Why do we like owning a digital copy of the films we love? The answer is simple – we want to ensure that whatever we hold dear to our heart must be within reach.
As for M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass” that is being released on Blu-Ray on April 16th, have you ever asked yourself what lies beneath the world we know nothing about? What our eyes ignore to see, and what we’re unable to hear? What if, while we’re asleep at night, all the fantastic creatures, men and women, in masks go out to fight in the name of justice? And by the time we open our eyes, we pick up things where we left them off at night? I like to think that the universe we live in is more fun than it appears. That it has secrets to keep from us because our safety is a major concern to those who control the truth.
As you have already seen it on the silver screen, I’m sure there is a lot more you would like to learn which the Blu-Ray edition of “Glass“ delivers, including all the missing elements in the long puzzle of Shyamalan’s piece, including an alternate opening and the deleted scenes. Also, there’s the conversation with James McAvoy and M. Night Shyamalan and the entire process of bringing the team together for you to enjoy it throughout. Like a cherry on top of a pie, all the alternate scenes are being introduced by the director himself to ensure you won’t be misled in the rich world of superheroes and villains fighting each other to protect us.
“Glass” has everything you need to enjoy your two hours – a bit of humor, intense storyline, action scenes, and even a love story. I am afraid I won’t be able to reveal more than I already have. Shyamalan delivers a satisfactory piece that all the “Unbreakable” and “Split” fans will enjoy thoroughly. But do not worry if you happen to have not seen either of them. “Glass” is one of those films that won’t confuse you or send you back to watch the first two parts of its trilogy. Even watching the final piece you will be able to find yourself briefed quickly to what really happens in this superhero world, and why the same world is kept in the dark for the sake of humanity.
That said, there are many films that end up being number 1 in North America for three or more weeks in a row, but not all of them stand out as “Glass” does in terms of its intelligent concept, I must admit, may be missed by many. Since it’s already out on the shelves of your nearest store or ready to be seen OnDemand starting April 16th, there is an excellent opportunity arising to make your home more entertaining, creative, diverse, and full of superhero universe where, at the end of the day, the truth will find its way to come out after clicking on a magical button called “play”.
