Troy Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Although the lack of a commentary track is an obvious omission, there are still plenty of supplements to please fans of this film. The supplements begin with an introduction by director Wolfgang Peterson (1080p, 2:30). He discusses having the opportunity to revisit the film without studio pressure to trim down the runtime and violence. Troy In Focus (1080p, 23:09) is an eleven part feature that briefly examines many of the challenges in making the film, including casting, re-creating the weapons of the time, and even dealing with the paparazzi are all discussed.

In the Thick of Battle (1080p windowboxed, 17:12) is a five-part feature that looks at the making of the combat in the film. From Ruins to Reality (1080p windowboxed, 14:00) is a six part feature that showcases the rigors of filming during a hurricane, building sets and props to look realistic to the setting, and the search for external inspirations for the film. Troy: An Effects Odyssey (1080p windowboxed, 10:52), as you may guess, is a seven part look at the making of the effects including making an armada of ships out of two, making a 50,000 man army, and recreating the sounds of swordplay combat. Attacking Troy (1080p, 15:13) is a three part feature that, despite the name, is really a hodgepodge of material ranging from adapting The Iliad to modern times to deciding on the fighting tendencies of each hero to the challenges of flipping a chariot. Greek Ship Towing (1080p, 1:25) is a comedy routine featuring some of the early and crude computer animated effects that served as the basis for the final effects in the film. Finally, the film's theatrical trailer (1080p, 2:07) concludes the presentation of this group of supplements.

One issue I have with the way Warner Brothers presents their extras is that they drag out the description of each extra to make them look much more substantial than they really are. For example, they fill up nearly the entire screen with just information about the Troy In Focus feature. It looks like a plethora of extras, which in reality it is, but when all eleven of them have a combined runtime of just over 23 minutes, it's deceiving.

Troy Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Troy is a pretty good movie that is mostly impressive for it's look and style rather than its take on the tale. The film succeeds as an exciting, action packed epic with excellent direction, choreography, cinematography, costuming, and special effects. It features mixed acting performances, but for the most part they range from "decent" to "good." The film is worth watching for the above mentioned reasons, but it will likely never be shown to serious students of history or literature as it is not completely true to either the book or what we know of the ancient history behind the situation depicted in the film. This Blu-ray disc looks excellent. It's a demo-worthy disc that sports a crystal clear image that ranks among the very best I have ever seen. The PCM audio track is very, very good as well. The supplements are deceptively short and lacking in the depth I was hoping for. On the whole, this is a good movie and a good disc that is worth adding to your Blu-ray collection. Recommended.
