Extras. This release, available separately or as part of a trilogy box set, comes with a nice selection of bonus material. (*Blu-ray exclusive)
- Commentary. The track includes producer Len Wiseman, director Patrick Tatopolous, and a few other producers. The track is informative; not quite as fun as the ones on the first two films, but plenty of information about the shoot.
- From Script to Screen. This featurette takes a look at getting the script right, due to the story's place in the world of the first two films. They also discuss how they had to rush because of the Writer's Guild strike.
- The Origin of the Feud. This discusses the relationship of Lucian and Sonja and its role in the start of the war.
- Re-creating the Dark Ages. This goes into the production design and look of the movie.
- Music Video. This is for "Deathclub" by William Control. This is a remix by Wes Borland and Renholder. This gothic tune is kind of cool and reminds me of The Cure crossed with Orgy.
- *Cine-Chat. This lets you send messages to friends and others who are also watching the movie. I tried launching this a couple of times, but was unable to get it to load.
- *Behind the Castle Walls. This is pretty cool - a picture in picture feature with interviews and behind the scenes footage playing in a small window on screen with the feature.
- *Lycanthropes Around the World. This is an interactive map that provides information on werewolf sightings over the past 5,000 years.
- *Digital Copy. The second disk contains a standard definition copy that can be transferred to iTunes or Windows Media Player to
Bottomline. Not as fulfilling as the first two films, this still delivers on its promise of action. Much like the first two, I found it to be more fun at home on Blu-ray than it was when I saw it on the big screen. I am also happy to see the franchise has not been watered down to the PG-13 level like so many other franchises have.
