Title Best
Day After Tomorrow, The: Two-Disc Special EditionR4

     The Day After Tomorrow is being released on DVD in the States on October 12 - strange we should get a movie such as this before them. Both versions have DTS but rather unusually the Americans have been well and truly stiffed in the extras department. They have only a single disc release with a separate Pan & Scan version available for those who haven't yet realised why widescreen is so much better. Compared to our humble Region 4 version Region 1 version misses out the following from above:

  • Deleted Scenes (x8) (they only get 2)
  • Featurette: The Force Of Destiny: The Science & Politics Of Climate Change
  • Featurette: Previsualization
  • Featurette: Pre-Production Meeting
  • Gallery: Storyboard Gallery
  • Gallery: Concept Art Gallery
  • Featurette: Eye Of The Storm: Filming The Day After Tomorrow
  • Featurette: Pushing The Envelope: Visual Effects
  • Featurette: Scoring
  • Featurette: Global Watch
  • Featurette: City Freeze

     I'm not exactly sure what the story is here but I suspect this is no accident - Fox are probably preparing a Special Edition version in the States with the view to cashing in twice on the same film. Need I even say Region 4 is a winner by a huge margin - and believe me, I take great pleasure in saying that as it's extremely rare, particularly for an American film. If you'll pardon the pun the tides have certainly turned in this instance!
