Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will finally drop on DVD this Tuesday, October 20th, after its massive $400 million box office run in the U.S.

It’s still the #1 film of the year by a margin of about $100 million; second is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with $300 million.

In an interview for the DVD release, screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (who are sitting out Transformers 3) talked about the film’s love-it-or-hate-it reactions:

Question: Did you expect the Transformers Sequel to be so divisive? People seemed to love it or hate it.

Orci: Yeah… Sequels are easy targets, and the film was undertaken under the pressure of the writer’s strike, it was bigger louder and longer than the first one.

Kurtzman: It’s very hard to gauge what’s going to work with people and what’s not going to work. Because what one person says is way too long, but my 12 year old cousin would say “I wish it was longer!” And so that totally confuses me, so I think that at the end of the day, Mchael (Bay – Director) has his rhythm and his pace and he can determine in the editing how long he wants the movie to be.

The two-disc special edition is available on Amazon for $22.99 — read all about the special features here.
