Jack Ryan Gets Split for Blu-ray, Again


Posted June 4, 2008 12:30 PM by Josh Dreuth

Paramount Back when I first posted that Paramount would be releasing 'Patriot Games' and 'Sum of All Fears' on Blu-ray, I was flooded with questions about whether or not they would also be releasing the other two films in the now canceled 'Jack Ryan Collection'. Word from the studio has finally come down, and Paramount Home Entertainment has revealed that they will also bring 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'Clear and Present Danger' to Blu-ray on July 29th, the same date as the previously announced Jack Ryan films.

As with the previously announced titles, no technical specs have been announced at this time. Extra features will be light, but that will be infinitely more than those found on the HD DVD versions of these releases. More information about these releases is expected soon.

I remember when they were promoting Blu-Ray discs to hold a number of extra features, due to the large size of the discs, and now, just about every Blu-Ray movie is "light on extra features". Sure, the 1080p resolution is amazing, but if they are going to pull more people into the high definition arena, they need to include the special features. I have spoken to a number of people who are standard DVD fans and the majority of them have told me they dont want to make the switch because most Blu-Ray's are lacking the extras they want.

Why would The Hunt For Red October be in 7.1 sound? What would be in the soundtrack that would require the extra channels? This film was in stereo originally, I think 5.1 should be good enough. I also think this whole 7.1 fanboy thing is gettings absolutely rediculous.

In case anyone didn't know, most of these titles look really bad (On HD DVD). Sum of All Fears and Clear and Present Danger had HEAVY of DNR applied. Patriot Games also has DNR, but not as bad as the first two. Luckily The Hunt for Red October, the best movie in the bunch, has no DNR or other filtering, looking pretty good overall.

If these mirror the DVD's then there aren't many supplements to put on the discs. Take a look...

Hunt for Red October - Commentary, Documentary and Trailer.
Patriot Games - Documentary and Trailer.
Clear and Present Danger - Documentary and Trailer.
Sum of All Fears - (2) Commentaries, (2) Documentaries and Trailer.

Bring them on, baby! I can't wait for The Hunt for Red October the most because of the incomparable Sean Connery, and I'll definitely get Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger because Harrison Ford is the best Jack Ryan of all time! I'll get The Sum of All Fears just for Morgan Freeman because I don't like Ben Affleck at all!

Good news. I'm mostly just interested in 2 of them but I was resigned to buying the whole package if need be. So, I'm glad they decided to split up the package and offer each of them as singles.

I plan on getting all four. Man, with all of the great releases being put out on BR, I feel like I'm in Vegas and having to keep adding money to the line. "Put my $80 on hard four!!"

A film hero the likes of Jack Ryan is what makes moviegoing worthwhile, and Blu-ray treatment of the Jack Ryan catalog is very welcome news, indeed.

If the PQ is outstanding, it is these kind of films that peole are wauting for, which will help push adoption.
