Movie Reviews of Crimson Tide [Blu-ray]Movie Review: double dip a' coming Summary: 1 Starsthe movie is great, but just like they did on DVD, the unrated extended edition will be released after people buy this version
Summary of Crimson Tide [Blu-ray]You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue which is why for example the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response.System Requirements:Run Time: 116 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: R UPC: 786936726268 Manufacturer No: 5365503 You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!"
