I Am Legend Ultimate Collectors Edition Blu-ray double-dips December 9

by Richard Lawler posted Sep 2nd 2008 at 7:13PM


Ready for even more double dipping? Warner is returning December 9 with the I Am Legend Ultimate collectors Edition in a 2-disc Blu-ray set with a $59.99 MSRP. Exclusive on Blu-ray are picture-in-picture Focus Points that let you watch the making of during the movie on a Bonus View-capable player. As pictured above, the box packs in a 44-page sketch book, art cards and more. That's quite a spread for one movie (and yes, the alternate ending is included in this release also), enough to make you go back for more?

Blu-ray releases on April 8th, 2008

Walk HardAt first glance this week looks pretty decent, but when you take a second look you'll notice the biggest release of the week is MIA. We'd hoped that Paramount would be ready to release Blu-ray titles in time for There Will be Blood, we now know we'll have to go without -- guess Paramount will just have to wait to get our money. Sony's leading the way this week with four releases though, two of which include BD Live content as well as TrueHD sound. Something also interesting to note is that the super hot, I Am Legend hits HD DVD this week, so we'll be interested to see how well it sells on next week's VideoScan numbers now that some retailers have eliminated its HD DVD shelf space.

I Am Legend reviewed on Blu-ray

Given that the HD DVD flavor of I Am Legend is still a few weeks off, we figured we'd point the eyes of BD supporters to a couple of Blu-ray reviews for the time being. Both reviews noted that the 1080p encode was nothing short of beautiful, and visually, the film was an absolute treat. Colors, contrast and black levels were all found to be "excellent," and the Dolby TrueHD track was singled out as being particularly fantastic. As for extras, there was enough here to keep the casual fan satisfied, but as with we saw with Michael Clayton, those really, truly interested in getting behind the scenes may be somewhat disappointed. Overall, it sounds like the BD version is certainly worth a glance if you enjoyed it in cinemas, but those hoping to find a world of extras may want to pass on the purchase and get their rental on.

Future Warner HD DVD releases to be inferior to their Blu counterparts?

by Ben Drawbaugh posted Jan 31st 2008 at 1:17PM

I Am LegendOver the past two years Warner has pulled a complete about face. Starting out all red, all the time, then just before the release of HD DVD went dual format. But while Warner pledged to support both camps, many accused Warner still preferred HD DVD because of exclusive titles like The Matrix and the red version of dual release titles included additional features like In Movie Experience. But now that the shoe is on the other foot and HD DVD titles are supposed to be released three weeks after the Blu version, and it also appears that the red version will be the one missing features, as the upcoming release of I Am Legend appears to be missing the Creating I Am Legend Documentary and Cautionary Tale: The Science of I Am Legend featurettes. There's no way to confirm until the movie is released, but hey, at least Warner didn't quit HD DVD cold turkey like when Paramount went red.
