The Fugitive (4K Ultra HD)

They really don’t make them like this anymore. A lot of films go for action and spectacle over character and story which is too bad because this film takes the best elements of all four and makes a classic TV series a classic film.Harrison Ford plays vascular surgeon Richard Kimble wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. Kimble escapes while being transported after a bus accident (involving a very big train). Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones in his Academy Award winning performance) pursues Kimball and begins to suspect that Kimball may have been wrongly convicted.Wow. The 4K looks marvelous. The film has been carefully cleaned up for its transfer from the original camera negative. HDR enhances the subtly of the color.Audio sounds terrific with an immersive Dolby Atmos mix. Subtitles are in English and many other languages as well.The special features from the blu-ray including a commentary track has been ported over with director Andrew Davis and Tommy Lee Jones. There are two documentaries Carrie over. There is no blu-ray included here but this is-likely- the same transfer prepared for that release. There is an introduction with Davis and Harrison Ford also included.

We are Tommy Lee Jones fans so the movie is great, but it arrived in perfect condition and

AAA+++

A film adaptation based on the popular 1960s television series starring David Janssen. Although the storyline has been updated, the basic plot is the same with Dr.Richard Kimball being pursued by a persistent Lt.Gerrard. Exciting and fun....

Excellent movie, have to watch it to enjoy it

Great movie but Amazon ships it in a plastic bag for some reason. The Blu-ray case was smashed but thankfully the disc was ok.

UPDATED: Now that the 20th Anniversary Blu-ray is available, I can finally give this 5 stars.Unfortunately Amazon lumps reviews for all editions together. Don't buy the old black-cover Blu-ray, the transfer on that disc was shameful. The 20th Anniversary white-cover version has a gorgeous new transfer of this classic film in true 1080p, with crisp DTS-HD Master Audio. It looks like it's had some image stabilization applied to compensate for gate weave in the film, and it's had a little bit of grain reduction applied, but both effects are tastefully done and not over-the-top. The disc also comes with a nice assortment of special features, and the typical price here on Amazon is a steal for a great film well-presented. I recommend it unreservedly.The review for the original, inferior disc is preserved below for contrast & historical accuracy.=========================================The two stars are for the Blu-ray, not the film itself, which I love and would happily give 5 stars.Other Blu-ray reviewers have referred to a "soft" picture. Actually it is literally *pixelated*.If you take a close look at high-contrast edges, like the names of the actors during the opening title sequence, you can plainly see big blocky pixels that are far too large for 1080p. Based on that, and some occasional frame-blending artifacts, it is clear that the source transfer for this disc was a standard-def telecine (60i) like what would be broadcast on cable networks. The authors of this disc took that old SD master and did an inverse telecine pass to remove the pulldown/interlacing and get a 24p SD master. (Unfortunately there were a few errors at edit points, causing the aforementioned frame-blending.) Then it was upscaled to 1080p, but they didn't even do an interpolation algorithm, it's just nearest-neighbor pixel doubling. Yuck!I will give it an extra star because (1) it's usually very cheap and (2) it's way better than the DVD. There are none of the old compression artifacts or edge enhancement here. But for a Blu-ray, it's very disappointing. It's barely worth the 8 bucks I spent on it.Also I have to disagree with those who complained about the black levels. The contrast is fine, it's just that the film itself seems to have been shot in a run-and-gun medium-budget style that did not emphasize rich cinematography. There might be a little bit more range to eke out color-wise from the original film negative, if WB will ever break out the wallet and pay for a new transfer, but I'm betting there isn't much more depth to be had.

Great purchase, very pleased, awesome 4k

Soy fan del actor Harrison Ford y cuando supe que Warner Brothers había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD, el clásico de 1993 "The Fugitive" ó "El Fugitivo", la compré de inmediato.Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie.Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, y la encontré en oferta por el Prime Day 2024!Lo mejor es que si trae el Slipcover de colección.

OTTIMO ACTION/THRILLER MOVIE...OTTIMI INTERPRETI, BELLA STORIA..OTTIMO BLU RAY NEL COMPARTO AUDIO VIDEO..CONSIGLIATISSIMO A TUTTI GLI AMANTI DEL BUON CINEMA....BRAVA AMAZON

Is the fantastic Blu-ray I like the behind the scene stuff was really good. It’s a great fantastic movie. Want to hear some Fords best no defects on the Blu-ray disc. The case had a little crack on the corner but you know that’s a minor thing other than that, they arrived on time no problem.

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

One of my favorite movies of all time. Bought for the commentary track and the 4K. Did not disappoint. Arrived in good condition.
