Movie Reviews of The Fugitive [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Exciting film that deserves a better blu-ray transfer
Summary: 5 Stars
4.6 stars
I love this flick, and think both the script and Ford do justice to the original, justifiably beloved tv series. I don't think this blu-ray transfer does much justice to the original print, though; while it's a good, crisp picture, it's not much of an improvement over my dvd.
The film itself is an excellent adaptation of the series, and the Big Pharma conspiracy angle is an excellent updating that works well. There's thrills aplenty, with minimal violence, which I appreciate more every year as idiot directors and writers rely on guns and blood to fill the holes in their ill-planned plots. There's more intelligence than that at work here, and director Andrew Davis makes it all mesh tightly and suspensefully. The ending is a bit weak: I don't buy the scene at the conference, but it works to the degree it must, and that's good enough.
Add Ford and Jones at the top of their games and it's a movie worth watching many times, whenever one needs to be reminded what a truly fine thriller can be.
Too bad they didn't polish it up enough for it to be a blu-ray worthy of the description high-def.
Movie Review: Stunning HD quality. Purchased 5 Blu-Ray disks. Fugitive stole the show!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a PS3 when it came out. One of the reasons I was hot for one was for Blu-Ray playback. I have a rear projection Mitsubishi HD set from a few years back. It has no DVI or HDMI, just standard Component HD inputs. I got home with my new PS3 and Blu-Ray disks and set it all up. I watched a few fantastic looking Blu-Ray movies: Fifth Element, Last Samurai, and Enemy of the State. But when I finally put Fugitive in, I was blown away. I can't believe how this older film scanned to HD so well! It was like watching it for the first time. My whole family stopped what they were doing and sat down and watched this movie. Now I have enjoyed the quality of all the Blu-Ray disks I have spun up in my PS3 as they have all finally made my Mitsubishi 48 inch HDTV show me what I paid for when I bought it. But this disk made my Mitsubishi look like a 55 inch movie theater. I swear, the picture was bigger and more in-my-face than other Blu-Ray disks I have watched. I don't know what Warner Bros. is doing to re-master their movies to HDTV, but keep it up!
P.S. - I knew Tommy Lee Jones's face was messed up, but HDTV shows it all! DAMN!!
Movie Review: I love this movie. It should go down in history as one of the best action films of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I recently picked this up and I must have seen a hundred times. It never gets old. Harrison Ford is outstanding. I think this was his best movie. As to the picture quality it is lacking somewhat, but I kind of like the grainy look it had. They don't make em' like this anymore. What is trully awesome about this movie is the way all the action scenes were shot. All of them out in the Chicago cold, both actors doing their own stunts, real locations, and in some cases real cops (Chicago Police-two detectives), All the movies I have seen in the last five years just lack what this film had.Movie Review: A Brand New Way To View Movies...
Summary: 5 Stars
When I made the conscious choice to purchase a blu-ray player, and after doing some research regarding picture and sound quality, I decided that The Fugitive would be the first film I'd get. All I can say is what a huge difference high definition makes. I already knew that the film was an excellent adaptation of the classic television series. The detail is really exceptional, and the sound is really enveloping. I recommend this blu-ray title wholeheartedly...Movie Review: A top notch mystery and amazing picture and sound quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the greatest mystery films of the last decade. Chock full of so much suspense, it can be easily mistaken for a thriller.
As far as the Blu-ray edition goes, 5 out 5 stars for picture and sound. The skin tones are well rendered and the blacks almost never clip. The sound is house shaking without an ounce of distortion. The picture is sharper then I remember even from the theatrical presentation.
Highly recommended.
