'The Towering Inferno' - High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

David has revisited 'The Towering Inferno.' He says this is still hammy, silly, and melodramatic, and he wouldn't have it any other way! This Blu-ray should have disaster fans on the edge of their seats, with fantastic video and audio and a teetering pile of extras. Recommended.

Wow, four and a half for video. I've been waiting on this to find out more about the PQ and ended up forgetting about this blu completely, so thanks for the review. I'll have to pick this up.

I love 'Towering Inferno'. Still have to make the purchase. Will do now, thanks David.

masterful review, bravo David.

Oh man, they should have packed the song "Man Vs Nature" by Killdozer into it. It's all filled with Irwin Allen love.

You know, I've never seen these films. None of Allen's triumphs. Perhaps, I should get on that.

This is a great review of a great film. Bravo!

nice view but,

"The Video: Sizing Up the Picture...


"Black levels, from the gentlemen's tuxedos to the L.A. night sky..."

It takes place in SF

Looking forward to picking it up.

Oops! Thanks, Dave, for pointing that out, and it will be corrected pronto. Don't know why I slipped in L.A. there. As you can see from the main movie review, I talk about the "San Francisco social elite" whooping it up in the ballroom, so I'm well aware of the film's setting. Must have been a brain fart.

Thanks again for letting me know.

Had no idea this was out on blu. I recently rented this for the wife as she was in a disaster movie kinda mood(she had just watched Earthquake). We both enjoyed which means I'll be picking this one up eventually.
