Rob Cohen’s commentary is interesting from a technical and anecdotal point of view, and makes you appreciate just how much work goes into a project of this scope. Ironically, he talks about very fine details that seem immaterial to such a brainless action movie.

With the help of Bale’s increasing onscreen confidence in leading roles, Herzog wields the camera to achieve a taut, urgent tone not simply like it’s a war-zone documentary but through a warped, almost fish-eye lens that brings every surrounding into frighteningly close relief.

Roadshow have aimed the release squarely at the under 15s, but if they ever decide on another release, one for the fans of filmmaking craft wouldn’t go astray. It’d be great to see the technical details behind an incredible project that marshalled several hundred computer technicians alone.
