James Franco (127 Hours) stars as Will Rodman, a neuroscientist living in San Francisco trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease by testing on chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. After a test subject's baby, Caesar, is orphaned, Will decides to raise him at home on his own with his Alzheimer-stricken father (John Lithgow; Dexter). What begins simply as a continuation of his experiment quickly turns into a problem for Will, as Caesar is taken away from him and forced to live in a primate facility. As Caesar's intelligence continues to grow, he begins to stake his claim as the leader of his new primate counterparts, which will ultimately lead to the Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Directed by Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist), this special effects blockbuster features fantastic supporting performances from Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Brian Cox (Red), Tom Felton (Harry Potter films) and Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) in a ground-breaking performance. The Rise of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray is loaded with bonus material including deleted scenes, making-of featurettes commentaries and more.

DVD - Because then I have a copy to take with me to friend's houses that don't have Blu-ray players, I can loan the DVD to my brother so he doesn't have to watch the movie with me and yap through the whole thing, and I can take it on trips in the car, on a plane, etc.
Blu-ray - I'm pretty sure the entire reasoning behind the combo packs is so people who don't already have Blu-ray, but plan to in the future, can start building on a collection beforehand. I'll admit I'm actually currently doing that with 3D Blu-ray's, but I'm VERY selective about them.

@moviefreak97 Why would you want a DVD if you have Blu-Ray player? Or why would you want a Blu-Ray if you only have a DVD player?

@2movieguys @moviegeek How are combo packs a waste of money when you're getting two (three if you count the digital copy) copies of the movie for only about $2-3 more than the DVD price?

@ghostman I agree with @2movieguys (for once lol). DVD/Blu-Ray combos are a rip off.
