I, Robot

For those that remember, this one of the few summer movies that didn’t
disapoint. Based on short stories of Isaac Asimov, the movie is
basically about a detective with a grudge against robots, called into
to investigate the death of a friend & found of THE robot company.

Right of the bat, the DTS sound is superb. Reproducing the same great
dynamic sound from the film, the audio to this was as if we were back
in the theatre (if not better). As one would expect from a movie with
so much digital effects, the video quality was perfect.

Luckily 20th Century Fox didn’t half-ass the menus. They were creative
& not just a standard still image with buttons. Extras include
commentary by the director & screenwriter, a “making of”
featurette, a photo gallery, and coming soon trailers (both DVD &
theatrical). While I haven’t yet watched it with commentary yet, the
“Making of” featurette was pretty cool.

In addition to the
above average authoring, the packaging also is creative. With the
transparent sleeve over it, the cover art appears as the movie poster.
Slip off the sleeve & you see the background artwork (and what I’m
guessing is an alternate version of the poster). What impresses me is
that, with the transparent windows to the amaray case, it gives the
cover artwork depth.

Overall, I would say this DVD was worth the money & gives plenty of supplemental material to extend the use of the DVD.
