Wow! What picture and sound. "You will not be disappointed", oh and the movie is pretty good too.Movie Review: The Fugitive a worthwhile purchase on Blu-ray
Summary: 4 Stars
The Fugitive is an excellent mix of action and drama. There's never one point in the movie where it feels like only a guy's movie, and it never slows pace enough to make the viewer feel bored or want to check their watch.
As most here already know the story, I'll just discuss the Blu-ray disc. The film came out in theaters in 1993, and the Blu-ray transfer is a good transfer considering the film's production period. The transfer is mpeg-2, which is kind of surprising, but like I said, the movie is quite a few years old. Regardless, it is obviously a nice step up from the standard definition as outlines and details are sharper and clearer. There's a small percentage of grain seen throughout the movie, but it's tolerable (unlike 300). Brights are never blown out of proportion, but at times I felt as if they were ignored in this release. Colors tend to blend more so than newer releases, but this almost gives the film a more natural look, and for many this would be considered a good thing.
The sound of the film is a step up from the standard definition, but it's nothing too special. Special features are the same as the earlier standard releases, so there's nothing new to look forward to here. If you have the standard version already, it's probably okay to hold off on getting this Blu-ray. But if you would like to upgrade, it's still a worthy choice.
Movie Review: They gave Tommy the Oscar for this?
Summary: 4 Stars
The Fugitive stands even today as one of the best chase movies ever made. But I have to say I would disagree about the Academy's decision to give Jones the Oscar. That year other actors could have received the Oscar John Malkovich for In the Line of Fire, Pete Poseltwete for In the Name of the Father, and Ralph Fiennes for Schindler's List. I watched this movie several times, Jones does give a good performance but I bet no one expected him to win the Oscar. Jones gives a performance that is so low-key that a moment or two gave a great impression to the Academy. For example, Jason Robards for both All The President's and Julia, Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine, , Cuba Gooding Jr. for Jerry Maguire and Jack Palance for City Slickers.Movie Review: Great Movie, OK Blu-Ray
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie itself is Excellent! The Blu-Ray... Well its not superior or out of this world by any means. Compared to the DVD, it is a little sharper & cleaner. The dark scenes are easier to watch but I did notice some blacks not as crisp as they should be. The surround sound during the train wreck sequence was spot on! However, that's really the only point in the movie that you get good full use of it. All in all if you like the movie & are looking to change to Blu-Ray, then by all means purchase this disc. If you just want to watch it again, then buy the DVD or rent it!
