Movie Reviews of The Rock [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Great Movie w/ the Best Picture Quality Available
Summary: 4 Stars

I've always been a fan of this movie, the Rock. Michael Bay catches a lot of flak about his Hollywood-esque action movies, but you can't find anyone that knows action better than him. This movie proved his abilities and put him on the map as an action director. The scenes are beautiful. Wonderful, colorful shots followed by more wonderful shots. The cast is full of great actors too like Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and Michael Beihn.

The disc itself is a great testament to HD media. Very clear picture, especially for a movie 12-13 years old. The audio will blow you away. Extremely crisp and LOUD. It's also packed full of extras, although some are really quite useless. Most extras are in standard def too.

I paid $15 for this movie. Being one of my all-time favorite action flicks, I think the purchase was well worth it with a combination of great visuals, extremely entertaining cast, and a healthy dose of in-your-face-action coupled with it being all presented in HD. You literally get a lot of bang for your buck. ;) Don't knock Michael Bay until you see this action classic.

Summary of The Rock [Blu-ray]

Hollywood The Rock (Blu-ray)
Hollywood superstar Sean Connery ("Finding Forrester") joins Academy Award(R)-winner Nicolas Cage (1995 Best Actor - "Leaving Las Vegas") in the action-packed thriller of the year, "The Rock"! All of San Francisco is taken hostage when a vengeful general (Ed Harris - "A Beautiful Mind") seizes control of Alcatraz Island, threatening to launch missiles loaded with deadly poison gas! With time running out, only a young FBI chemical weapons expert (Cage) and a notorious federal prisoner (Connery) have the skills to penetrate the island fortress and defuse the lethal situation! Edge-of-your-seat suspense and unstoppable action explode off the screen in this must-see motion picture event!

Between his high-octane debut, Bad Boys, and 1998's wannabe blockbuster Armageddon, hotshot director Michael Bay forged his dubious reputation with this crowd-pleasing action extravaganza. In it a psychotically disgruntled war hero (Ed Harris) seizes the island prison of Alcatraz and threatens to wage chemical warfare against nearby San Francisco unless the government publicly recognizes the men who were killed under Harris's top-secret command. Nicolas Cage plays the biochemist who teams up with the only man ever to have escaped from Alcatraz (Sean Connery) in an attempt to foil Harris's terrorist scheme. As one might expect, what follows is an action-packed barrage of bullets, bodies, and climactic confrontations, replete with enough plot contrivances to give even the most jaded action fan cause for alarm. It's a load of hooey, but the cast is obviously having a grand old time, and there's enough wit to make the recycled action sequences tolerable. If you're ordering this movie on Blu-ray, be careful with the volume knobs on your home-theater sound systems, because The Rock could cause partial hearing loss and structural damage to your home. --Jeff Shannon
