Amazon.co.uk Review
It comes as something of a relief to find that Ocean’s Thirteen eases itself back to the charm and suave, sophisticated swagger that underpinned the first in what’s become a trilogy of capers. And for those who endured the self-indulgent mess that was Ocean’s Twelve, this latest and final entry in the franchise is a very welcome treat, proving very much that lessons were learnt. Dropping Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts from the cast list, but signing up the smaller matter of Al Pacino instead, the rest of the players remain broadly intact. So it’s George Clooney’s Danny Ocean who leads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner. And it’s the easy chemistry between these and the rest of the team that underpin what makes Ocean’s 13 such an enjoyable ride.
The plot pits Ocean and his gang against Al Pacino’s ruthless casino boss, and while the script perhaps lacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so well in the first adventure, it still leaves plenty of room for outright entertainment.
The end result is an easy-to-enjoy caper, that’s not the equal of Ocean’s Eleven, yet far superior to Ocean’s Twelve. And considering it was released in the midst of a summer where threequels generally weren’t too well received, Ocean’s Thirteen arrives in fine shape, and rounds off the trilogy with panache. --Jon Foster

Format:Blu-ray
The story is great as with all the Oceans predecessors and I thoroughly recommed it.
I wish I had just bought the standard DVD though rather than spend £22 on this so-called hi-definition movie. The video quality was comparable to standard DVD and most definitely not what I have come to think of as high definition. I have over 50 Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies in my collection and this is by far the worst picture quality despite it being VC1 encoded. I am not trolling when I say that this appears to be standard DVD quality. To compound this there is not even a high definition sound track. We have come to expect uncompressed LPCM or other HD sound of at leat 5.1 or even 7.1 channels if we are lucky on new releases but on Oceans 13 we are given as the only option the old Dolby Digital 5.1 - yes the same sound format that we get on standard low def DVD. Where is the HD sound? Where is the HD picture? I wish I had Saved my money and bought the standard DVD of this movie. I am sure it would have been no different as a viewing experience and I would have had change from a £20 note for a nice bottle of Rioja to accompany it.

Absolutely terrible quality: this release laughs at you for spending money on a Blu-Ray player.
6 Oct 2008
Format:Blu-ray
Grainy, unsaturated, unclear, blurred edges, terrible white balance, pixelated - all words you can use to describe this Oceans Thirteen release on Blu-Ray. It's absolutely terrible - DO NOT BUY THIS. It literally mocks you for spending a few hundred pounds on a Blu-Ray player, and a thousand pounds on a HDTV just to receive VHS-quality video and sound.
For the record, I own a 40" Samsung Series 6 HDTV, a Samsung BD-P1500/XEU - Blu-ray Disc Player connected with a high-quality platinum HDMI cable.
Comparing this release with the many other Blu-Ray films I have, it's not worth the money at all. If you really must own this, buy the DVD version. It's cheaper, and you will get the same quality sound and picture.

do not bother buying this load of tosh on blu ray the video quality is absolutely appaling seriously the film grain is both irritating and appalling and the colour reproduction is probably the poorest ive seen to date in some scenes the faces look reddened in natural lighting and others they look almost plastic i am not at all pleased with this films blu ray outing and i can tell you as of my friend bringing round his ps3 and same model tv as mine the dvd looks alot better with the ps3 upscaling (to 1080p) enabled on the ps3 dvd settings in fact just buy the dvd itll save you the hassle of sending back the blu ray thats what i did took it back to tescos and bought the dvd instead and it is far better so this blu ray gets a measly 1 star only because i cant give it zero

Good
Just like the other two films. I personally enjoy the films and always watch them back to back. I think Clooney, Pitt and Damon are brilliant in them.

pleasing adventure yarn of some high-tech career thieves
Nicely organised story, but then this is the third attempt to get it just right, so how could they fail? Read more

nice hollywood formula with a big budget and all stars
There is no question that this is a fun film to watch. You could not get a better cast, the script is intricate, tight and funny, and the production is completely lavish. Read more

Great series
I love the Ocean films and the final one is as good as the first. It is great to have all three on DVD to watch at my leisure. Delivered in good time.
