Universal lays out specs, box art for Wanted on Blu-ray

by Richard Lawler posted Oct 16th 2008 at 1:52PM

Universal already called its shot, with a "What The Matrix did for DVD, this could do for Blu-ray" proclamation before Wanted even hit theaters so we're not surprised by the long list of extras in store. The Blu-ray version gets four U-control exclusive features, with My Chat, My Scenes and commentary maker BD-Live extras to boot. Springing for the Collector's Edition? Expect some collectible postcards and a lenticular scene thrown in, with 1080p MPEG-4 encoded video and DTS-HD MA audio to make sure the viewing experience lives up to expectations. Even with a $135 million box office haul to its name we don't know if all the hype is deserved, but if Angelina Jolie and guns interest you, the package is due December 2, MSRP $39.98 standard, $69.98 CE.

Although that box art looks like crap, this was one of my favorite summer movies (behind Batman and Iron Man), it's just a lot of fun to watch and pretty action-packed throughout. Sure-it's a little hokey and sci-fi, but the visuals were great (counting Angelina), so I will definitely be picking this one up.

I'll probably regret it, but I'm gonna give this movie a shot on BD.

For me: NF before buy.

I have to disagree with the claim though about The Matrix. The Matrix on DVD did wonders for home theaters, but not just DVD. I think one of the best introduction DVD's of all time has got to be The Fifth Element. Every home theater store was using it as a reference disc to get the DVD point across. I think it is too early to brand a movie with reference disc status. However Iron Man and Transformers are pretty close. The technology is progressing too fast for any of the current media to fully demonstrate its capabilities.
