Movie Reviews of The Aviator [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: All star cast gives all star performance
Summary: 5 Stars

The stars just keep popping up in this superbly directed, beautifully shot and extremely well acted bio-pic. It certainly deserved every Academy Award it received and probably several more should have been awarded. Leonardo DiCaprio provides an eerily realistic visual similarity to Howard Hughes no doubt enhanced by his stellar portrayal of the lead character. The list of actors and actresses just keeps growing as the movie progresses and each one of them steps up to the plate and hit more home-runs with their characters too. This movie is a "Must See" and without a doubt is a welcome "Blu-Ray Worthy" addition to my home movie collection. Get it, watch it, you'll love it !

Summary of The Aviator [Blu-ray]

An epic biopic depicting the early years of legendary director and aviator Howard Hughes' career, from the late 1920's to the mid-1940's.
From Hollywood's legendary Cocoanut Grove to the pioneering conquest of the wild blue yonder, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator celebrates old-school filmmaking at its finest. We say "old school" only because Scorsese's love of golden-age Hollywood is evident in his approach to his subject--Howard Hughes in his prime (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in his)--and especially in his technical mastery of the medium reflecting his love for classical filmmaking of the studio era. Even when he's using state-of-the-art digital trickery for the film's exciting flight scenes (including one of the most spectacular crashes ever filmed), Scorsese's meticulous attention to art direction and costume design suggests an impassioned pursuit of craftsmanship from a bygone era; every frame seems to glow with gilded detail. And while DiCaprio bears little physical resemblance to Hughes during the film's 20-year span (late 1920s to late '40s), he efficiently captures the eccentric millionaire's golden-boy essence, and his tragic descent into obsessive-compulsive seclusion. Bolstered by Cate Blanchett's uncannily accurate portrayal of Katharine Hepburn as Hughes' most beloved lover, The Aviator is easily Scorsese's most accessible film, inviting mainstream popularity without compromising Scorsese's artistic reputation. As compelling crowd-pleasers go, it's a class act from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon
