Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

I wish everyone could have seen this in a Dolby Cinema theater. I can't imagine a better way to see it.

 

Apparently the Blu Ray has an alternate version of the movie. I wasn't planning on getting as much as I liked it in theater, but this has me curious enough to get it.

 

Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic in 4K HDR. INTENSE doesn't begin to describe it.

You can setup the disc to play either the original theatrical version, or an alternate version (I assume from an alternate universe) that's about 30 minutes longer. Apparently, the latter has cameos by Tom Cruise and Jim Cameron (!!!), among other things.

 

I preordered the Blueray and just got around to watching this with the kids. We all loved it, great movie.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse contains an audio commentary track, several featurettes, lyric videos, and more. A DVD copy of the film and a Movies Anywhere digital copy code are included with purchase. This release ships with a non-embossed slipcover.

• Alternate Universe Mode (1080p, 2:23:31): From the Blu-ray: "Watch in Alternate Universe Mode to discover alternate scenes, plot lines, characters and more with the filmmakers as your guide!" This is an entirely different "cut" with a number of scenes presented in early black-and-white storyboard concept stages that build a familiar, but ultimately unique, take on the film compared to its finished product. It sometimes includes humorous "commentary" by Will Gluck.
• Audio Commentary: Co-Writer and Producer Phil Lord, Producer Chris Miller, Directors Bob Persichetti and Peter Ramsey, and Co-Director and Co-Writer Rodney Rothman deliver a fun and breezy but also deeply insightful track that covers a multitude of filmmaking details. It's compelling for this film's uniqueness and excellence both.
• "Caught in a Ham" Short (1080p, 4:01): Presented in the style of a vintage WB cartoon, the short film follows Spider-Ham battling the villainous "Dr. Craw-daddy."
• We Are Spider-Man (1080p, 7:51): Cast and crew talk up the benefits of folding multiple Spider-Man variations into the film and discuss some of the core character qualities, Shameik Moore's vocal performance, and more.
• Spider-Verse: A New Dimension (1080p, 5:09): A detailed discussion of the movie's visual style.
• The Ultimate Comics Cast (1080p, 15:02): An in-depth discussion of the film's key voice cast and the qualities the actors brought to the characters.

• Designing Cinematic Comic Book Characters: Scoundrels & Scorpions (1080p, 5:11): Similar to the supplement above but focused on the villains who appear in the film.
• A Tribute to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (1080p, 8:34): Remembering the icons who first brought Spider-Man to life and passed away within months of one another in 2018.
• The Spider-Verse Super Fan Easter Egg Challenge (1080p, 5:02): The filmmakers share some of the secrets that appear in the film.

I really wish I had seen this in a theater, but watching it on DVD was better than not seeing it all. It's one of the best films, animated or live action, that I've seen in a long time. It's just totally eye popping in terms of its "look" but more importantly, it really has a heart. Of all the characters, my favorite has to be the older Peter Parker. I found it fascinating to see a version of the character that's become a total mess as a person and then to see him somehow recapture the very best part of himself.

 

The 4K in my home theater is amazing. I'm fairly spoiled and not likely to be impressed often (with respect to image/sound), but seeing this one the right way makes quite an impression!

 

I watched it two weeks ago and since then my kids have watched it every day. I'm not mad about it at all.

In terms of animation, Best animated movie maybe ever? One of the best kid/adult soundtracks since, ever? The innovation all around was unreal and unrivaled in recent memory.

 

Saw it on Netflix and was blown away by the animation and imagery! Wish I had seen it on a big screen in a theater!

 

It was quite the trip. I saw it twice in the theater and it rewarded multiple viewings.

 

Just saw this last night. Cool movie and excellent animation.

 

Found an interesting thing out just last week, Miles at the beginning is animated at the normal 12 frames a second for traditional cel animation, while Peter B. Parker is animated at a full 24 frames a second. As he becomes more comfortable as Spider-Man, his frame rate increases:

 

Sequel coming April 8 - 2022.
