The DVD contains around 15 minutes of EXTRA FEATURES, as listed below:
1. REDISCOVERING CAESER (A 9 minute feature on ANDY SERKIS as CAESER)
2. THEATRICAL TRAILERS OF "THE DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES"
3. SNEAK PEEK AT " EXODUS - GODS AND KINGS"
4. PICTURE GALLERY
So, really, not much to offer in terms of bonus material here, but then something is better than nothing, especially when it comes to the bare bones INDIAN STEELBOOKS that have been coming out lately. Still, this could have been much better...but, let's no go there and we all better get used to this situation here in India. As for the STEELBOOK, it's just about OKAY... if you love this film and you like to collect STEELBOOKS, you can definitely go ahead with this. As for, the extra DVD (Phew!!) , well, it can come in handy if you want to keep a back up or rip it to your PC or something, or if you just want to lend it to one of your friends or relatives... or just make a custom cover and pack it inside and gift it to someone... or just let it be!
I mean, do we really need a DVD inside our precious BLU-RAY STEELBOOKS? That's definitely a matter of discussion...for some other time maybe.
