Last December, when Anchor Bay released Fear The Walking Dead The Complete First Season on Blu-ray and DVD, both versions were pretty bare bones. Well, now there’s the Fear The Walking Dead The Complete First Season Special Edition Blu-ray and DVD, and while these new editions have extras that should’ve been included on the originals, they’re far from perfect.
While people insist that size doesn’t matter, we all know it does. Just consider The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit movies, the extended versions of which have all been better than their shorter, theatrical counterparts. And that’s once again the case with The Hobbit The Battle Of The Five Armies Extended Edition, which is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and 3D Blu-ray.
As a new show coming into an existing fictional universe, it’s not surprising that the first season of Fear The Walking Dead, the prequel spin-off of The Walking Dead, wouldn’t be as good as the latest episodes of its big brother. But that doesn’t explain why the Fear The Walking Dead The Complete First Season Blu-ray and DVD is so lacking as well. And not just compared to the most recent Walking Dead seasonal set, but to The Walking Dead The Complete Season One as well.
Though he’s often had his own comic book, Ant-Man — much like Thor before him — has always worked better as a member of The Avengers than he has on his own. So it’s rather fitting that the Ant-Man movie would — much like Thor and Thor: The Dark World before it — be an interesting flick, but not anywhere as good as The Avengers or The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Or that the same could be said about its Blu-ray, Blu-ray/3D Blu-ray combo pack, and especially its DVD.
Walt Disney Studios have announced that they will release the TV series LEGO Star Wars Droid Tales on DVD on March 1, 2016.
While the quality has sometimes waivered, the Terminator movies have always managed to be engaging and intriguing. But while the same can be said about the latest (and, sadly, possibly last) installment, Terminator Genisys, the wavering comes not in the movie itself, but in the extras included, and not included, in the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, the 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and especially the DVD.
Some good movies get bad Blu-rays, and some bad movies get good Blu-rays. So it’s kind of nice that the Jurassic World Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and DVD for Jurassic World would be on the same level of the movie….or rather, it would be, if the movie hadn’t been disappointing and flawed.
As a resident of Los Angeles who visits San Francisco fairly regularly, I live in constant fear of being squished by an earthquake. And yet I also find movies in which earthquakes decimate Los Angeles, San Francisco, or even the whole world to be entirely engaging, even when the shaking is surrounded by a rote story or shallow characters. Which is what you get from San Andreas (Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, DVD): a rather exciting disaster.
