This is one of the longest featurettes found on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of Spider-Man 3, coming in at about 17 minutes. It consists of interviews, behind the scenes footage and clips of the movie. Obviously, this is about audio, be it dialog, music or effects. The latter two get the most attention, ADR isn't really gone into(maybe it wasn't deemed as interesting). It does deal with foley(for the uninitiated, that's the recording of real-life stuff to be used for the flick as something other than what it actually is, often objects or beings that doesn't actually exist outside of the universe the story takes place in, or where the actual thing is too silent), and you get to see and hear cool stuff about where the countless specific sounds came from, where and how they were gathered. You get some insight into what a massive undertaking it is to create and mix all of this together for the cinema audience. It's well-edited, tight and kept to the essential. This is informative throughout, and paced right, never boring. You may enjoy this even if you are not usually into this particular aspect of the medium of film. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the subject. 7/10
