3.0 out of 5 stars Arnie's Finest Era, 12 Sep 2008

By	DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Arnie's back, this time as Matrix, a guy who was involved in the special services. He's been hunted down after they discover the identities of the people who did bad deeds under the name of the law. They want Matrix to kill the president, so they can take charge of a Latin American island. They're seriously considering killing his daughter, so Matrix has to be fast!

This is a fun movie if you like action adventure, but the plot is a bit thin on the ground - but if you want guns and guts this will please you no end. Shame the transfer is poor - MPEG2 running at a steady 30MB/s, but the picture quality is just not convincing: moments in the film look grainy and over-compressed; and the sound even has a few pops and clicks along the line. Shame they didn't get a better master.

The film doesn't have any extras, so no commentary or anything useful, just a bunch of trailers. I think this is a bit cheeky and is a shame to die hard Commando fans, who probably want to get more insight into this rather good film. Also the film is still the cut version, so those of you hoping for an uncut edition might as well keep their VHS copy, doesn't look like we'll see it, for now anyway.

3/5 for the film, 1/5 for the HD transfer and 0/5 for the extras.

You'd be better off getting the DVD, seriously.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blu-Ray disaster, 4 May 2008

By	D. W. Chester "HD Movies for me!" (Woking, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this movie. It is one of my all time favorites.

I am, thereofore, extremely annoyed that the idiots who produced this Blu-ray version thought it would be acceptable to use the old-hat MPEG2 compression rather than a modern Hi-Def commpression format. The result is a fuzzy mess barely better than DVD. There is no excuse for this. If you can make an old old old movie like 2001 have perfect picture quality on transfer to HD formats then you can certainly do it with any other. Come on studios... Wake up!

The sound, however, is excellent with options of DTS HD Master 5.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1

My Verdict: Save your money, buy the DVD and upscale it.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Just bodys", 25 Feb 2009

By	sash "Technikfreak" - See all my reviews

Der Filminhalt ist wohl hinl�nglich bekannt...

Ich kenne den Film vom TV, UK-VHS, NTSC-LD und Code2-DVD und jetz auch auf BD!

Die blu-ray ist zwar nur in Mpeg2 aber ob eine andere Codierung mehr gebracht h�tte wage ich zu bezweifeln. Ich kann hier eindeutig eine Qualit�tssteigerung zur DVD und sowieso zu allen o.g. Medien feststellen. Es wurde sicher keine Einzelbildrestaurierung oder �hnliches wie bei Bigbudget-Produktionen a la James Bond gefahren, aber wer die DVD upscaled und meint es w�re das selbe Bild hat entweder einen miserablen BD-Player, Verbindung, TV oder etwas an den Augen. Es kommt zwar kein wirkliches HD-feeling auf aber wer den Film gerne sieh, so wie ich, hat seine wahre Freude an dieser blu-ray.

Der Ton ist dts MA und er ist sehr ordentlich aber hier gilt eigentlich das gleiche wie beim Bild - an aktuelle Produktionen oder j�ngere Filme kommt er nicht heran. (deutscher Ton nur 5.1 dts)

Alles in Allem hat sich die Anschaffung gelohnt und es waren wieder 90 sch�ne Minuten - es wird garantiert nicht das letzte mal sein, dass ich sie mir angesehen habe.

Ob wirklich irgendwann eine Remastered-Version kommt - wer wei� das schon...dann gibt man halt nochmal Geld aus. F�r die Bluray wars bisher der g�nstigste Preis ;-) Das VHS-Tape und die Laserdisc waren deutlich teurer...
