Black Hawk Down (Steelbook)

Very touching. Must watch

I am a fan of Sir Ridley Scott movies(except for alien) .I think he Potrays Story in a compelling and in a unique Visual style and culture of the people. Black Hawk down shows the true life event in the battle of Mogadishu were the USA forces Have to caputure a somalian warlord.The movie shows the Poverty and Famine of the civil war.The warlords kill innocent people and have become savages.The USA forces intervene with there Operation. The movies shows the loss of lifes of soldier comrades and war and survival.The "black hawk down" helicopters are very stunning helicopters in the movie and when one of them is shot down the comrades have to protect there fallen men. Black Hawk down has some very good Cinematrography and shot taken led by Ridley scott. The formation of the helicopters over the somalian beaches and towns and cities is amazing.some will even remember similarity to scotts latest movie "Body of lies". In Black hawk down the colour grading is very strong as you see more of green and blue/yellow cast. This is to give the mood for the movie..This movie is worthy of buying in HD. The bluray was purchased with a decent price in amazon India..however I feel the Film could have had a better transfer...but then again this was not bad but slightly grainy.. There is lot of good actors in this movie Ericbana,josh,orlando bloom and others. The Music by Hans Zimmer is perfect for the atmosphere in this movie along with some other artists.... BLACK Hawk Down is a must For Ridley scot fans and War movies CInematrography-10/10 Music-10/10 Actors/cast-10/10 Behind the scenes-10/10

In 1993, American Army Rangers were in Somalia, participating in the OPeration Restore Hope, where they were to help out the people of Somalia gives fresh food and water. Within minutes, all of that was ended up in war. Ridley Scott directs the war epic, Black Hawk Down. THANK YOU SO MUCH Sony DADC for including Original Audio LPCM 5.1.This Uncompressed Audio track will make you immerse into much more into the movie than you think. The Loudness and Crystal Clear audio brings more entertaining than you ever imagined for. Bass lovers will have a field day with this disc and those obsessed with incredible dimensionality will be in heaven. The "Less is More" philosophy does not apply to Black Hawk Down; I was immediately transported from my home theater to the streets of Mogadishu where cannons, rockets, tanks and helicopters all filled the room. It's an all-encompassing experience that is as disturbing as it is impressive. If you haven't experienced Black Hawk Down on Blu-ray, you are missing out on one of the format's most impressive audio demonstrations. Highly Recommended.

Amazon delivered fast within 2 days. The movie is a classic based on true events. It is a treat to watch a non-hyped urban warfare movie from the Hollywood. The cinematography, the action sequences, the music and the pace of the entire few days of drama for survival in a alien landscape is amazing... and it's even better when in high definition. The quality of video transfer and the digital soundtrack with bullets whizzing around is quite nice. It gets 5 stars for the storyline, content and quality of production. A must have in your BD collection.

good product... got what i expected..

Good film

Awesome movie! Loved it.. And must-watch Blu-ray movie indeed :-)

4:3 print. Bad picture quality. I doubt it is a copy and not original since region settings did not allow India either. Amazon should mention aspect ratio and year of release under product details just like their US counterparts.

Jesus María y José viene full español hispanoamericano awiwi gracias y mas mi teatro en casa Sony y mi ps5 bluray uffff diez de diez

One leaves the theater breathless after seeing "Black Hawk Down". Now, with my new DVD in hand, I am pleased to be able to see this film whenever I like. This is, most simply put, the most grittily realistic and overpoweringly authentic and accurate depiction of modern combat imaginable. This is the closest we ordinary citizens can come to the actual experience, as we are sucked involuntarily into the terrifying vortex of the world of modern combat. We careen into combat with the young volunteers, our hearts pounding, the sweat pouring off us as we go, feeling our blood pressure rise as we rappel breathlessly down with them to the hard dusty ground! Of course, with Ridley Scott involved, one comes to expect such amazingly spellbinding theatrics, yet this movie threads quickly along the well-greased storyline provided in the best selling book, adding the sharp, quicksilver dimensions of reality only such a stunningly visual depiction can offer in addition. And, from the anxious hand tremors of a young trooper about to descend into the madness of a flurry of hostile gunfire to the knowing worried glances a special forces combatant exchanges with one of his men, this is a superbly acted, casted, and choreographed set of battle scenes. And the scenes go relentlessly on and on. Precious little time is wasted here providing the outlines of what turns out to be a mission from Hell; policy makers in Washington (read Secretary Albright here, trying to show she could out-testosterone the guys) decide this bunch of cravenly aggressive mercenary tribes can be corralled and democratized, that Somalia can become an instant shining example of our new-found powers of nation-making, and the American peace-keeping forces are suddenly tasked with missions for which they are ill-equipped. Without sufficient armor or enough reaction troop strength, the command orders a kidnap mission to eliminate one of the warlords who is most actively opposing the new "pie-in-the=sky" political objectives, and a small force of young troopers are dispatched in several helicopters to make a quick-strike raid into the heart of Mogadishu. Just as they have reached the point of accomplishing their mission, a helicopter is shot down, and all at once, hell breaks loose. Yet this is truly just the beginning. The story of how these men stood their ground, how exceedingly well they fought, and how savagely they staved off the vastly superior numbers of local opponents who were well armed and supplied is only now becoming the stuff of legend. The real question one is left with after seeing the movie (or after reading the wonderful book, as well) is how such a valiant and well-executed action could have ever been described by both our government and the press as a defeat. It is more a lesson in the extraordinary and shameful timidity of everyone in the chain of command, from Madeline Albright to Colin Powell to the Secretary of Defense on down, who refused the Battle Scene Commander the resources he requested, that literally doomed the mission once things began to go awry. Therefore, while we did unfortunately lose eighteen men, we also inflicted hundreds of casualties on the opposing forces, and finally were able to successfully evacuate the balance of the American forces after having engaged the street fighters for an incredibly extended period of time. This engagement and the kind of men who fought in it should be sung of in battle hymns, not decried as evidence of American softness or lack of a will to fight. As always, the fault in the action lies not in the ferocious young men who fought and died so courageously and so well, but in the despicable and all too-human failures of their leaders and their government to use them wisely, to take greater care in placing them so carelessly in harm's way. Simply put, this is a great film, easily one of the best war films ever produced, and one I can heartily recommend! Enjoy!

Funcionando perfeitamente.

このレビューはブラックホ－ク・ダウンアメリカ版UHDに付いてです。日本版は高くて直ぐに廃盤になってしまい中古盤の価格が高騰しているので諦めかけてました。するとアメリカ版が4000円を切っていたので割り切って発注しました。もちろん日本語には対応していませんがUHD1枚に劇場版とエクステンド版が収録されてます。音声はドルビーアトモスとDTS-MA5.1で収録。付属のBDは劇場版で1枚、特典映像で1枚の計3枚組。BDの劇場版はPCM5.1とドルビーデジタル5.1で収録されてます。日本版のPCM5.1と聞き比べるとアメリカ版のPCM5.1の方が音響にパンチがあると感じました。好きな作品で何度も鑑賞しているので日本語字幕がなくても自分は英語字幕で鑑賞してます。こんな私の様に割り切れる方には日本版より安いのでお薦め出来ます。

Exelente filme. Dolby Atmos, som explosivo, com legendas e áudio em português nos 2 discos.
