The Men Who Stare at Goats(2009)
Reporter Bob Wilton is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady, a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of "Warrior Monks" with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemy's thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now, the program's founder, Bill Django, has gone missing and Cassady's mission is to find him. Intrigued by his new acquaintance's far-fetched stories, Bob impulsively decides to tag along. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper, the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Django's New Earth Army and Hooper's personal militia of super soldiers. In order to survive this wild adventure, Bob will have to outwit an enemy he never thought possible.

This image can appear slightly dark during interior scenes, but it livens up considerably elsewhere, whether in the hot Middle Eastern Desert, the steamy fields of Vietnam, or the war-torn cityscapes of Iraq. Colors are eye-popping in many of these locales; whether green vegetation, sandy terrains, or anything and everything in between, The Men Who Stare at Goats offers some fine coloring throughout during its exterior scenes. These exteriors also present far more depth and deliver more intricate details than do the rather bland interiors, though there sometimes remains a hint of softness around some edges. Flesh tones vary from person to person throughout the film, and facial detailing looks unnaturally smooth in some scenes. Fine detail elsewhere ranges from acceptable to startling; wrinkly and baggy shirts tend to flow well and look great, as does a layer of caked-on mud seen on Bill Djangos' face during the picture's Vietnam flashback sequence. Also featuring rich blacks and a bit of film grain that lends to the image a pleasant film-like texture, this Blu-ray release of The Men Who Stare at Goats should impress its audience from a visual perspective. The Men Who Stare at Goats Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Men Who Stare at Goats debuts on Blu-ray with a solid Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Much like the film's video presentation, this is one of those "solidly unremarkable" soundtracks that doesn't really stand out from the crowd but is in no way deficient or of otherwise substandard quality. The track is well-balanced and a pleasure from start to finish, with a wide array of elements included in the mix that cover every major category. The track enjoys a wonderful sonic atmosphere throughout; the Vietnam flashback sequence in particular comes alive a robust environmental structure, where buzzing insects and distant gunshots envelop the listener, followed soon thereafter by an eruption of M-16 fire that screeches nicely through the listening area. The spurts of rock music that pepper the track are also wonderfully delivered, robust and upbeat with a strong sense of clarity and a noticeably potent low end. Sound moves effortlessly through the speakers as needed; vehicles drive through the streets of Iraq and seem to move at the same time through the physical soundstage rather than simply from one part of the screen to the next. A firefight in the same location places the listener in the midst of the action as bullets zip all through the listening area and shots ring out in strings from several locales. Though the film's more aggressive sequences are few and far between, the track delivers when called upon. Rounded out by a stable and clear dialogue presentation, The Men Who Stare at Goats offers listeners another quality lossless soundtrack from Starz.
