Apollo 13 Blu-ray Review

Quote:
Apollo 13 Blu-ray Blasts Off in April
Posted February 2, 2010 09:53 AM by Juan Calonge

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced Apollo 13 for release on Blu-ray on April 13, just two days after the 40th anniversary of the launch of the NASA mission that nearly ended in disaster when an oxygen tank in the spaceship ruptured two hundred. This Blu-ray will exclusively include a U-Control track with a wealth of history and technology information. It will come in a non-flipper BD50 disc.

Special features include:
Feature commentary with director Ron Howard, Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell and his wife Marilyn.
U-Control:
The Apollo Era: Learn about the other big events from the year of this historic mission—without stopping the movie.
Tech-Splanations:: Enjoy entertaining explanations of the science and technology of the Apollo 13 missions.
Lucky 13: The Astronaut's Story: A "Dateline" television piece recounting the events of the mission.
Lost Moon: The Triumph of Apollo 13: The making of the film including behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.
Conquering Space: The Moon And Beyond: A recap of the last 45 years in space.

I was going to get it until you said that part....So I'm guessing that all (or the majority of)Universal releases will now be flippers? JP, Schindler's List, Jaws etc.? This is crap.

I think the reason they mention it is so that there aren't any questions on wether they will be flippers or not (due to the only 3 have been released). Unless you misunderstood that it's not a flipper disc and thought he was saying it was...

It's about damn time!

I keep saying I'm not going to re-buy more movies that I have on DVD, but this one is a favorite. Must have on blu.

A personal favorite. I have "IMAX Experience Version" two-disc DVD, and will still gladly purchase this on BD.

The launch scene should knock down a picture or two.
