My 1-star review is not for the movie, Predator, which I love.I bought it twice on DVD: the first single-disc release with no extras, and then the excellent 2-disc special edition.I am not going to be buying on Blu-Ray, however, until the chowder-heads over at Fox start including all of the ALREADY PRODUCED extras on their Blu-Ray discs.Case in point: Predator.Predator on Blu-Ray features a higher definition transfer (though on a single layer disc), but carries over none of the special features from the 2-disc DVD.How hard would this have been?Make it a dual layer Blu-Ray, and just throw them all on there in standard definition.That would have guaranteed and instant buy for me.But this habit of dumping the film bare-bones onto Blu-Ray is reminiscent of the early days of DVD, and I thought we were past that.Other studios are doing a fine job of including all the special features, so why is Fox being dumb?And why are they slapping a $40 MSRP on a bare-bones release?
You would have had me with a good release, Fox.I would gladly plonk down the cash for a true upgrade from my DVD version.But you blew it, and you're not getting my money.
