You can feel the Blu ray thunder?
Can you feel the thunder? Tropic – thunder that is! Tropic Thunder was an entertaining and was also a very interesting concept for a blue ray dvd movie. The film included top shelf actors Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr… and oh wait Tom Cruise? People going to see a thriller will be disappointed, but if you were looking to see some comedy will find a ton 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… unbeknownst to them. It’s a great idea which gets the group of actors in a myriad of crazy situations.
Tropic Thunder stops just short of going over the edge with satirical humor that bites with a freshly acute sense of its own relevancy. The first section of the film has an energy and wit that makes it a joy to behold, but even still as Ben Stiller tries to tie it all together into a cohesive hole, the humor drains from the film, and it all becomes a little tiresome.
One of the best aspects of the blu-ray movie is Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Kirk Lazarus. In the fake movie, Kirk Lazarus is an method actor who likes to really delve into his characters, and this time he goes overboard and pulls a reverse-Michael Jackson, funny! Overall, this dvd is a must-see for comedy fans, and is sure to be a top selling DVD.
