Blu-ray Review: Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer - Page 2

Anyway, a wealth of features begins with Family Bonds, a 46 minute making of that delivers on all counts. It’s loaded with behind-the-scenes footage. The Fantasticar: State of the Art looks at how the vehicle in the film was crafted. This one goes for over 10 minutes. The Power Cosmic discusses the visual effects of The Silver Surfer for 15 minutes.

Sentinel of the Spaceways – Comic Book Origins of the Silver Surfer is a long, 40 minute piece on the character and his lasting impact. Scoring the Fantastic is a short piece on the soundtrack. Character Design with Spectral Motion is an 11 minute look at The Thing suit, and the improvements made to make it easy for Chiklis to perform.

Five deleted scenes are available, each with an optional commentary from Tim Story. Two games, one a basic trivia title and another involving strategy game are included for fans. Stills, trailers, and support for D-Box systems round off an excellent array of special features.

In another expected cameo, Stan Lee gains screen time as a rejected wedding guest as Sue Storm and Reed Richards are tying the knot. This is a second role in which the creator of the heroes is given a part directly lifted from the comics. The same scene appeared during the same storyline in the comics, with an obvious representation of Lee himself drawn onto the pages.
