Red Dawn remake DVD movie reviiew

a good movie but not like the original


hey all first off let get to the elephant in the room, this movie IS NOT LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!! there are a lot of differences and the emotional connection that the original had is not present, and while there are times where this movie improves the scenes of the original the original will always be the better one. Another thing I want to say I am very disappointed in the makers for not adding anything to the blu ray which is why I got the dvd. In this day and age if hey want more of our money for a blu ray they need to add something more than just a digital copy. If you can get past these and some other issues you will see a pretty good movie


the action sequences are done well, there are times were the jerky camera can take away from the scene but all in all the action sequences all pretty good.

Chris Helmsworth, and josh peck do grab you as brothers, and Jeffery dean Morgan is believable as a member of the free American army, and the rest while they try they really don't hold you but many of them do show potential.

The story this is where the movie kinda has a little problem, there are major plot holes in the story that are never truly resolved or explained there are times where you got to kinda ask why this or that happened but these are far between, but are still there never the less and the ending while good could have been better.

Special features This is where I really got disappointed I was ready to buy the blu ray but when I saw that the only extra they offered was a digital copy I got the dvd instead. Film district and many other studios need to realize that in order to get our hard earned movie for blu ray they need to add more than just a digital copy. I was very disappointed that the blu ray did not offer anything more substantial special feature than a digital copy.

still these are not big problems and the movies is something unique there has not been many America invaded films for awhile and while this is good it could have been better.

i got suckered again

hello all
recently I began watching a tv show called zero hour on my local channel on ABC. I now find out that it has gotten canceled after only three episodes. Again I got sucked into a really good show only to have it get canceled because of the whole it is cheaper adage. Look many more people are now getting there tv more ad more off the internet now more than ever I wonder why look tv companies you want people to watch more of their channel, then cut down on the reality shows, no offense I understand that there will always be reality shows but the problem is that there are TOO MANY. give us some variety, some choices. Also if you want something cheaper got to burger king and get a value meal but for really good tv spend the dollars and give it time to grow a fan base.
