The other main featurette on the second disc is titled “Planet Krypton” and is a faux-documentary about Kryptonian life, the planet, their customs and more. I don’t know that I’m ready to surrender individual featurettes solely to this format just yet, but it’s certainly a style I could get used to, especially for films I adore. I wasn’t crazy about this style of special features, as opposed to individual videos, but the more I watched it, the more it grew on me. Unlike previous attempts at “pop-up” features that play during the film, this is a more immersive experience that is captivating, interesting, and informative.
Man of steel blu ray mega special features movie#
Titled “Journey of Discovery: Creating Man of Steel,” the featurette plays the movie while simultaneously showing off behind-the-scenes footage, visual effects tests, and interviews with the cast and crew. The second disc for Man of Steel is where the real meat of the additional content is located.
In addition, there is a featurette for The Hobbit about the various New Zealand locations that have been transformed into Middle-earth – it’s kind of baffling why it’s included. Also included on the first disc is the 75th anniversary short, directed by Snyder which you can watch by clicking here. One more shorter featurette revolves around Dylan Sprayberry (young Clark Kent) interviewing the visual effects supervisor about some of the designs and the more complex visual shots, again kind of filler but it still holds some interesting answers about the making of the film. It’s cool to see the things these actors did to get their bodies into “superhuman shape,” but at a point it feels like a filler feature in lieu of more interesting behind-the-scenes content. Titled “All Out Action,” the featurette goes into the workout routines for stars Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon and Antje Traue, in addition to some peeks at the stunt work for the film. Forced to embrace his otherworldly origins for the first time in his life, Clark Kent dons the special suit from Krypton and prepares to take a stand against an enemy far more powerful than any he's ever known.The next big featurette on the first disc, while interesting, really has no need to be nearly half an hour long. Later, the airwaves are hijacked by General Zod, who threatens to obliterate the human race if they fail to hand over Kal-El within 24 hours. Convinced that his presence on Earth is proof of life on other planets, Lois finds her attempt to publish the story thwarted by her boss Perry White (Laurence Fishburne), who rejects it outright. Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) has just come to investigate when, after venturing out with her camera, she has a profound encounter with Clark. In time, Clark's travels take him to a frozen tundra, where the American government has discovered an 18,000-year-old anomaly buried deep in the ice. Named Clark and raised by kindly farmers Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane), young Kal-El lives in fear of what might happen should his neighbors learn about his extraterrestrial origins, eventually exploring the world in search of himself. While the young child travels through space with an object containing the DNA of his home planet, General Zod and his cohorts are sentenced to an eternity in a black-hole prison. As the planet of Krypton crumbles, General Zod (Michael Shannon) stages a coup as concerned leader Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and his wife send their infant son Kal-El to a distant world called Earth.
