Special Features
X-Men

X-Men finally debuts on Blu-ray, and with it comes a heaping helping of bonus materials spread across two discs. Disc one begins with a feature commentary track with Director Bryan Singer (Superman Returns) and Brian Peck. This duo delivers a suitably interesting track, one that flows nicely and covers plenty of information about a broad spectrum of topics related to the film and the X-Men universe. Fans will be pleased with this offering. Enhanced Viewing Mode allows viewers to watch a version of the film with deleted and extended scenes inserted into the film. Also available is a selection of 17 behind-the-scenes pieces that may be viewed during the film by pressing the "1" button on the remote when an "X" icon appears on-screen. Finally, an extended commentary track is available when watching the movie in Enhanced Viewing Mode. All of the deleted and extended scenes are also available through the Enhanced Viewing Mode tab or the Deleted Scenes / Extended Scenes (480p, 11:02) tab of the main menu, while the behind-the-scenes features are accessible instantly from the Enhanced Viewing Mode tab.

Fox Special: 'The Mutant Watch' (480p, 21:57) is part mock news presentation featuring a character from the film, Senator Robert Kelly, and others discussing the "mutant threat" and the proposed solutions to the perceived problem and part behind-the-scenes piece featuring interview clips with the cast and crew discussing the evolution of the mutants and their place in the world. Bryan Singer Interview (480p, 6:17) is a five-part feature where the director sits down with Charlie Rose and discusses brining X-Men to the big screen, his choice in accepting the job of director, the process of directing a major studio film, and more. Also included on disc one are two Animatics: Liberty Head (480p, 1:07) and Train Station (480p, 0:56). Concluding the supplements on disc one is a pair of Art Galleries (Character Design and Production Design), three TV spots (480p, 1:36 combined runtime), an advertisement for the soundtrack (480p, 0:31), and 1080p trailers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four. This disc is also D-Box enabled.

Disc two features Evolution X (480p, 2:16:39). This is an in-depth and interactive documentary that takes viewers behind-the-scenes during the film. When an "X" icon appears on-screen, additional material is available for viewing. This documentary is broken up into several separate parts as follows, each selectable from the disc's main menu. The Uncanny Suspects (24:16) features the cast recounting their familiarities with the X-Men universe prior to the film, sharing their thoughts on how the film works for both fans and newcomers, and the qualities of each character. The piece moves on to look at the selection of director Bryan Singer as director and the strengths he brought to the film, the themes of the film, behind-the-scenes footage, some of the differences between comic and film, and more. Also included with this piece is Hugh Jackman's First Reading (480p, 11:00), Hugh Jackman's Screen Test (480p, 1:56), and Character Still Gallery.

Next up in Evolution X is X-Factor (480p, 22:47), an extensive look at the design of each character. The piece looks at the prosthetics, costumes, props, and more, as seen in the film. Also available through the magic of seamless branching are costume tests for Cyclops (480p, 480p, 1:17), Storm (480p, 1:25), Toad (480p, 3:27), and an Image Gallery featuring Hardware, Locations, Magneto, and Xavier's School. Moving on, Production Documentary Scrapbook (480p, 1:03:26) takes an extensive look at the nitty-gritty aspects of moviemaking, taking viewers inside production meetings, the construction of sets, the assemblage of props, walkthroughs of scenes, scouting locations, scene set-up, choreography, and plenty more. The piece is a hodgepodge of moviemaking magic, a rather fascinating feature that takes an honest and informative look at how a movie comes together. This piece also offers a few multi-angle features to view scenes from several different perspectives.

Evolution X continues with The Special Effects of 'The X-Men' (480p, 17:28) which, of course, examines the film's impressive use of visual effects that enhance the film and the characters. Through seamless branching, users may choose to view the following: Sen. Kelly Effects Breakdown (480p, 5:00), Liberty Head (Multi-Angle) (480p, 0:16), Toad vs. Jean (Multi-Angle) (480p, 0:14), Wolverine vs. Mystique (Multi-Angle) (480p, 0:26) and Wolverine vs. Sabertooth (Multi-Angle) (480p, 0:57). Reflection of 'The X-Men' (480p, 8:38) features cast and crew recounting the anxieties of the premier and the fan and critical reaction to the film. Also included via seamless branching is Ellis Island Premiere (480p, 4:21) and Premieres Around the World (480p, 18:51). Concluding this extensive set of extras is Marketing 'The X-Men', a collection of three theatrical trailers (1080p, 5:25), nine TV spots (480p, 4:46), and a dozen Internet Interstitials (480p, 11:00).

X2: X-Men United

X2 comes to Blu-ray filled to the brim with bonus features, spread across two discs. Disc one offers up a pair of commentary tracks, the first featuring Director Bryan Singer and Cinematographer Tom Sigel. This track is another solid one, a light and breezy offering that is easy on the ears but also fairly informative. Singer and Sigel cover all the basics, dissecting the action sequences, the sets, the special effects, and more. The second track features Producers Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter, Co-Writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, and Screenwriter David Hayter. This track is not quite as entertaining as the first, but the participants do a fine job of sharing plenty of anecdotes, recounting the appearances of the sets, shooting locations, production challenges, character traits and developments, and more. It's a decent commentary, one that hardcore fans will enjoy, but it doesn't flow as well as the Director/Cinematographer track and isn't a particularly engaging listen for casual fans. Also included on disc one are trailers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men, X-Men: The Last Stand, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four. This disc is also D-Box enabled.

Moving along to disc two, the first feature is entitled History of 'The X-Men', a piece broken into two segments: The Secret Origin of 'X-Men' (480p, 15:26) and Nightcrawler Reborn (480p, 7:37). The former features Stan Lee and Chris Claremont discussing how the characters and the comic came about and moves on to look at the movie franchise, featuring interview clips with Executive Producers Avi Arad and Tom DeSanto, Producer Lauren Shuler Donner, Director Bryan Singer, Lee, and Claremont. The latter examines the history of the character that plays an important role in X2. Next up is Pre-Production, another piece divided into several segments. Nightcrawler Attack -- Multi-Angle Study (480p, 2:23) shows the construction of a scene from four perspectives -- Animatic, Unfinished Effects, Animatic/Final Film Comp, and Unfinished Effects/Final Film Comp. Evolution in the Details -- Designing 'X2' (480p, 18:01) features Production Designer Guy Dyas and Technical Advisor Bob Snow taking viewers through the world seen in the film, looking at the sets and props seen throughout. Concluding the Pre-Production segment is United Colors of 'X2' (480p, 8:57), a look at the costuming of the film.

Production is another feature divided, this time into six separate mini-pieces. Wolverine/Deathstrike Fight Rehearsal (480p, 1:24) is a brief behind-the-scenes piece featuring the fight scene in an early stage of development. The Second Uncanny Issue of 'X-Men' -- Making 'X2' (480p, 59:27) is a comprehensive making-of piece that features a discussion on returning to the world introduced in the first film and moving it forward, writing the screenplay, ensuring continuity in the cast and director, behind-the-scenes looks at the making of various scenes, cast and crew interviews, and much more. Intorducing the INCREDIBLE NIGHTCRAWLER! (480p, 9:49) features star Alan Cumming discussing the character, his rehearsals for the part, and the make-up and prosthetics used. Nightcrawler Stunt Rehearsal (480p, 2:27) features an animatic and rehearsal footage of the film's opening action sequence. Nightcrawler Time-Lapse (480p, 3:40) features the lengthy process of transforming from actor to mutant in a condensed time period. Finally, FX2 -- Visual Effects (480p, 24:58) looks at the making of the many intricate special effects seen in the picture. Post-Production is divided into two parts. Requiem For Mutants -- The Score of 'X2' (480p, 11:39) features Editor/Composer John Ottman discussing his work on the film. 'X2' Global Webcast Highlights (480p, 17:01) features cast and crew answering fan questions from the Internet. Next up are a series of 11 deleted scenes (480p, 11:58) and several still galleries -- Characters, Locations and Sets, Mutant X-Rays, Nightcrawler Circus Posters, On-Camera Graphics, and The Unseen 'X2'. Concluding the special features are three of the film's theatrical trailers (1080p, 0:37, 1:44, and 2:26).

X3: The Last Stand

Like the Blu-ray releases of X-Men and X2, X-Men: The Last Stand features supplements spread over two discs. Disc one is highlighted by two commentary tracks, the first featuring Director Brett Ratner and Writers Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn. This is fairly generic commentary track and, with two writers chiming in, it comes as no surprise that the art of scriptwriting and the process of forming the story plays center stage. On the flip side, Ratner offers plenty of technical details behind the process of the shoot. The track is fairly entertaining, but is best suited for the film's most ardent fans. Track two features Producers Avi Arad, Lauren Shuller Donner, and Ralph Winter. This track is significantly slower in pace and lacks substantive information. Bland, marked by some moments of dead air that are just long enough to become a distraction, and the participant's insistence on almost whispering their comments makes this one strictly for fans with nothing better to do with their time. Also included on disc one are a plethora of deleted scenes presented in 1080p high definition and with optional commentary from Ratner, Kinberg, and Penn, as well as 1080p trailers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men, X2: X-Men United, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four. This disc is also D-Box enabled.

Disc two begins with Brett Ratner's Production Diary (480p, 41:21), a lengthy but fairly interesting up-close-and-personal look at the nitty-gritty behind-the-scenes work that went into the making of X3, including shooting schedules, rehearsals, scene preparation, and plenty more. 'X-Men:' Evolution of a Trilogy (480p, 44:58) is a retrospective look back at the entirety of the trilogy, featuring cast and crew analyzing picture production, themes, characters, casts, and more. 'X3:' The Excitement Continues (1080i, 21:16) is a basic behind-the-scenes feature where the cast and crew talk up the movie and one another. 'X-Men' Up Close (480p) allows viewers to learn more about their favorite characters through text-based biographies. Anatomy of a Scene: Golden Gate Bridge (1080i, 12:03) looks at the making of one of the film's most spectacular special effects. Generation X: Comic Book History (480p, 1:08:32) is a fascinating journey through the world of comics, with particular attention paid to the X-Men, that should satisfy both fans and newcomers alike.

Next up is Fox Movie Channel Presents: Life After Film School (480p, 26:14), a piece that features Producer Ralph Winter discussing the filmmaking process with a trio of film school students, with special emphasis on the X-Men films. Fox Movie Channel Presents: Casting Session (480p, 10:05) is a piece that features Stan Lee and others discussing the process of assembling the perfect cast. Next up are a series of vignettes presented in 1080i: Prophecies (4:31), 'X-Men' Politics (4:09), Clothing vs. Costume (4:11), Make-Up Chair Confessions (3:04), Weapons of Choice (3:07), On-Set Effects (2:31), and Learning to Fly (5:31). Blogs is, again, a piece divided into several small segments, presented in 1080i: Production Teaser (0:56), Live From the Danger Room (3:14), MARVELous Cameos (3:01), and Editing Magic (7:04). Moving along, Previz Animatics (480p, 25:45) offers fans a chance to witness twenty scenes in a raw, computerized rendition. Next are a pair of still galleries -- Character Stills and Concept Art, Storyboards & Models. Concluding this supplemental package are three trailers for the film (1080p, 1:35, 2:26, and 7:11).

Digital Copies

What sets this collection apart from the standalone trio of X-Men Blu-ray discs, aside from the slipcover housing the discs, is the inclusion of a digital copy of each film, making this a nine-disc set. Sampled on a second generation iPod Touch, each film looks about as good as one might expect, with solid levels of detail, good coloring, and minimal blocking and banding. The audio suffices but offers little in the way of noticeable quality, even for a digital copy. It features crisp dialogue and music reproduction but lacks during the action scenes. The tracks feature only moderate heft, but superior quality should be considered a bonus rather than a disappointment for on-the-go viewing, and this trio of digital copies do their jobs well enough.
