20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has been giving its top tier catalog titles the lackluster treatment on Blu-ray Disc...
Speed only featured the commentaries and a poor BD-J enhanced game.
Die Hard lost the excellent interactive editing featurette.
Commando lost all of the bonus features and director's cut of the film.
Independence Day lost all of the documentaries.
Predator lost all of the bonus features.
But now with the demise of HD DVD, Fox is not afraid to push Blu-ray Disc to its limits anymore.
Planet of the Apes: 40 Year Evolution Blu-ray Collection crash lands November 4th, 2008 with over 20 hours of incredible bonus materials. Among the new added-value materials are a new public service announcement about the "Project Liberty" flight and new documentaries.
