Can you hear the Blu ray thunder?
You can hear the thunder? Tropic - thunder that is! Tropic Thunder was an entertaining and was also a very interesting concept for a blue ray dvd film. The dvd included top shelf actors Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr… and oh wait Tom Cruise? If you think you were going to watch a thriller will be disappointed, but if you were looking to have some laughs will find plenty of that.
The blu ray dvd itself is about a bunch of actors in a thriller war movie who are sent into the jungle to get research their movie parts, but end up getting trapped in a real battle… even though they are totally unaware. It’s an unique concept which gets the group of actors in a plethora of funny situations.
Tropic Thunder stops just shy of making it over the edge with satirical humor that bites with a freshly acute sense of its own importance. The first section of the dvd has an pulse and wit that makes it a joy to watch, but even still as Ben Stiller tries to tie everthing together into a cohesive hole, the humor drains from the film, and it all becomes a little old.
One of the best aspects of the blu-ray movie is Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Kirk Lazarus. In the actual movie, Kirk Lazarus is an method actor who really likes to delve into his characters, and this time he goes above and beyond and pulls a reverse-Michael Jackson, funny! Overall, this film is a must-see for comedy fans, and is sure to be a great selling DVD.
