You've probably seen Optimus Prime on TV commercials this week, imploring you to catch him in full high-definition. Yes, the mega blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen arrives on Blu-ray this week to rock your home theater world.
It definitely headlines an otherwise pedestrian release week, with the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack and scope 2.39:1 aspect ratio sure to look and sound sweet on your big home theater screen. There's even an IMAX edition release, which is a Walmart exclusive.
Of course, we're going for action here and not Oscar-winning plots. Transformers was pretty widely panned, which brings us to another of this week's Blu-ray releases along those lines ... Kevin Costner's ultra-expensive and underwhelming Waterworld. It also includes DTS-HD MA, and original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Is it worth another viewing after 14 years since its much-anticipated theatrical release? Maybe ... as a rental.
If you're looking for more of a classic to try out on Blu-ray, look for Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider and get a dose of the late 60s counterculture as well as early Jack Nicholson in a breakout role.
