As with the previous entry, Marvel once again packaged a great little Blu-ray for the home entertainment release of Ant-Man. The commentary from director Peyton Reed is full of fun little informational nuggets - from the Pymtech building actually also being the news station in Anchorman 2 to the fact that Falcon's cameo was actually Paul Rudd's idea. It's a rarity for a Blu-ray commentary to be this entertaining; Ant-Man accomplished it. But then, who is surprised, really? Considering how flat-out entertaining the film itself turned out to be. The crazy and colourful special effects within the movie - specifically, when Scott Lang (Rudd) shrinks down in size - have never looked so vivid, and the behind-the-scenes look at their creation provided within the extra features will definitely leave fans impressed with the innovations involved in presenting said SFX to the world. The extras included here are great, and the film looks even better. If you don't want to get Age of Ultron on Blu-ray (and fair enough), make sure you at least get this.
