Guardians Of The Galaxy [Blu-ray]

I would describe it as better than the Avengers, and by far one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever watched. It is an action packed movie with a lot of comedy in it, and even better effects than the Avengers. The story is logical, and rather than just having a basic villain or hero, they are complex. You can see how the bad guy is bad, but you also learn that his father, and his grandfather and countless others died in the war against Nova, and he wants revenge. So you see the evil in his actions, but also need to respect that he is doing what he thinks is right, whether or not he is wrong is depending on your position. He is a true Avenger, in the way that the Avengers movies were never really Avengers. While the Heros are wildly varying, with none of them being your classic hero. Certainly none are as boring as Captain America. Pratt does a great job portraying Star Lord and the movie was an extremely enjoyable experience. I'd suggest conservative parents prevent children under 10 yrs from watching it, as it does have a lot of inappropriate yet funny moments. I watched this in theaters, day one showing, loved it, bought it the moment went on sale. There are parts for everyone, the dramatic and awesome hero fight sequences, and the more emotional scenes of sacrifice, and the many, many hilarious moments. All in all it has good effects, great story, and diverse characters.

Great movie.

When this movie first came out I was like, why and what? I didn't bother going to the theater to see it. I'm sorry but the studio did not promote it right. My son begged me to see this so I rented it on Amazon and WOW what a GREAT choice! 1st of all, the music from the 70's and 80's blew me away and gave me some great memories! The movie is a huge fun ride! Groot is so loveable and adorable and Drax, OMG what can you say about him, "You are in imbecile" STILL cracks me up (as I've watched it about 4 x since renting it). Peter is an unlikely hero because of who he grew up surrounded but you can see he needs friends. And anybody would love to have a friend like Rocket, can do anything electronical. Gamora. Well we have seen Zoe kick butt as herself, as a blue person and now as a green person. What color can't she play and kick ass? There are so many parts that I enjoy in the movie I just can't name one. I will say the end with Peter and Ronan confront each other, the dance off is hilarious because Ronan is confused and helpless to defend himself because of it. To find out, as the movie plays out, Guardians of the Galaxy, is part of the Marvel Universe and somehow Thor, Avengers were connected made me want to watch but as usually you can watch each Marvel movie without having to watch any other. The writers, producers are doing a great job keep each movie separate and yet equal to each other as far as action, adventure, storyline, etc. As I'm enjoying the entire series of movies that they are doing now and the connections and I can't wait until the next Guardians comes out. My only question is, who isn't in a Marvel movie? Glenn Close was a pleasant surprise.

I didn't know anything about these characters aside from a quick cameo they made in the animated Avengers TV series. Knowing that there was a talking raccoon in the movie, I was aware of how easily this could go badly. When I finally saw it on opening day, my fears were put to rest and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. So much so, I saw it again in an Atmos screening the next day and have seen the film in theaters ten times, beating out the old record holders of Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars, which were 6 and 5 times respectively. The movie was shot in 2D, with the stereoscopic effect done in post, which never looks as good as real 3D, and sure enough, the flaws of that process were distracting; stars at wrong depths, feet not where they should be, weird ripples around moving objects, and the worst offenders were reflections that look like they're painted on. So, why did I get the 3D version? Well, since the studio wanted to get people to pay more for the 3D versions and the realized the 3D part alone wasn't enough, they decided to load it up with extras that the 2D version doesn't have. One of those is the changing aspect ratio that the IMAX version had, which, again, was only available to the 3D version of the film. So, I sprung for the 3D version here to get those larger screen filling shots, which I could watch in 2D by simply turning off the 3D feature on my TV. That leaves me with the original 2D image, which doesn't have any of the 3D flaws. This was also my calibration disc since the image contains so much detail and color. I had my TV calibrated professionally earlier this year and this was the first disc I played on that TV. Even though the TV was pretty close to optimal out of the box, an hour of calibration really brought out the details, and I recommend it to anyone that is serious about their home theater. I just watched this a couple more times this week, and I'm looking forward to the next movie. As I mentioned, this is one of my calibration discs now, due to the high quality image and the full range of colors. Surround sound is quite full as well, probably a result of the original ATMOS mix. If this gets re-released with an ATMOS audio track, I may just have to upgrade my sound system for it. If your system is not 3D capable, or you just aren't interested in the aspect changing, then stick with the 2D version; the 3D really didn't do anything for this movie, as it wasn't shot for 3D.

Movie was good and made a good gift

Excellent movie in so many ways. I laughed more often in the theaters watching it than with most comedies. Pluses and minuses about the combo pack: I purchased in presale where the written description listed a dvd as well as blu ray and digital HD. This was a mistake and there was no DVD. This was a bit of a problem because I had promised to show it at another home that did not have a blu ray player. I was thinking I would have to run out for a second copy but I was saved by the flexibility of the Digital HD options. I picked this version due to the bluray/dvd combo for a reasonable price. Usually the Digital HD is not a factor because I have not had much luck with that in the past. The pleasant surprise came with the options for digital HD redemption which included GooglePlay along Ultraviolet and itunes. Because I can use Google Play on all pcs, android tablets and phones, and tvs through my Chromecast dongle it makes this a much more flexible option for my family. Itunes is too restrictive if you do not have all Apple products and Ultraviolet is a huge mess of frustration with multiple log ins needed to all the studios AND ultraviolet AND then the playing aps (flixster, cinemanow, etc. of which many dare restricted in Canada). Redemption to Google play was extremely fast and simple in comparison and the playback was good even on our rural internet. Only a few studios are giving the options of Google Play & iTunes & Ultraviolet with Digital HD combo packs. Hopefully more will follow their lead and let paying customers make their own choices without the hassle to discourage digital piracy. That will make the Digital HD listed on the front of blu ray sleeves an actual selling feature for me.

Bon prix, bon film, bon support (BR et BR 4K), bonne qualité sonore et visuelle = bon achat.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" ist ein cineastisches Feuerwerk, das mich von der ersten Minute an in seinen Bann gezogen hat. Der Film bietet nicht nur eine faszinierende Handlung, sondern auch eine gelungene Mischung aus Action, Humor und visuellen Effekten, die das Marvel-Universum auf eine neue Ebene hebt. Die Geschichte beginnt mit Peter Quill, einem charmanten Kleingauner, der sich in den Weiten des Alls auf die Suche nach wertvollen Relikten begibt. Die Einführung der Hauptfiguren, darunter der sprechende Waschbär Rocket und der liebenswerte Baum Groot, ist meisterhaft gelungen. Jeder Charakter trägt zu dieser skurrilen Heldentruppe bei, die trotz ihrer Unterschiede zu einer Einheit zusammenwächst. Die visuellen Effekte und das Set-Design sind atemberaubend und verleihen dem Film eine einzigartige Ästhetik. Die farbenfrohe und lebendige Darstellung des Weltraums sowie die detaillierten Charakteranimationen tragen maßgeblich zum visuellen Genuss bei. 🌌 Die Handlung mag zwar einfach gestrickt sein, aber sie dient als solide Grundlage für die Einführung der Charaktere und die Entwicklung ihrer Beziehungen zueinander. Der Humor ist ein herausragendes Element des Films, wobei besonders Rocket mit seinem bösen Witz und Groot mit seiner herzerwärmenden Art herausstechen. 😄 Die musikalische Untermalung durch den Soundtrack der 80er Jahre verleiht dem Film eine zusätzliche, nostalgische Dimension. Die Songs sind nicht nur gut gewählt, sondern unterstreichen auch die Stimmung und Dynamik der einzelnen Szenen. In Bezug auf die technische Umsetzung der Blu-ray wird die hohe Qualität von Bild und Ton deutlich. Die scharfe Bildqualität und der eindrucksvolle Sound tragen dazu bei, das visuelle und akustische Erlebnis zu intensivieren. Alles in allem ist "Guardians of the Galaxy" nicht nur ein weiterer Marvel-Film, sondern ein herausragendes Werk, das durch seine einzigartigen Charaktere, visuelle Brillanz und humorvolle Inszenierung besticht. Ein Film, den ich nicht nur als Comic-Fan, sondern als Liebhaber guter Unterhaltung jedem ans Herz lege. 🚀🎬 Haben Sie Anmerkungen oder Fragen zum Produkt oder zur Nutzung?

We love this film as a family - saw it at the cinema and had to buy it when it was released. Its funny, action packed with great characters. The 3D effects are very good and we fully recommend this film. Great for adults and older kids - we love the retro soundtrack too!
