Movie Reviews of The Rock [Blu-ray]Movie Review: The Rocks rocks in Blu-ray!! Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this film in Blu-ray and a few weeks ago, and it is almost the best transfer in Blu-ray of this action classic since Criterion issued several years ago. There is a little grain in some scenes but overall this is a great improvement over the Standard Def version. Michael Bay, in my opinion, is not a great Director and I bristled at his comments during the HD vs Blu-ray war. His recent "Transformers" left me cold when it arrived in the theatres and I didn't even finish that and went into another theatre (thank god for multiplexes). The Connery-Cage duo really clicks and Ed Harris is excellent in the role as the misguided warrior. This was the last film for the Simpson-Buckheimer team since Simpson died of a drug overdose shortly after completing this film. Connery in his action mode is still ageless and Cage offers a great comical counterpoint to him in their scenes together. Also the under-rated Michael Biehn is fine in his brief appearance as the Marine sworn to bring Harris & Co under his command. The rest of the supporting cast is also excellent such as the late John Spencer, Stuart Wilson as a general, David Morse as Harris second in command and Phillip Baker Hall as an old buddy of Connery's who has a secret. This disc is a great demo to show off your sound system particularly in the final moments!! Recommended whole heartedly for action buffs!!
