Airwolf: The Movie

airwolf movie on Blu-ray what a good movie to watch

great show

Aside from the movie arriving over a month later after I ordered it, the picture quality was atrociously bad. Almost low-end VHS quality. The picture looked so faded out, it's embarrassingly incredulous that it was represented in a blu-ray format. The DVD version of this movie was so much better, both in resolution and color. There is nothing wrong with the movie itself, the movie was great, but the vessel that it was depicted on, really and truly sucks. I would recommend not purchasing this movie from the same seller. There seemed to be absolutely no attempt to enhanced the picture and sound quality to show it proudly in blu-ray, no remastering whatsoever. I am deeply disappointed because I love this movie and was expecting to see it in an enhanced blu-ray HD quality.

This was a favorite movie of mine years ago. Very disappointed/angry, it won't play. It appears to be made for some other country but there are no marking on the disc or cover.

After having just viewed this UK release in so called Bluray(or so it is supposed to be), I am very disappointed in the quality of this disc. I get the feeling that this was NOT remastered from the original 35mm film the movie/pilot was filmed in, but, it looks moreso to be a freshening up of a VHS tape. This version is not even US pan/scan 1.33:1 (keeping in mind that PAL is a different format). The sides have been slightly cropped so the image on the screen is not as full as the US pan/scan version. If supposedly a Bluray release from the original tapes why wasn't the mastering done in 1.78:1? I suppose that the big giveaway that lends to a no-name copy is the omission of Universal's lead-in logo. All major theatrical releases have the studio lead in logo on the front end of the movie, on this one there is nothing at all. I come away thinking that if Universal ever decides to release a genuine Bluray do a remaster of the US release (pilot for the series). There is almost 12 minutes missing from this version that is included in the US version. Most of what is missing is at the end of the film, a few clips early in the movie plus the needed scene in the middle of the movie where Hawke & Dominic leave the cabin together (making up an excuse to Gabrielle)to *check-in* on the flying production on the *Belasarius* set, but in fact they are scouting the desert to find a safe place to keep the copter. That is an important portion of the film as it explains where the stolen helicopter will ultimately be hidden by Hawke, but it is completely omitted from the film. I feel that the US release needs the Bluray treatment, adding in some of the UK clips to make the overall movie even more complete. For those who remember the series pilot this UK film will just leave you left in your seat, looking for that which has ultimately been left on the cutting room floor. Big letdown.

I specifically ordered the movie for this region and it still came for another country. Will not play in our blue ray player and I have to return it. This was a Christmas gift and I am very disappointed.

I picked the wrong region
