Transformers Movie 20th anny re-release

[Synaptic Flow]

Sorry if it's been posted already, but were any of you aware of this nice bit of news? Check it out at www.transformersthemoviedvd.com

I've always enjoyed the version I have but it will be nice to have this one with all the extras.

[limacharliewhiskey]

Yeah, it was announced last month. I'll wait and see what "special features" are on it. If it will truly be a special edition, it will be absolutely required to have the Stan Bush video of "The Touch". Without it, the DVD will be incomplete.

[Dave McFly]

I too have the previous release and I am NOT happy with it.

1: so called "Special Edtion" has a few story boards, and a interview with the composer. No trailer, no music videos, .
2: the audio is all messed up, I have a very nice (well DECENT ) 700watt 7.1 surround sound setup, and the movie is in 5.1 MONO. I mean dialoge comes out of all 5 of my speakers, instead of the center channel.
3: it is in FULLSCREEN

So I am holding off untill A: i hear that they at least fixed the audio/video presentation. and B: that it has more 'under the hood' so to speak.

[Synaptic Flow]

Yeah, fullscreen, ya know I never really thought about that. It just seemed to blend into my mind since the tv show was obviously fullscreen to. It just seemed to fit.

I think I have that "The Touch" music video somewhere.

I'm sure they'll come up with something neat for us... they better throw in some tidbits about the upcoming 2007 movie also.

Now I'm confused. Is this thing pillar-boxed 4:3 or 16:9?

edit: Nevermind. I was confusing this release:



for this release:



I will definitely triple dip on this if it really is 16x9.

[Dave McFly]

I watched an announcement video that shows side by side comparisons to the older rhino and the new sony/bmg version. and it showed a clip of prime transforming to truck mode to confront megatron in WIDESCREEN , and it said in the video that it IS 16x9 widescreen for the first time since it was in theaters in 1986. Now if it has a PROPER 5.1 audio mix, none of that 5.1 mono crap, I am SO getting this

[Brikar99]

Yeah, definitely looking awesome.

Re: the video
Love the crowd reactions when the cheesy music starts, or when Prime and Megatron are wailing on each other.
