Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring the action hit 'The Perfect Storm' to Blu-ray on July 22nd. This is the latest Warner title that was previously only available in high definition on the now dead HD DVD format, but is now going to be released on Blu-ray. Video will be presented in 2.40:1 1080p VC-1 accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio track. Extras will mirror the HD DVD release with three commentaries, three featurettes, a stills gallery, and theatrical trailer.

It's Halloween, 1991. Near Gloucester, Massachusetts, the six members of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat, head out to sea for their last trip of the season. Unbeknownst to them, a shockingly brutal storm is slowly gaining steam. Before the National Weather Bureau has a chance to inform the crew of the impending danger, it's too late. The resulting battle with three merging weather fronts--an unheralded natural disaster--is grueling and tragic. Based on the true-life best selling novel by Sebastian Junger, The Perfect Storm stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Diane Lane and is directed by Wolfgang Petersen.

Gotta have this. Been waiting awhile on word.

I have never seen so much smoking in any other movies aside from "Perfect Storm" and "Pulp Fiction." Although "Friday" was up there too.

JasonR · 04-10-2008, 01:22 AM

In TrueHD!!

That's going to be so awesome!!!

SilverFireshot · 04-10-2008, 01:26 AM

Awesome. I realy liked this even though I know quite a few that didn't.

Mr. Cinema · 04-10-2008, 01:47 AM

It took awhile, but looks like Warner is ramping up on those catch-up titles. Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, The Perfect Storm, Constantine, Robin Hood, and The Matrix Trilogy are all being released this year. I hope Poseidon gets announced soon.

Thank you for not smoking. The perfect Storm will be super nice on BD!

CassilineKnight · 04-10-2008, 01:56 AM

I'm probably the only one who hasn't seen this movie at all so I'll definitely check it out...

Clark Kent · 04-10-2008, 02:29 AM

This will be one BD I'm skipping. I barely got through watching this the first time.

Minimejer05 · 04-10-2008, 02:56 AM

I might pick this up. Was never a huge fan of it.

car88wru · 04-10-2008, 03:02 AM

Never Seen It. Don't Really Know If I Want To.

Crème Blu-ray · 04-10-2008, 03:19 AM

Another title for my next big Warner 25% order.

My DVD copy awaits retirement.

I'd say Wild at Heart* beats it easily. Not to mention dozens of 1930s-40s movies (especially crime/noir movies).

And anyway, fishermen and other seafaring people in general usually smoke like chimneys.

* Note of warning: Wild at Heart not only features smoking, but also nipples.

I wasn't all that taken by it the first time I watched it, but it turned out to be one of those movies that I liked more on successive viewings.

Mystique · 04-10-2008, 07:39 AM
