Movie Reviews of Under Siege [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Blu-ray Under Siege
Summary: 2 Stars

This review, and the rating that I gave it, is for the transfer to Blu-ray ... not on the movie itself.

For the many fans of Steven Seagal who are thinking about buying this movie, you probably have already seen this movie before and while it's your typical action movie, it still is, and remains, very entertaining. Under Siege was one of Steven Seagal's earlier movies, before he started doing direct-to-video movies which have been described as nothing more but water-logged with poor script-writing and the attempt by Hollywood to turn rap-stars into movie stars.

When I decided to purchase Under Siege, I was expecting a seamless transition to the High Def format. However, most of the movie doesn't seem to transfer very well to the Blu-ray format. While the close up scenes appear to transfer well, when the camera pans out, the rest of the movie seems to have a gritty image to it which results in "artifacts" (or defects" in the image quality. While I don't know if this was intentional, it does seem to be distracting.

While I did watch this Blu-ray release on a 32" Samsung, and the overall review of the Blu-ray transfer isn't that great, the Blu-ray version of this movie is still very watchable.

Movie Review: A case of too much perfume
Summary: 2 Stars

Worst blu-ray disc I've seen so far.It so grainy I actually stopped watching it.I own the standard Dvd and that's almost perfect.
This is a total ripoff.Don't buy it.
My father was the only bread winner when I was teenager.Almost always,when he came home every evening he would say 'when you've got too much perfume what do you do? you spray it on your A**'.
This was because we used to have all the lights on simply because they could be switched on and he was paying the bills.
Roll forward 30 years,and now I have too much perfume(money) and what did I do? I bought a hd dvd version of this movie because the blu ray version was too grainy.You could say it was money down the toilet.The HD dvd is worse.Until it is reissued properly or remastered in blu ray, don't waste your money?
1 star for video transfer.

Movie Review: not the best Blu Ray
Summary: 1 Stars

I have a brand new Hi Def TV and Blu Ray player. This dvd had portions that were great mainly outside shots. the majority of the onboard shots we very grainy and much worse than a standard dvd. I have other Blu Ray dvd's they are fantastic. I wouldn't waste the money on this one in Blu Ray the standard will look better.
