Twister / Poseidon / The Perfect Storm (Triple Feature) [Blu-ray]

I bought this for TWISTER, the price is almost the same as a stand-alone disc for that movie. TWISTER looks great, but so do the other two movies in this set. I had seen all three and hadn't liked THE PERFECT STORM when it was released. But wow have I changed my mind. The second half of that movie is fantastic. Very thrilling and emotionally powerful. POSEIDON is about equal to the famous early 70s movie. Special effects are better, the cast is comparable. Overall, this is great value for the money

Three great movies in one package and on Blu Ray with excellent PQ and Sound

I was pleased to find this offer of 3 Blu-ray DVDS together.I'm changing my standard DVDS to Blu-ray.Each movie is about natural disasters, tense and enjoyable."The Perfect Storm" was enlightening, about what deep sea fishermen may endure while out to sea."The Poseidon" (2006) is kind of a remake of "The Poseidon Adventure" (1971), I liked the original best."Twister" is my fav of the 3 movies since it is on land and I'm not a deep water person.For me it was worth the purchase and at a good price, so I recommend it to you.All are great movies, a 5 star rating.

BOTTOM LINE: Trio of older natural disaster-themed films bundled together in a 3-disc Blu-ray set is a solid value. Recommended. 4 STARSTWISTER is my favorite of the three. I always enjoy this brainless bad weather movie. I love the late Bill Paxton. His memorable turn as Pvt. Hudson in ALIENS was a classic role. Plus, he always seemed to be genuinely having fun while on camera, no matter what kind of part he was playing. I'll check out just about anything he's in. Helen Hunt is easy on the eyes and delivers her techno-speak fairly believably. Her rowdy gang of unkempt storm chasers are a goofy, fun bunch; the kind of guys you'd want to hang with after work for a beer. Cary Elwes makes for a suitably hiss-worthy corporate kiss-butt bad guy. The effects, though somewhat primitive by modern standards, are ambitious and still do their job nicely, plus the non-stop dangers are harmless fun to watch.POSEIDON is a well-mounted but ultimately pointless remake of the seminal granpappy of the star-studded disaster genre. Competent at every turn, but frankly the only fun comes from figuring out which old Poseidon Adventure characters these new actors are supposed to be playing - and who will live or die. The whole thing looks pretty good, but sadly the film feels rushed and the characters so under-developed that you really don't get to know enough about them to care who makes it and who bites the big one. A pretty serious flaw. I'm a big Kurt Russel fan though, so if he's in something, I'll check it out.THE PERFECT STORM is a well-done but grim outing. Being based on tragic real life events, there's no way to honestly tell anything other than a relentlessly sad and ultimately depressing tale. George Clooney & Co. are very believable in their respective roles of working class fishermen consigned to their fates due to pig-headed stubbornness & heartless corporate greed. It's all very well done, and director Wolfgang (DAS BOOT) Peterson faithfully captures the look & feel of the weary blue collar sword fishing industry quite well. Just don't watch this expecting a happy ending. Flick is still worth an occasional spin just for the quality of the acting. And I gotta give credit to the production team, cast & crew for having the balls to tell the story truthfully, without giving it some BS happy Hollywood ending. (Because like it or not, sometimes we need to be reminded that life isn't always happy & fun.)THE BLU-RAYS: All 3 films all look & sound great. The special features for each film remain intact. In fact, the discs appear to be the same as when each movie was released individually, so you're getting all three movies complete in one space-saving package. This is an affordable deal for the casual film collector and anyone who's a fan of these kinds of films. Enjoyable time-killers to watch when the weather is nasty enough to keep you inside for the evening. ;-) 4 STARS.
