WOW! DTS is going to pound the crap out of my SVS sub during the aliens zapping the humans into ash

I'm expecting a sound mix on the level of Saving Private Ryan DTS.

Amazon doesn't have the 2-disc edition up for preorder yet, but I like how they've got the widescreen version of the single disc for $15.98, and the pan-and-scan for $20.99!

The special features:


Click here here for the menus. Looks like we won't be getting any trailers. :frowning:

Someone at spielbergfilms.com Forum posted the running times of the documentaries:
Source: http://www.spielbergfilms.com/forum/...7&page=2&pp=20

That's almost 165 minutes worth of documentary material. I believe this will be the longest running time of special features included on a Spielberg DVD yet (don't count Indiana Jones because that was three movies, not one). This certainly looks promising.

Could someone please post in this thread the inclusion of any trailer for this movie on any current or future DVD? Thanks!

 

[Dwayne]

I am so looking forward to this release. This film was an all-out assault against all senses in the theater. Can't wait to fire this up on the projector and hear that awesome "foghorn" sound.

 

[Seppo]

It looks like none of the trailers will be included. :frowning: That's a shame because those trailers were pretty damn cool.

But you might want to check out the Special Collector's Edition DVD of the 1953 version because apparently that one includes the theatrical trailer for the Steven Spielberg film.

 

[PaulP]

Any other recent discs that might contain the trailer?

[Mark Bendiksen]

Well,
I didn't laugh, but I did cringe....big time. Ugh!

Are you sure? It's not listed in the HTF review.

As for this disc, I'll be there on opening day. I enjoyed the film and I am always a sucker for good demo material.

I'll also pick up the 1953 version, not only was that a very well done film, but the disc is packed with extras, including the radio broadcast.

DVD Times list it in the bonus features for the R2 release. URL: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=58867

 

[George_W_K]

Wow, that R2 cover is really nice! I wonder if only the R2 version will have to 2005 trailer.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

The 1953 War DVD does NOT include a trailer for the 2005 movie...

ATTENTION BUYERS! Though I can't find a reference to it on the Wal-Mart website, according to a large marketing placard at my local store, Wal-Mart will be offering an exclusive bonus DVD with purchase of WAR OF THE WORLDS [2005] (no details on its contents)!

 

[TonyD]

no trailer on the 1 disc version i have just a designing the enemy feature.
btw the dts track on this is spectacular.

no es or ex tho'

 

[Brent M]

If the Wal-Mart bonus disc is anything like the one that was offered with Episode III they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

 

[David Sal]

Don't get too excited about a bonus disc on Wal Mart. They probably attach it to the single disc edition only. Hell, maybe that's the only version they will carry!!!

 

[Travis Brashear]

Please God, let that not be true...
