Movie Reviews of U-571 [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: U-571 BLU RAY REVIEW
Summary: 4 Stars

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAR MOVIES........I RECIEVED IT LAST NIGHT FROM AMAZON........THE PICTURE QUALITY IS OKAY.......I BELIEVE THE REMASTERING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER........THE SOUND IS TOP SHELF.THE SURROUND TRACKS......REALLY ARE TERRIFIC.......AND THE EXTRAS ARE VER NICE AS WELL........IF YOU ENJOYED THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER......THIS BLU RAY DVD SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR COLLECTION

Movie Review: Better Than Most Of Whats Out There
Summary: 4 Stars

If you're looking for historically accurate, go with Das Boot. If you prefer something faster paced, pick up U-571. They're both movies about submarines in WW2, but they're very, very different films. U-571 is better than most of the crapola cranked out by Hollywood, that's for sure.

Movie Review: Good movie, well worth the watch.
Summary: 4 Stars

If you can stomach Matthew McConaughey, this is a good movie. Not a GREAT movie, but good nonetheless. For the price, it's worth grabbing it.

Movie Review: Fun for What It Is
Summary: 3 Stars

U-571 is a non-historically accurate movie about a group of Americans who commandeer a Nazi U-Boat. Not everything goes according to plan, of course, and soon Matthew Mcconaughey and his buddies are scrambling and fighting for their lives. It's fast and intense, with fantastic set design and awesome sound. Make sure to turn your soundsystem up loud. You really feel at times as if your living room couch has become a claustrophobic, cramped vessel far below the sea. If this sounds cool to you, and you're not a stickler for historical accuracy, then U-571 should entertain you. Don't expect any unexpected character design or the most original plot of all time, but it's fun enough.

Verdict: Blu-ray suffers from moderate application of Digital Video Noise Reduction (DNR) that makes it look worse than the video on HD DVD and D-Theater formats.
