Fantastic Four 2 extras? - Blu-ray Forum

EricJ · 10-23-2007, 07:49 PM

Okay, dumb question, and probably for the Newbies, but:

If "Fantastic 4: Rise of Surfer" isn't a 2-disk, where can I find the extras?
Maybe it's that I'm watching a Netflix rental, but all I'm getting on my PS3 is nice themed menu graphics with one themed button that says "Play", which plays the movie.
Is it Profile, is it some LG-like issue with the PS3 as player, or can someone help me through the basics?

If I remember correctly, pushing up down left or right on the main menu would open a sub menu with other stuff in it. For example, you could press down to get to setup, up to get to special features, right to get to scene selection, etc. It's been a few weeks, but there are a few features on that BD that are fun to watch. Enjoy!

I assume you mean blu-ray, I hear that Rise of the Silver Surfer has BD-Live capabilities (the first disc I have heard thats out as of now). I have never heard of a second disc included in the blu-ray version. The BD-Live seems to work well with the PS3

Like someone else mentioned, just use the up/down arrows to cycle through the menu until you see special features (I think is what they called it). Press enter and it'll launch the special features menu.

There is a second disc with the circuit City version, but it's just a DVD with their exclusive extras on it

EricJ · 10-23-2007, 08:29 PM

Hey, gimme a break--
It's my first ever disk (not intentional, just that the Netflix arrived before the free ones), and you can see how us old-timer DVD-generation viewers are too used to the old menus that had "Play - Scene Selection - Setup" all in front of us...

...If the Blu menus are going to be spiffy with the new technology, well, it's going to take some practice getting accustomed to.

We watched this last night. It was candy for the eyes and ears, even with my BD-S1 which I suppose does not take full advantage of the DTSHD-MA 5.1 sound (I still find some of these things a little confusing). In many reviews the movie did not do well, but my gosh, you have to have reasonable expectations, given the subject and the previous movie. IMO, this is one you can use to show off your BD home theater to your friends with. There was a slight grain in some of the lighter shots (like sky scenes) that looks like grain from the source. The mercuric silver surfer and the flameboy looked fabulous, though. Minor complaints were Jessica Alba's character being a nag of a fiancee, the view of Mount Fuji from the seashore was concocted, and the view of the Sphinx in front of the pyramids was also fake. Also, why ocean didn't rush up the Thames confuses me, too.
