A high-definition release of the controversial Catholic thriller proves a better experience for Glen than the original…
I noticed two strangers start up a conversation about the book they were both reading.
Like the book, the film was immensely successful grossing over $700,000,000 at the box office.
Disc 2 features the majority of these, packing in a load of documentaries totaling just over 2 hours.
These range from 2-25 minutes in length and vary greatly in terms of how interesting they are.
I found most to be pretty dull, but there are a few engaging moments.
Disc 2 also features trailers forClose Encounters Of The Third Kind:30th anniversary edition, Damages: season 1andSeven Pounds.
Disc 1 is where the majority of Blu-ray exclusives can be found.
Ever wanted chat, online, to other people watchingThe Da Vinci Codeat the same time as you?
Generally, I find these kinds of things distracting but its quite good here.
You get a four-minute scene as well as the theatrical trailer.
Overall, Sony has put together a very good package here.
One of the best transfers Ive seen for a non-animated movie.
The release coincides nicely with the release ofAngels & Demonswhich is out on the 14th May.
