The Ocean’s Trilogy, a brand new four-disc set, brings together Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen in one box, delivering some of the finest old-style caper entertainment seen on the big screen in years.
Ocean’s Eleven is the best of the trilogy, and also superior to the original Rat Pack film that it’s a remake of. Here, we’re introduced for the first time to Daniel Ocean (George Clooney, who effortlessly charms his way through all three films with real style) and his group of fellow cons (including Brad Pitt and Matt Damon) as they try and pull off a daring casino heist. It’s a thrilling, immaculately packaged slice of Hollywood entertainment, and easily stands up to repeated viewings.
The first sequel, Ocean’s Twelve, is a mess though. The first half sets things up nicely, introducing further themes of competition and revenge, but it then pulls a blistering stupid plot device around half way through and never recovers. There’s still plenty to enjoy, but it’s a real missed opportunity.
Ocean’s Thirteen finds the gang in much finer form though, and the addition of Al Pacino to the roster as the new villain of the piece does it no harm whatsoever. The focus is back onto a single job, and while it’s light on twists, it’s still a breezy caper that’s hard not to warm to.
Packed with big name stars, and directed on the whole with real skill by Steven Soderbergh, the Ocean’s Trilogy is--the middle film excepted--testament to just how much fun watching movie stars doing their thing can be. A boxset well worth investing in. --Simon Brew

Format:Blu-ray
I am not reviewing the films themselves, but the quality.
I bought the boxset yesterday, and settled down today to watch the trilogy this morning. I have to say that I completely agree with previous reviewers. The quality of the films on this blu ray set is AWFUL and grainy, especially compared with the DVD boxset I already own. What makes it worse is that I watched The Green Mile on blu ray a couple of days ago, and that was made in 1999 (compared with these in 2001, 2004 and 2007), and the quality was brilliant. I just can't believe what an appalling job they've done with these excellent films. Very disappointed and will be trying to return them.
My advice, don't buy - stick to the original DVDs.

i really really love the oceans films, there really good, but i have to say in all honesty that oceans 13 on bluray is by far the worst bluray i have ever seen as far quality is concerned, very grainy, highly evident in the blue colours of this movie

I just finished watching Ocean's 12 as I just love this trilogy... However, the quality is SO POOR it is even worse than a Divx!!! I just don't understand how this can be sold as a Blu Ray when the quality is so bad...
Just don't buy it, it will be better if you buy the DVDs!
I am honestly truly disppointed and I am now thinking about a way to contact customer service to obtain reimbursement! That's just a scandal to even pay for this!

Good films / Bad blu-ray
Presumably you've seen the films if you're opting for the trilogy set so I'll stick to the issues with the blu-rays. Read more

Generally good, however...
The image is not what such a good trilogy deserves on blu-ray. There is also a lack of subtitles options, what is hardly understandable with so much free space on disc

Ocean's Trilogy
I enjoyed all three films, great entertainment with little violence which makes a change from the usual action movies. There is always a twist at the end of the movie too. Read more
