SONY BLU-RAY MOVIE DISC BLACK HAWK DOWN
Amazon.com essential video:
Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but Black Hawk Down makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:
Rating: 
- It's not HD.
It's just a DVD on a Blu-Ray carrier.National Geography in HD is much better than this movie.And that's even in 720.Not 1080.
The movie itself is excellent.
Rating: 
- Don't waste your money.
While this is a great movie the Blu Ray version is hardly a step up from regular DVD.If you already own the DVD I wouldn't waste your money "upgrading".I actually wish I could take it back.
Rating: - Amazing Movie.So So Blu Ray
This movie is a classic, but the Blu Ray isn't necessarily so.Its only a mild improvement over the SD version.If you already own the SD version, I might recommend you not upgrade, unless you find a good deal.
Rating: 
- never received it
we reall liked this movie, and my sons platoon had asked me to pick it up if I ran across it and I did look for it in the stores but couldn't find it so decided to order it from Amazon. Well I never received the movie or even a response to the note that I had written to the Sellers. So I wasn't happy with this one.
Rating: - Blu-ray is not for this !
This is a good film, but the video is not a pleasure to watch in blu-ray. Grain, bad contrast, bad colors. If this is what the director wanted, like some people say, so we could stay with the DVD. Talking about DVDs I saw The Hurt Locker in DVD ... an excellent new war film, about bombs disarmers. Great video quality in DVD ! In Blu-ray if they make a good transcription the video will be GREAT !!!
