Summary: Superbit Collection Delivers
Review: I love the new superbit collection dvds. Criterion collection a vista are both doing a great job in creating movie viewing pleasure Through extras, picture and sound but superbit is coming back with some strong DVD's. The sound is so strong and tight. Utilization of every field of sound leds to an experience you will not forget. I've watched this movie ten or more times before the superbit. Now I haved added to this number greatly. Wolfgang Peterson has made one of those few movies that make you happy for watching it. Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman did a fantasic job with each character. All I can say is watch it on the superbit and you can thank me later.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great work Mr. Ford
Review: Air Force One has been hijacked by terrorists demanding a great deal from the president. they hoped to find him in the plane, but not the way they had hoped. the acting is great in this film by both harrison ford and gary oldman. gary oldman will be the Christopher Lee of the future, always playing the bad guy, but always getting a part in a movie. the most powerful scene in the movie is when the president has to decide on the fate of his family. is national security more important than his own family?

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A great action film!
Review: Air Force One is one of my favourite action films, as it is for many people, and it's easy to see why. Wolfgang Petersen's action thriller starring Harrison Ford as the president of America is a taut, exciting action flick (And sure to never be in-flight entertainment).

Gary Oldman is the movie's main villain, a terrorist with some scores to settle. Both he and Ford are great, and with the added start power of William H.Macy and Glenn Close make this big-name action-fest great fun.

Performances, action scenes, special effects and music (Jerry Goldsmith) are all top-notch, as well as some great patriotic stuff from Harrison. The only thing I don't like is some scenes are predictable and jingoism takes over sometimes. Regardless, it's great fun, and an equally great DVD. Cool stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Thrilling Ride
Review: After making a speech to the world about a no-tolerence policy againgst terrorism, the president's plane is hijacked by terrorists. This is an amazing film. The plot is superb, and the action is great. Harrison Ford is an astounding actor, and plays a president/father with super accuracy. The stunts in this movie are great, including a scene with a refueling tanker, and a scene where the president must ride a tether to get out of the plane.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Air Force One on Superbit
Review: I'd like to start off by saying that I haven't watched Air Force One in several years, so I've forgotten whata great film this actually is. I have had the VHS Widescreen version since 1998, but I've only watched it once since then. But fast forward to 2002 and now its on Superbit DVD. All I have to say is WOW! The picture and sound will blow you away. The sound especially if you have a 5.1 surround system. The gun fire is especially intense and well spaced in the the sound field. One of the most jaw-dropping scenes is the F-15/MiG-29 engagement at the end. Another is when Air Force One crashes into the Ocean. WOW! What a crash scene!

But another thing I'd like to point out is that it's strange now that all these films that have to do with terrorists have an all new meaning and message now in our post-9/11 world. If you'll recall, Oldman's character was a Russian nationalist who wanted a re-united Russian motherland with the President (played by Jurgen Prochnow, of Das Boot fame) of Kazakstan as the Russian Prime Minister. Except that he's a renegade that wants to use the old Russian nuclear stockpile to terrorize the free world. Oldman states how US foreign policy may be beneficial to the US, but it destroys the lives of other countries. I think he mentions something about the sanctions on Iraq causing undue suffering. So you see, these old terrorist movies should have been a bit of a wake-up call for us.

So in closing, if you're looking for a good terrorist thriller in this post-9/11 world, look no further than Air Force One on Superbit.

Summary: VOTE Ford for President
Review: Given the current state of the world today, AIR FORCE ONE, may seem an odd viewing choice to some folks.But I think it's a perfect movie to watch right now. In fact, current events only made me like the film even more than I already did. All the filmmakers ask is that you suspend your disbelief for about 2 hours and enjoy the ride. Harrison Ford plays ficticious President Marshall, who in the midst of talking tough on terrorism, is put to the test. When his plane, family, and staff are taken hostage by a group of renegade Russians, Marshall must take direct action to save the day. Gary Oldman plays it way over the top as the lead terrorist. While Glenn Close plays the determined Vice President, who leads the negotiations, to have everyone released. The movie is saved from being total schlock, thanks to Ford. You totally by the fact that his is, or could be, our Commander in Chief. If that aspect of it, doesn't work for you, then none of it works. Are there parts of the movie that are implausable? Yes. But Director Wolfgang Petersen keeps the action moving at such a brisk pace that you almost don't notice or care about anything that makes no sense in the film. The movie fits with the mood of things right now. So just sit back, relax and enjoy this rolicking crowd-pleaser.

The DVD is short on extras though. The Director's commentary track is very good, and worth a listen, if you are inclined to do such things. The disc has both the widescreen and pan and scan versions for you to choose from. Last and least is the standard issue of the theatrical trailer. All in all not a bad ride. I wonder if Mr. Ford would consider running for re-election? If not, then at least there is this partial record of "his" only term as the leader of the free world for all of us to enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been much worse!!
Review: If you can switch off the demand for realism from a film for a couple of hours then this is for you. Harrison Ford and Glenn Close start in this Box Office blockbuster about Soviet revolutionaries who hijack the US Presidential place (Air Force One) and the heroic one-man battle against them in the guise of the US President who remains aboard the plane. Gary Oldman plays Egor Korshunov, a trigger-happy terrorist who fires at will and is prepared to sacrifice his life for "Mother Russia" whilst Glenn Close's negotiating skills bring for an interesting aside to the main plot. As I mentioned, it is essential that the flying scenes (look for the one at the start involving their return to the air) and rescue scenes are not taken as rigorous to the truth as, in many respects, they are as flimsy as the security systems aboard Air Force One.

In general this is not a bad film (after all, the Box Office ratings were good) and as far as typical blockbusters go, I could probably watch it again. Some good special effects improve it and there is always something going on, it could be argued that there are some holes in the plot but then nothing is going to be perfect! Definitely watchable but don't rush out to get it.
