Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1Audience Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Binding: Blu-ray EAN: 0097361376288 Format: AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Subtitled, Widescreen Label: Paramount Languages: Manufacturer: Paramount MPN: 137628 Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Paramount Release Date: July 29, 2008 Running Time: 135 minutes Studio: Paramount Theatrical Release Date: March 02, 1990 Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Still a fantastic movieThought is was nice in DVD, but then decided to take a chance on Bluray. What a difference. Not in the habit of upgrading a DVD, but now that I've seen and heard the difference that BD makes, I'll be replacing several of my old DVD versions. Just a classic that belongs in anyone's inventory. Rating: - Excellent MovieThis movie is one of the best. Sean Connery gave an excellent performance. All of the other main actors also gave very good performances. This is a movie that, without a doubt, can be enjoyed over and over again for years to come. The fact that it is now available in HD Blu-Ray makes it more enjoyable to watch. Rating: - Almost 20 years old and looking better than ever on Blu-Ray!Although age is not always a factor in picture quality. Many titles from the last 10 years are showing their age, even on Blu-Ray. While some titles like Casablanca look much better than a movie released just 10 years ago. This title from 1990 looks great. The picture is very, very clean. Easily the best of the 4 Clancy titles on Blu. The picture is very sharp and clean. This movie is filmed without much light. Almost entirely in the sub with low lighting. That being said, the blacks are very nice ... Read More Rating: - decent but not greatNot too much to say. I love the movie, but the video wasn't great, as there seems to be some amount of graininess in the dark areas of the picture. Still, in the brighter scenes, it's about what you want from HD. Of course, the HD really brings out the rear projection in the final scene. Rating: - Visually Disappointing But Audibly Exciting on Blu rayIn typical studio fashion, Paramount has transfered this exact same master that was temporarily released on HD DVD early this year which was a mixed bag and not what these films, the fans of the films, or high def owners deserve. I really enjoy the first 3 Jack Ryan films, the 4th not so much because of Ben Affleck and because it's just too out of sync with the previous trilogy. The first 3 are classic political thrillers that do a great job of bringing Tom Clancy's books to the big screen. ... Read More |
