Review of Speed Racer on Blu-Ray
There is no need to re-review the movie itself here.  Mitch E provided a very good review when the movie first hit the theaters, and you can read his review here.  However, as you know the movie is based originally upon Japanese manga Mach GoGoGo from the late 60's created by Tatsuo Yoshida.  An English adaptation was made acquired a cult following that has continued throughout the years.  The movie, then has come out of these original concepts.   Although I found the movie entertaining, it is definately not up on my top 100 list.  However, I am glad I got to watch it on Blu-Ray.  The directors used a high definition process when filming the movie, which provided a clean/crisp transfer to Blu Ray.  If you really want to see what the future of high definition and blu ray will bring, you must watch this movie.  The clarity of the picture (and audio) is unbelievable. This only enhances the enjoyment of the film.   More and more people (thanks to PS3) are buying movies on Blu Ray, and will hopefully continue to do so.  Although downloading of digital copies may provide easier access to a wide range of products at a single glance, I still like to own something physical.  Downloading a song from iTunes, etc., really does not bother me, but when it comes to movies, I like to have something physical to have and hold (and it is much easier to use on (or transfer to) various players (FYI, the Blu Ray edition does come with a free digital download).   Besides a digital download, the disk does come with a bunch of pretty cool bonus features, including: a tour of the movie set with Paulie Litt (Sprittle in the Big Leagues), a look at the cars and racetracks used to make the movie (Speed Racer: Supercharged!), a "behind-the-scenes" look at the making of the movie (Speed Racer: Car=Fu Cinema), and a game disk which I have not yet played (Speed Racer Crucible Challenge).   If you are looking to buy your first Blu Ray disk for yourself, or your family, this is the one.
