We all know "that guy / gal" who secretly (or publicly) loves a movie more if there is oodles upon oodles of bonus content on the home release, don't we? If someone just popped into your head, forward this one on as quickly as possible. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has just unveiled details of its forthcoming $159.98
Planet of the Apes: 40-Year Evolution Blu-ray box set, and it seriously sets a new standard for bonus material. The November 4-bound five-disc package is expectedly gigantic, as it houses each Apes film on a BD-50 -- which will be presented in 2.35:1 alongside a remastered 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track -- and the unrated version of
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Best of all, every single supplement is also presented in high-definition, and there are far too many to list in this space. Just hit the read link to see what we mean -- get ready to give that scroll wheel a workout.

Yeah, it's kind of like The Matrix set that way, eh?

That's great packaging though just like The Matrix I think it's bundled up like this because they know nobody would bother with the sequels if they released them separately. Some of them weren't too bad but none of them compare to the original.

zing!

I dunno, movies that are too old really don't appeal to me in the high defintion format. And were some of the sequels pretty grainy?

it's a shame the remake was a piece of $*#%...

What? No ape head packaging this time around?

This is a buy for me, I liked all of them. I recently saw these on MonstersHD on Dish Network (before they got rid of the Voom channels) and these look fantastic, they are going to be great blu-rays!
