Will there be a separate pricing thread with all the prices?

I think $22.99 for the blu-ray/dvd combo might be the same price at most stores?

Review of the 2D release. It got a 5/5 in both audio and video. :up:

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Interesting, so on disc 2, they have the movie again, but in a Maximum Movie type mode with interviews and behind the scenes material edited in. Unfortunately the interstitial material isn't broken up separately.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

apparently too it runs through the entire movie (ie its not bts footage during certain scenes)

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I wouldn't be surprised if WB originally planned to pull the same bullshit that Paramount pulled with STID.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I find this part of the review interesting,

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Weird. That featurette is on disc 1 of the EE of The Hobbit. I guess they're cross promoting the hell out of The Hobbit or some shit.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That or somebody totally fucked up when they made these discs. :lol:

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That's my thinking, lol.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

No its apparently part of a deal the studio made with New Zealand for tax breaks to film there to have the country promoted on more then one movie.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That would make sense. NLC is part of WB. Still odd.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Despite having a whole lot of problems with this at my lone theatrical viewing, I was still planning on picking this up on disc and just using it as an extended trailer/demo disc- skipping over everything I found inane or wrong-headed.

But then i saw the screencaps in that review and any enthusiasm i had to see any of it again got sucked out the air hatch. Am I really in that small a minority that thinks the visuals for this film/disc are amongst the ugliest they've ever seen? They aren't only stylized in an aggressively artificial way ( which I find completely at odds with a production that otherwise thinks it's 'grounding' the character) but its not even an enjoyable stylization. Besides being cliched and overused, it's utterly monotonous and dreay. Everyone has the skin tones of a cadaver. 90% of those images are teal or orange, or teal & orange. it's so overbaked in the T&O department, I have to wonder if its actally meant to be a parody.

Really wish I could wrap my head around the mindset of people that actually enjoy and gravitate to this aesthetic.

The whole aesthetic matches the film, which is sadly dour and no fun. Was this shot digitally or bleach bypassed or something, or did Snyder really just think it was a good idea to suck all of the color out of it in post?

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I'd probably have more issue with the contrast levels. T&O was fine for me cuz of the contrast levels but also...in some bits the contrast levels were not good for certain scenes. I'm looking at you bland cg buildings being fucked up.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Never judge a Blu-ray by screen caps. In the grand schemes of things they mean dick until you pop in the BD.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

This was shot on actual film. I didn't see any orange, only what registered to me as blue (teal to me is a brighter color than what I saw here.)

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Agreed. Also, the color scheme of the movie seems to be mostly accurate to what was originally shot.

Here's a random shot Cavill took with a kid on the set:

Another on-set shot with some woman:

Here's a picture of the costume under harsh convention lighting:

Here's a random behind the scenes shot:

Here's a random screenshot of the movie:

Tweaking was obviously done. It's just not as extreme as people seem to think.

That's not to say that there wasn't tinkering in post, of course. Just look at this extreme example:

http://www.redcarpetcrash.com/wp-con...P-r5-11351.jpg

But the scenes leading up to and following that one, aren't that extreme.

It's in scenes like the interrogation, inside the Kryptonian ships, when the World Engine is doing it's thing, and Lois in the Artic that have that extreme blue shift. Everything else looks pretty much normal.

Re: Man Of Steel

Re: Man Of Steel

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Looking at this weeks ad, it looks like the digibook isn't the 3D combo.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

you can get it anywhere, i assume. don't think it is retail exclusive or anything. saw it Amazon and i'm getting @ BB.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

still hoping the 30 min of extras exclusive to target is on a disc

What streaming service does Target have, if any?
