I was really surprised to not see anything about this movie here. I just finished watching the Blu-ray and it was fantastic from beginning to end. I won't spoil it except to say it's a laugh riot and to expect the unexpected. There are big names, cameos and surprises galore. There is some mild gore, so beware, but it's done in a comedic way so it's rather tolerable.
Anyway, the Blu-ray is killer both video- and audio-wise. The transfer is flat-out excellent. Is it gonna look like Wall-E? No, but in my book, it's easily a 4.5/5. The lush greens of the jungle pop and you can see really the detail in the close-ups of the actors' faces that are covered in dirt and grime. The Dolby TrueHD audio too is quite good. There are sound effects galore and plenty of gunfire, explosions and helicopter blades "whupping." I'd say the only thing that got me was that in the BIG set explosions, there could be a tad more low bass, but that's just nitpicky...there's plenty of good stuff to go around.
If you can appreciate a spoof of Hollywood actors, rap stars, war movies and flat-out (yet potty-mouth) hilarity, check this one out.
