Sony Pictures | 1993 | 130 mins | Rated PG-13 | Jan 12, 2010
Last Action Hero(1993)Action | Comedy | Fantasy     Young Danny Madigan is a big fan of Jack Slater, a larger-than-life action hero played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. When his best friend, Nick the projectionist, gives him a magic ticket to the new Jack Slater film, Danny is transported into Slater's movie world, where the good guys always win. One of Slater's enemies, Benedict the Hitman, gets hold of the ticket and ends up in Danny's real world, where he realises that if he can kill Arlnold Schwarzenegger, Slater will be no more. Slater and Danny must travel back and stop him. For more details about Last Action Hero on Blu-ray, see the Last Action Hero Blu-ray Review Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, F. Murray Abraham Director: John McTiernan Last Action Hero Blu-ray, Video Quality  Last Action Hero transports onto Blu-ray with a decent but somewhat underwhelming 1080p, 2.39:1-framed transfer that's a tale of two worlds, visually and thematically. The film looks rather messy -- but seemingly intentionally so -- in the "real world" that Danny inhabits and that comprises the film's opening and final acts. Gloomy, grainy, dark, and devoid of bright primary colors, there's little of visual interest here; even the classic theater shows its age, the plush seating dim and faded, patched and grimy, and the general lighting and wall colors diminished and worn. There's a slight push to a warmer overall hue, and flesh tones often appear with a similar tint. The image appears rather flat, with lifeless detail and overpowering blacks. Once the action shifts to the world inside the silver screen, the image brightens considerably; colors are far more vibrant, detail resolution increased, and the sense of depth more discernible. Still, the image isn't exactly pristine, as there's a touch of softness in places -- though far less exaggerated than scenes taking place in Danny's world -- and fine detailing and textures never come close to matching even those seen in the better, not to mention top-tier, Blu-ray discs. Still, the transfer's back-and-forth and sometimes messy look seems more reflective of McTiernan's directorial decisions rather than any major fault of the transfer, and regardless, this is the best home presentation of Last Action Hero yet. Last Action Hero Blu-ray, Audio Quality  This Blu-ray release of Last Action Hero offers listeners a rocking DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. A film packed with gunfire and explosions, there's no shortage of excessively loud sounds of action as machine guns spit out round after round in rapid succession and with a devastating barrage of noise inflicted throughout the soundstage. Slater's never-empty Desert Eagle hand cannon delivers each successive shot with a hefty thud, while several large-scale explosions send sonic shockwaves through the listening area, leaving listeners dazed, battered, and filthy but not dead (note: untested on fictional police officers two days away from retirement). While the action segments are exciting and true, the track does stumble a bit when it comes to recreating ambient effects. City traffic, pedestrian chatter, falling rain, and other sounds of the real world are often overly loud at reference levels and seem to jumble together a bit, each effect strong but not necessarily precise; there's a noticeable lack of harmony in such scenes, with none of the effects meshing particularly well to create a more believable or lifelike atmosphere. However, musical reproduction -- whether Classical notes or hard-hitting Rock numbers -- is sound, and dialogue never misses a beat. Last Action Hero excels where it counts, but it's not quite as polished and refined as Blu-ray's best.
