Movie Reviews of The Rock [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: The Rock defintely rocks on blu-Ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
At San Francisco in Alcatraz, a group of terrorists lead by ex-general Hummel (Ed Harris) who demand a ransom as they threaten to launch missles with deadly gas into the San Francisco bay area if they don't get what they want. FBI chemical warfare agent Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) now must join up with former criminal Mason (Sean Connery) to rescue the hostages and stop the madmen from threatening the city.
Explosive and action packed thriller which is Michael Bay's crowning achievement besides "Transformers" delivers all the thrills and chills that anyone needs. Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson lavishly produced this movie and Michael Bay was just perfect to do this movie, the movie does co-star Tony Todd ("Candyman) and Michael Biehn. It's got excellent action sequences, terrific performances by the cast, humor, a little romance and a good plot makes this a sure fire crowdpleaser to any action lover out there.
This Blu-Ray makes the movie never looked or sound this great before! the extras are phenomenal like a movie showcase spotlight that shows scenes that showcase the ultimate in HD pic and sound, Audio commentary, World Premier of the movie, featurettes, interviews, Trailers and TV Spots.
Movie Review: Very Impressive Xfer for mid-1990s film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a mid-1990 movie, so my expectation from the start is set for action films released at the time. However,the pictures are amazingly sharp in 1080p. It was hard to see any grainy images, even at fast action scenes. The audio is crystal clear. The explosions, car wrecks, and voice are all just simply super.
My only disappointment was the gun fighting and several other action scenes I only hear the sound from front/center speakers. This can be due to decoding 5.1 during that era still at infant stage (Twister to me was the reference standard to hear sound of debris travel from front to back speakers).
All features from DVD are here. There is a new "highlight" video clips allow you to "show-off" the movie in home theater.
I'm very happy with the effort put into this transfer, and it's a no-brainer to get for the fan of the movie, blu-ray, and home theater system.
Movie Review: Perfect action movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If there is a better action movie to come from the nineties than "The Rock", I've never seen it. A perfect blend of action, comedy, and drama make this a film everyone should see. Fantastic performances by Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and yes, Nicholas Cage, make this a movie you can watch over and over again, and the upgrade to Blu-ray is even better than the Criterion Collection version I have of this film. I would highly recommend this movie for anyone who is a fan of the Bruckheimer/Bay tandem, but you should see it even if you don't like Michael Bay, because this is a much deeper film than many of his others.Movie Review: Great transfer to Blu-Ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
More than likely, you already know whether you like this movie or not. The
question you may be asking is "If I own the DVD, is it worth upgrading to
the BD version?" I'm happy to report that this is a great transfer, and is
a major upgrade from the DVD version, assuming that you have a audio/video
system that can allow you to see and hear the difference. The picture is
far more detailed than the DVD version, and the uncompressed PCM audio
track is fantastic. Kudos to Disney for doing an excellent job on this one.
Highly recommended.
