As I remember it The "IMAX version" was only a couple of scenes and not of the best quality so no great loss. Also, assuming they didn't record anything new, the commentaries with Howard and with the Lovells are two different commentaries. |

Day one purchase, as long as the PQ is up to snuff (for a film that was shot intentionally soft). |

Can't wait for this on Blu! I don't care if the IMAX version isn't included; it was more like an edited-for-TV version. |
