Cliffhanger (30th Anniversary SteelBook) [4K UHD] [Blu-ray]

A great action film. If you have teenage sons and popcorn and want a night in together for some father and sons time, this is the movie for you. And don't forget the classic words you must tell them to make yourself feel old... "I went to the cinema to see this when it first came out."

I'm so pleased I brought Cliff Hanger on Blu-ray it's a great movie. I've seen this countless times but I still enjoy it.

It's all too easy to dismiss this movie as Die Hard on a Mountain but that would be an injustice to this high octane entertaining yarn from 1993.Gabe Walker (Stallone) plays a guilt-ridden mountain rescuer who absconds from his job after a rescue effort goes horribly wrong. Months later, he returns just in time to rescue victims of a plane crash, who unfortunately turn out to be Eric Qualen (John Lithgow with an unintentionally funny English accent) & his nasty cronies who have lost 100 million dollars over the Rockies in a botched mid-air raid (as you do).It's a surprisingly decent performance from Stallone, the action sequences are spot on, it's well scored, there's plenty of shocks in store when we expect heroics but get disaster, young & old innocents indiscriminately blown away and all against the backdrop of stunning photography of the mountain region it's set in.Highly recommended.By the way, IGNORE THE 2001 DVD RELEASE OF THIS FILM FROM MOMENTUM PICTURES - that is the Cliffhanger DVD with the orange cover - that version of the film is ridiculously edited & toned down for violence completely stripping the film of some of its most effective moments. This product link will show you the one I'm talking about: Cliffhanger [DVD] [1993 ]Instead go for the 2008 DVD release with the black cover from Optimum Home Entertainment for the uncut version of this really good film. Here's the link for that Cliffhanger [DVD ]

A great movie with a awesome castA load of dodgy characters rob a load of money from a treasury plane but lose it in the mountains and also manage to crash there plane as well so need Stallone to find the money and guide them off the mountainStallone play's a mountain guide who failed to rescue a climber a year before so has been away from the mountainsVery enjoyable action film

Transfer is great with both HDR and Dolby Vision as is sound.

This is one of Stallone's best films, in my opinion. It's a sort of "Die Hard in the mountains", but with a smaller cast. However, it is extremely entertaining and reasonably action-packed, so should hold your attention until the end credits. There are also some great stunts, some of which are very spectacular. I did read something in the press when this film was released that, allegedly, Stallone was wary of making this film, as he was afraid of heights! I get the impression that making this film high up in the mountains may well have cured him of this phobia, though...You may also be interested to know that this version released by Optimum is the complete, uncut version, for the very first time in the UK. So, we are treated to even more swearing, violence and also a racist comment that was censored previously. The BBFC originally cut this film heavily for its original cinema and video release. It was then released on DVD, in another cut version, which was even more noticeably censored than the versions before. This Optimum release was the first time that UK audiences could see the complete, uncut version of Cliffhanger, even though we had to wait a long time for it. Believe me, though, it was worth waiting for!I give this excellent film the full five stars. Watch this if you long for the days back when action films didn't ruin their action scenes with CGI and used proper stuntmen. I promise you, you won't regret it! If you haven't already seen it, buy it now! You'll be glad that you did.

Great movie, but the product photo is false as there is no slip cover. Good to know for collectors like myself who buy new editions of movies they already own, where such things matter.

One of the best action films of the decade in stunning ultra-hd with beautiful mountain backdrops.

No complaints here. Steel is a solid choice, with a nice view and decent back. Quality matte paint with very low gloss. Discs were in great condition. Transfer is pretty good all told. Dolby Vision and HDR10 with slightly different grades and 57Mbps. So middle of the line but enough to get this one through. Atmos is perfectly capable. Solid release.

Bien.

I used to have this on VHS, but threw it out when DVD became the new format. For some reason I never got to get it till now, but damn, I am glad to have got it in 4K. It look absolutely stunning with all the nature shots and the soundtrack sounds amazing in surround

La presentación del case es de buena calidad y dureza. Eso se agradece, a pesar de que la película ya hace tiempo que se editó.La calidad de la imagen en 4K es muy bueno, aunque hay escenas donde se observa el grano fílmico algo moderado.El sonido dolby atmos en inglés es muy bueno, así como adecuado el español latino 5.0. Trae subtítulos en esos idiomas y más. Viene el código digital pero solo es válido para Movies Anywhere USA. Consíguelo en oferta.
