BLU-RAY
REVIEW: G-FORCE
12/13/09
OVERVIEW: Charging home on December 15th comes Walt Disney Pictures’
action packed comedy-adventure G-Force. Packaged as an exciting Disney “Combo Pack” (a Blu-ray™ + DVD +
DisneyFile Digital Copy of the movie in a single package), families can finally look forward to enjoying this
thrilling story about a covert group of feisty furball Guinea Pigs anytime, anywhere and on a compatible format
of their choice --Blu-ray player, car, PC and/or portable device.
SYNOPSIS: A top-secret, highly trained trio of guinea pig super spies is assigned to stop a dastardly plot to take over the
world in G-Force, a gorgeously rendered CGI adventure from famed producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Squad
leader Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell) will do what it takes to guarantee the success of his team, which also
includes Blaster (Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude, and Juarez (Penelope
Cruz), gorgeous martial arts pro. With the help of Speckles (Nicolas
Cage), a star-nosed mole, and myriad other members of the animal kingdom, the G-Force tries to derail evil appliance mogul Leonard Saber’s power
grab. It helps when your fly-on-the wall reconnaissance expert is, well, a fly on the wall!
BLU-RAY: G-Force is presented in a stunning 1080P
widescreen in a 2.40:1 preserving its theatrical release format.
The transfer looks very clean with flawless pictures, giving
film and special effects the clarity and smoothness that only high
definition can provide. Walt Disney Studios did a phenomenal
job in this production. Not only the picture looks excellent
in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby DTS
HD in English and 5.1 French and Spanish audio that provides
a nice complement to the picture. It also subtitles in
Spanish, French and English.
In terms of special
features the Blu-ray includes a fascinating line-up of behind-the-scenes features, hilarious deleted movie scenes and a collection of
music videos featuring songs from the film. And exclusively for Blu-ray owners, there are three CGI effect
bonus features that will satisfy their quest to join the rodent spy world.
