On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.
Elsewhere on the Fediverse:
Rules:
Streamed it first to see if it was worth buying on disc, it is.
They have a really cool commentary feature where the image is shrunk to a 4:3 image so they can split it top and bottom.
The top image is the film as presented, the bottom image is the raw footage before visual effects were applied.
It lets you see how much of the film was digital and how much was practical. Complete with commentary.
Is this only on the 4K disc or also on the blu-ray?
It's only on the Blu Ray, the 4K is only the theatrical release.
Ok, thanks! I think I will pick up the "regular" blu-ray then, this extra sounds really intriguing!

When I poster this at the time there was a video showing clips of this that isn't showing now, but that clearly shows all the main cast acting together, so the blue screen studio wasn't empty.
A surprising amount of the film was actually shot on location. The screengrabs here don't do it justice.
This cut is apparently the first of its kind, too! Hopefully this sets a new trend.
I’m honestly shocked the likes of Lord of the Rings or Marvel movies with lots of mocap didn’t already do this.
I'm definitely looking forward to watching that.
I'd advise watching the 4K first then watching the split screen... but then that goes for any commentary track.
I watched it in the cinema, so may save the 4k for a rewatch.
