Transformers H.U.D. (Heads Up Display) —In this mode, viewers can access running text-based behind-the-scenes background information on the production during the feature. Users can also watch relevant picture-in-picture B-roll and video with Bay, Spielberg, and other filmmakers during select sequences. This is a blast to watch, alternate scenes really showing us how funny Shia LaBoeuf can be and behind the scenes info on the movie and action on screen. The pop-up mechanic is amazing.
