You can feel the Blu-ray thunder?
You can hear the thunder? Tropic - thunder that is! Tropic Thunder was an entertaining and was also a very interesting idea for a blue ray dvd movie. The film included notable actors Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr… and oh wait Tom Cruise? People going to watch a thriller will be disappointed, but those looking to have some laughs will find plenty 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 more of a feel for their parts, but end up getting caught 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 shy of going over the top with satirical humor that hits with a freshly acute sense of its own importance. The first hour of the movie has an energy and wit that makes it a joy to own, but even still as Ben Stiller tries to tie it all together into a cohesive hole, the humor drains from the dvd, and it all becomes a little tiresome.
One of the funniest aspects of the blu-ray movie is Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Kirk Lazarus. In the actual 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, hilarious! Overall, this movie is a must-see for comedy fans, and is sure to be a top selling DVD.
