Matrix of Marketing-An archive of the film’s promotional media including trailers, posters and television spots.

Hmm. Well, that's interesting. :/

Edit:
Out of all the available permutations, one will unlock an exclusive interview with Michael Bay about his plans for the next adventure.
I'm definitely in for the Blu on day one, even though it'll be another blind buy for me (except I own the first on Blu of course). Can't wait.

Re: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen---Oct 20th

I'm going to buy the 2-disc set.

I wonder if any store will offer a transforming case like the one(s) that was available for the first movie.

Perhaps Bumblebee this time.

The blu-ray seems beyond jam-packed. While I thought the movie sucked on the level of being an 'actual' movie but it was still a fun ride (the parents remind me of my own a little too much which makes their antics beyond hilarious) and the features seem pretty cool.

Awesome. I havnt seen it but the 2-disk DVD looks fantastic. I will be blind-buying the 2-disk DVD. Thanks PAramount/Dreamworks for putting together a good DVD set.

Glad to see the blu exclusives don't interest me, besides perhaps "Big Effin Movie". Its nice to see a loaded DVD, since most features nowadays are only on blu

I'm in. Love long documentaries on huge movies, and the first one was alright.

Plus, Bay commentaries are classic. This and Star Trek are the two titles that are likely to push me to Blu.

The movie was too mediocre and not interesting for me. First one was good, but I will pass on part 2....

Fun movie, despite lots of stupidity. I will definitely get this. The 2-disc set looks extremely jam packed which is a huge plus.

The movie was a big disappointment for me, however this is a very attractive DVD package so I'll buy it anyways.

Seems like Paramount (and to a lesser extent, Universal) is the only big studio still treating standard def releases with some respect.

Here, I will tell you one good thing about it: The scenes where the robots are fighting each other are pretty cool...

That's because there isn't one .

Yeah, when they're shot in a way that you can see without ADHD editing and shaky camera work. They ARE cool, though, no doubt about it. If only the movie weren't padded with two hours of pointless scenes and Megan Fox running in slow motion....

What's the betting, though, that the single-disc version will omit the disc-one extras, including the commentary. Obviously not thrilled about BR exclusives on any movie, but I'm betting that this DVD will be packed with cool bonus features. With the extras included on productions this size nowadays, they may well be pretty cool. I'll borrow my friend's PS3 and give the BR a rent.

I personally thought this sequel was better shot (in regards to the action scenes) than the first film....I felt like they were easier to follow and allowed you to see more of the fighting and it was a little less hyper and kinetic than the original....
Also, I have always thought movies shot this way (also like Quantum Of Solace, and the Bourne films) are easier to watch at home on a TV than on the giant theater screen...not that I mean a little 27" TV or anything, but even a nice size 50-60" TV is not as overwhelming for this kind of film compared to the view at a movie theater...

I've got a mediocre old CRT TV. That's how old-school I am ! I though that this one was better in some regards in that respect. The "Optimus vs. all of the Deceptictions" sequence in particular, with it's long takes and wide shots, worked quite well. I found the first hour to be decently enjoyable junk food. There were about a half-dozen cool set pieces, and the movie moved along pretty briskly. Even the usual hyperactive editing and camera work were better than usual. But after
Spoiler:
the death of Optimus,
I think that the movie hit a brick wall and slowed to a crawl for an hour in which nothing interesting happened. The final half-hour finally got going again, but that's where I really felt that the movie started to get way too frenetic and cut-happy. Maybe I'd feel different if I was it with the changing IMAX ratios though. Mainly it was just the endless string of stupid toilet humor, incredibly annoying characters (Sam's roomate, Mudflap and Skids, etc., Sam's parents, etc.), shots of the endlessly overexposed Megan Fox running in slow-motion, and laborious exposition that sunk the movie for me. It was just way, way, way, way too much of a mediocre thing. There were a good 45+ minutes that could have wound up on the cutting room floor that could have gone towards making the movie a far more enjoyable and tighter guilty pleasure. There is no damn good reason that a movie about giant robots needs to be longer than 2001: A Space Odyssey.
