I think that DVD and Blu-ray have given us the power to make our films quite interactive. I still remember seeing DVDs in the early part of the last decade that had some weird thing appear on the screen during the film which led to some special feature.

Sony Pictures have allowed Men in Black 3 to have a special interactive edition known as Movie Touch. Movie Touch is an app that is available for those who have the film already on their iPad. You can download the app for free, and see the first 10 minutes of the film.

I had a chance to try out the MIB 3 Movie Touch, and I found the experience interesting. You can essentially watch the film, and you will see a place below where you can touch to find out movie facts, music, and more. Check out a full list after the jump.

Now, I like this kind of interactivity for a film, but I really want this to be improved. I long for the day where I can just touch something on the screen, and find out everything that I want to know. For example, if I see an extra that looks familiar, I can just touch the person on the screen and see the full resume.

In short, I believe that Movie Touch could be the latest thing for films, provided that users want this. I am not certain if they do. After all, it has been a while since I have seen a DVD or Blu-ray as advanced as this copy of MIB 3. The question is: will we see more.
