Today marks the official release of Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD in North America. The 2 disk set features the original full screen and cropped widescreen editions of the film and a whole disk of extras.
Full details can be found at Sony BMG’s Official Site.
IGN have reviewed Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Edition DVD and seem to love every bit of it.
Probably the most interesting bit of the review is the comparisons with Rhino’s DVD. It clearly shows that a good portion has been cut off around the sides for the full frame (the way it was meant to be watched) version.
Completing Disc One is the restoration comparison – a welcome addition that should be included on every new and upcoming DVD release (and especially re-release) – and the preview footage from the 2007 live-action Transformers film. Unfortunately, none of the shots elaborate on the glimpses we’ve thus far seen, and in fact only repeat content made available on IGN and elsewhere on the web. But the cooperation/participation of Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and Paramount is a great compliment to the producers of this DVD.
The full review can be read here.
TFW2005 have reviewed Sony BMG’s Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, due for release in North America (Region 1) on 7th November. Overall, it seems Sony BMG have put the effort in to produce a quality DVD.
