Good things come to those who wait. Transformers: Dark of the Moon released to Blu-ray on Sept. 30 but the Combo Pack didn’t come with a 3D version or any extras to speak of. Now Paramount has announced a bulkier release of the film to hit shelves on Jan. 31, 2012. Transformers: Dark of the Moon 4-disc Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD combo pack will contain almost four hours of bonus features plus an UltraViolet copy of the film. Glad you waited?
The bonus features include a full two-hour documentary about the making of the film with stunt secrets and behind the scenes footage. Other bonuses include “The Dark of the Moon Archive,” artists’ renderings of the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, “NASA’s Future Then and Now” featurette, and ‘Deconstructing Chicago” previsualizations.
Both the 3D and 3D Blu-ray editions are formatted in 1080p high definition with 7.1 Dolby TrueHD and 5.1 Discrete Dolby Digital. The extra DVD is formatted in 16:9 with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and 2.0 Discrete Surround.
