My Say On Blu-Ray: 'Need For Speed'
First off, something that you need to know about me before I launch into this review is that I love car action films. I enjoy car chases, races, and cars defying the boundaries of reality. Also, being familiar with the Need for Speed video games, I was certain that this movie was going to deliver it.
Now in preparation for the expected awesomeness of watching Need For Speed on Blu Ray, I made arrangements to watch it on my friends 65" LCD. The picture quality was amazing, you could even see the grease stains on the mechanics' shirts.
Great sound, the engine revs and squealing tires put the action in the living room. The acting wasn't as bad as most car/action movies and the storyline kept me interested. However, it was hard to not think of Aaron Paul as his character from Breaking Bad. I kept waiting for him to drop some of his usual Pinkman lines, which thankfully never came.
The Blu-Ray also came with the Digital Plus Copy, which I loaded to Google Play and checked the quality. Great sound and quality of picture, with no streaming issues. The Blu-Ray though definitely enhanced the viewing experience.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the fast cars, impossible storyline, and high octane power tale of retribution. If a sequel happens, I'll be in line to watch it.
