Album Description:
Widescreen/Blu-Ray. PG rating. Hunt For Red October. A contemplative thriller by early 1990's standards, The Hunt For Red October was the first movie based on the successful Jack Ryan novels of Tom Clancy.Hunt for Red October stars Alec Baldwin as eccentric CIA analyst Ryan and Sean Connery as Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius. In the movie, Ramius sets the plot in motion when he murders his political adviser, burns his orders, and steers his sub Red October towards American waters, hoping to defectRobbed of much of the book's Cold War appeal by the time of its release, the movie was nonetheless embraced by American audiences; it was among the ten highest-grossing movies of 1990.
Amazon.com essential video:
Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - cold war fantasy
Some punk junkie named Sick Boy in the the Danny Boyle cult classic TRAINSPOTING espouses a "theory" of his in which he uses the career of Sean Connery to illustrate. Basically he believes that for everybody in life at one point you got it, then you don't. There's a period in your life, probably when you were younger, when you could have had *it* but then you loose *it* and are past your prime. Well, the other character listening to this was right to feel unimpressed by this cocky punk's disrespectful ... Read More

EXCELLENT MOVIE A MUST FOR SEAN CONNERY FANS....I RECEIVED THE DVD PROMPTLY AND WILL CERTAINLY PURCHASE AGAIN...THIS IS A MOVIE I HAD SEEN MANY TIMES AND HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR A LONG TIME.
Rating:  - Horrible Picture Quality
The Hunt for Red October (Special Collector's Edition)
Paramount should be ashamed of themselves.The picture quality is atrocious. DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE IN DVD FORMAT!Hopefully they haven't screwed up the Blue Ray edition.
Unfortunately, I gave my old Laser disk player and movies away months ago.I have been replacing my favorites with DVDs and Red October was my latest purchase.I will probably throw it in the trash.

Rating:  - Worst HD transfer I've seen so far!
Of course its a classic film. Worst transfer to a "high-definition" format that I've seen so far. Just by the DVD, you won't miss the extra static contained in the higher definition version here.
Rating: - Great Movie...........
One of my favorite movies, Sean Connery is excellent as the russian commander and Alec Baldwin does Jack Ryan better than Harrison Ford(Patriot Games). loads of stars in this flick, great story and all the action sequences are filmed to a tee. Highly Recommended for action movie enthuisiats....
