The Fugitive

This is a great movie keeps you guessing until the very end. Harrison Ford is brilliant. One of my favourites

My reviews of Blu-Ray discs refer to the quality of the sound and vision rather than the content of the film. THE FUGITIVE Movie Release Year: 1993 Barcode: 88392933096 Picture. For a movie of this vintage (24 years) they have made a fantastic transfer. Not quite as sharp as a blu-ray that we would expect from a film from 2016, but an excellent clean visual presentation. Score 4.5 / 5.0 Sound. The disc has DTS HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. Great sound. Plenty going on in the surrounds in this one. Score 4.2 / 5.0 Another score I include is Repeatability. This is open to personal opinion though. My Score 4.5 / 5.0 Equipment used for the above review… Samsung 40” TV……………12 months old Yamaha 7.1 Amplifier………10 Years old Panasonic Blu-Ray player….9 Years old 7 KEF Speakers (Various Models and Age) + Yamaha Subwoofer…25 Years Old. I try to buy the best version of a film, be it Blu-Ray or DVD. Never buy on the release date if l can help it. Do extensive research on any film l may want to buy. Many films have been remastered especially on Blu-Ray but even after that, they may not be much better than the DVD version, so beware. Film companies issue more than one version of a film. Picking the best one by reading reviews is really the only way to guarantee good quality sound & vision for the film you want. Hence the above. Hope this will help with sourcing the right version for when your ready to purchase. Added note…make sure you get the right version of this film on Blu-ray. Check the barcode is same as above and the front cover is mostly white.

The Fugitive is one of the better movies of Harrison Ford. The story in itself is well presented and the plot is intriguing. Ford is a highly skilled Doctor that is framed for killing his wife. He is chased by everybody while he tries to prove he is innocent. I wont tell you the complete story as you have to find out by yourself while enjoying the movie but all I can say the movie is great. One of my favourites. Now on blu ray it looks really good. This US import version is the better one to have instead of the usual UK cover version. Thanks to my friend Andrew advising me on getting this I am more than happy. Just get this movie as its a great movie starring Harrison Ford. Great seller, fast delivery, very happy with product.

This (region free U.S import) 20th anniversary edition is the Blu Ray version to get, much better picture quality that makes the standard version look dull, and the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 is a massive upgrade from the standard 5.1. Not much else can be said about this brilliant film thats not already been said. This is one of mine and the wife favourite films and one we watch often. Just make sure you get the 20th anniversary edition.

When I first started working at the cinema this was near the end of its run. Therefore, I saw the beginning, bits here and there, but not the whole thing. Since then I've never really watched it, even though I think Harrison Ford is good value. Once again, the other day, it was on TV, but I missed the beginning, so decided that I would buy it and watch it from beginning to end. Well, I'm pleased I did because it is as good as everyone says it is. The thing that struck me most about the movie was how it packed so much information into its just over two hours running time. Director Andrew Davis' use of flashbacks to show what really happened when Kimble's wife was murdered was particularly effective. I don't see much point in going into the plot, but instead a review of the blu ray. When considering my purchase I had read lots of negative reviews of the blu ray, some even suggested sticking with the DVD because its transfer was so poor. Anyway, I decided to purchase this anniversary edition which I can confirm plays on region B blu ray players. I don't really understand or pretend to know the technical aspects of blu ray and high definition, bit rates and all that stuff, only whether it looks good or not on my TV. Compared with some of the other BR's in my collection, this doesn't have the "wow" factor and in places it is a bit soft. I suspect that this wouldn't be good enough for the "picture snobs" as a Curries' representative described them the other day, yet it's certainly satisfactory if you're interested in a story. However, the detail during close-ups was very good so, overall, if you're a big fan of The Fugitive then you'll be satisfied. Having not viewed the DVD I can't really compare, yet I'd find it hard to believe that this transfer is not better. The sound was clear and I wasn't finding myself having to increase the volume to hear little bits of dialogue. It did seem to lack the punch that I remembered it had in the cinema - especially during the bus/train wreck. To be honest, I don't want to be blasted by noise to get the point. I'm more interested in story and character than flash, bang, wallop effects and noise. The extras are interesting, but I'm a sucker for how they make things. Of particular interest to Fugitive fans is an inclusion of a 45-minute pilot episode for a new TV series in 2000 starring Tim Daly as Kimble. It's hard to determine from one show whether the series had legs or not, and they did go on to make further episodes, although the series doesn't appear to be available to purchase. It would have to be particularly good to top the original series with David Janssen that was so popular and the inspiration for the Ford-movie. In conclusion, if you're contemplating buying The Fugitive I'd recommend this release. It's a great film, edge-of-the-seat stuff if you haven't seen it before and a pleasing though unspectacular transfer. I've given it four stars because it doesn't shine like some blu rays, yet it's a very good film and good entertainment. Something that you'll happily watch again.

The Fugitive has been "remastered in stunning hi-def" for this blu-ray, according to the writing on the back-cover. It does look and sound great, and there are extras including some featurettes/documentaries and a commentary. Of course, English subtitles are included and this is a region free release (at least, it works on my Region 2 player). This is the best blu-ray version of The Fugitive available. Better than the current UK release.

The film is well made and so it is watchable repeated times, the only problem is it is no longer available in this HD formate because Blu-ray took over. As for the HD quality it seems to change during the course of the film, but you don't worry about it because the film itself is good.

I have purchased , The LD , DVD and Blu Ray , of this classic . I have this edition is Excellent , There are updated extras including a pilot for a short lived series . The Film transfer is beautiful , compare to the earlier release blu ray , which was a dupe from the DVD and like wise , with the audio . I you fan of this classic grab it . you will be very pleased ..

Awesome movie Harrison Ford is a great actor

古い映画ですがテンポがよく飽きさせない魅力がある。各所に作製者のこだわりを感じる。

Llega con un slipcover genérico de buena calidad, el cual nos recuerda el tipo de transfondo de la película. Las imágenes pueden ser vistas como frias o apagadas, pero así es la fotografía principal y está no se ha alterado. Hay mejoras importantes en la nitidez y claridad de la imagen, y las tomas en el exterior y de día son adecuadas. El audio en inglés Dolby Atmos es muy bueno y potente, con un correcto español latino Dolby Digital 5.1, y subtítulos en ambos idiomas y más. Solo viene el disco 4K. El código digital es válido solo para USA.

Estava com ótimo preço, chegou direitinho e tem dublagem em português do Brasil.
