One question: How were the feature-length commentaries? I've never heard a commentary by Ron Howard before. Were Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman forthcoming with interesting information throughout the length of the movie?Both are good but unexceptional. Howard's is probably the better of the two, though it's not a great commentary. To quote myself: "Howard gives us enough useful information to make the track worth a listen, but it seems inconsistent." He also did tracks for Apollo 13, EdTV and I think that's it, though I'm not sure about that. Actually, his A13 discussion is really quite good, as is the whole DVD - you should give it a look.
As for Goldsman, here's another self-quote: "Although he seems chattier than Howard does – fewer empty spots occur – Goldsman also provide less useful information."
