Yet again, MGM gives us a director's commentary on the also-included DVD but fails to port it over to the Blu-ray. I'm still not sure what the rationale behind that is. Regardless, the Blu-ray disc itself still has a modest handful of special features. First up is Re-Visitors from Outer Space: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pod (SD, 16:14), a decent retrospectiveócovering the timing of, and reasons for, the remakeóthat features director Philip Kaufman, actor Donald Sutherland, writer W.D. Richter and others. Next, we have Practical Magic: The Special Effect Pod (SD, 4:38), which gives a brief overview of how the "seeds" in the opening sequence were brought to life. The Man Behind the Scream: The Sound Effects Pod (SD, 12:47) is a look at the film's sound design and pioneering use of Dolby Surround, and The Invasion Will Be Televised: The Cinematography Pod (SD, 5:24) explores DP Michael Chapmin's distinctive vision for the film. Lastly, we have the film's Theatrical Trailer (SD, 2:12). |
