Hello all
recently I was
fortunate enough to get not one but two BluRays The first one was
Lone survivor the second one is Star trek into darkness
Lone survivor
First off let me say
when it come to action this movie is hard core, whoever was on this
movie really did their homework on how the Navy Seals operation,
think, even interact. If you have not heard about this here is the
skinny. This movie is based on the book lone survivor by navy seal
marcus luttrell, who was the only survivor a special operations
mission called operation redwing in 2009. First oof the nuts and
bolts of the operation is explained in the extras, from how marcus
helped the actors to the operation to how he survived. Speaking of
the movie everything about this movie is hardcore, from how they
insert, to the personal connections of the men of the navy seal unit,
to the operation and the aftermath. The action is intense frenetic
and with key moments that have been leading to it. The ending is a
big pay off and at the end you see how everything turns out with a
few surprises. This is a great movie for most of everyone. No matter
your politics or which side of the fence you are on this is a story
about the will of a warrior and it does great own to the men who died
that day to the men who continue to serve our country
10 out of ten
Star trek into
darkness
let me say I have
never been a star trek fan I have always been a star wars fan but
back in 3009 I saw the new star trek series made by j.j.abrams and I
liked it not as much as star wars but I thought he did a good job to
a series that had gotten stale. In this sequel though I felt a lot
more could have been done. First off this is the new story of the
enterprise crew trying to stop a madman from destroying the basic
tenants of starfleet with the threat of war with the klingons over
their head. First off yes Kahn is in this but unlike the one from the
original series or movies, this one is not as scary but incredibly
cool. Secondly Spock and the rest of the crew could have been done
better. Even the new love interest between spock and uhura could have
been done better and mor lively but it was good. Another problem is
the story, and all the little bits that help tell it all. Certain
events and characters seem great but other times they are brought
down by others especially the end. With one big event that could have
changed star trek forever but because of KAHN didnn't. I was very
unhappy by how it was done and felt it could have had more weight if
done right but not this time. Still it is a passable movie. Fans of
the series would love it but non fans of the series will think it is
a ok movie, what really brings down the Bluray is the extra features.
Movie companies need to think outside the box on the special feature
if the want the public to buy more blu rays and how things was done
is not going to cut it which is all this blu ray has. Still an ok
movie
6 out of ten stars.
