This is an excellent commentary track from the inventor of the Steady-cam, Garrett Brown, along with author John Baxter, who supplements Brown's technical and anecdotal information with some analytical views of the movie.

Brown mixes technical information about the film with insight into the Kubrick moviemaking process. Very entertaining.

Baxter is bit less informative, giving some insight into the meaning of the story. Most of his information was fairly obvious, but there was some good stuff mixed in as well.

There is probably a 70/30 split of time between Brown and Baxter. An overall excellent commentary track.

I've decided I'm not a big fan of scholar commentaries. For the most part they are such dreary speakers. John Baxter is a perfect example. Most of his information is repetitive (from the documentaries), obvious and presented in a dull manner. Garrett Brown on the other hand (who sounds like James Cameron) is much more interesting, talking about the nuts and bolts of the production and is quite screen specific, talking about lenses, lighting, sets and camera rigs. His discussions of Kubrick as a filmmaker who approached film from an almost scientific point of view are interesting and readily apparent when watching the film. A perfect example of how a commentary can really enhance your appreciation of a film.
