Here is a lesson in manhood where Nicolas Cage gets to be innocently hijacked on a plane and has to save his diabetic buddy with lots of explosions and it is a totally gloriously boneheaded macho-fest rollercoaster ride from start to finish.But here is a slight warning: If you have a slight fear of flying, then this film will not be for you. But for me and for some unknown reason, with ‘CON AIR,’ is about a film in which an aeroplane transferring hardened nasty criminals is hijacked by its criminal passengers before being taken on a raucous rollercoaster joyride, has always had a comforting effect on me and I think (spoiler warning) it's because the good guys survive, but who that is, you will have to view this film and especially this high octane 1080p Blu-ray disc.Of course, I'm well aware that Hollywood heroes usually live, but when I watched ‘CON AIR’ for the first time in the cinema in 1997 that I hadn't yet had the pleasure of working my way through the abundance of cheap action flicks with all-American bad-asses and one-liner scripts churned out by Hollywood every year. Previously, one of my favourite films was ‘Airplane,’ but of course that was the opposite direction and of course I considered ‘CON AIR’ gives us a lesson in real macho manhood, so to speak.And the starring man in this gloriously boneheaded macho-man fest is soft spoken Cameron Poe, played by a biblically long-locked Nicolas Cage. What a man Cameron Poe is, a former soldier, he has just been released from prison after serving time for manslaughter after killing a local drunk who berates his pregnant wife. After more than seven years doing handstand press-ups, learning Spanish and making friends with the help of the "pink coconut things" his wife sends him, he's ready to be transferred home with a fluffy stuffed rabbit to give the daughter he's never met. Unfortunately for poor Cameron Poe, a nutty bunch of Supermaxim lifers led by Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom [John Malkovich] who are also on the flight, have other ideas; they take control of the plane and Cameron Poe is forced to tread a delicate line between being an innocent good guy and a criminal in order to survive the trip. But basically the film is just about a man trying to get a toy bunny home to his daughter.That's what I love most about ‘CON AIR,’ because of all the masquerading; it really is a hysterically comic flick. The characterisation teeters just enough into the tongue-in-cheek side of cliché to make it fantastically watchable. You've got the Dostoevsky-quoting field marshal Vince Larkin [John Cusack] waxing sociological with the brutish DEA agent Duncan Malloy [Colm Meaney] while they try to take back the plane; the quasi-profound Garland Greene [Steve Buscemi] who plays the OTT psychopath who turns up on board in a Hannibal Lecter-style face cage; and Joe "Pinball" Parker [Dave Chappelle] who gets side-tracked chatting up an airport employee in a hanger during a stop-off and almost misses the flight. There's also great action slapstick, like when (spoiler alert) Joe "Pinball" Parker's dead body is shoved out of the plane and lands on the bonnet of a car as the driver grumbles about his dirty windscreen.But while the first half of the film is all about the hijack, the second half is essentially about a massive gun battle in an apocalyptic dustbowl scrapyard. Cameron Poe, who unlike the other prisoners is technically a free man, does actually get an opportunity to escape at this point, but turns it down because his prison cell chum Baby-O who happens to be diabetic and is in dire need of insulin. Did I mention Cameron Poe really is a great guy, who risks his life to get a syringe for a near-death Baby-O, in a fine homage to an oft-overlooked sub-genre of cinema; films that use diabetes as a narrative device?Meanwhile, the plane takes off again, Cameron Poe's cover is broken and he is forced to fight for control of the aircraft for the epic finale; safely landing on the Vegas strip, a plane full of mad men crashing, cartoon-style into the American dream. It truly is a beautiful thing. I may be speaking for myself, but any action film that features the line: "Make a move and the bunny gets it", deserves to be watched at least seven times. ‘CON AIR,’ is one flight you cannot afford to miss!Blu-ray Video Quality – Touchstone Home Entertainment brings you this powerful action packed film ‘CON AIR’ in a brilliant awe inspiring 1080p image transfer, and an equally impressive 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Despite of its age, it has a great picture quality with some surprisingly good quality images. Virtually throughout the film it has completely sharp images. The contrast and detail is at a high level, with mostly very vivid image with some very good depth. You also have minimum noise in larger areas, especially in the darker areas. Minimal visible ghosting throughout the film and there is no artificial sharpening.Blu-ray Audio Quality – Touchstone Home Entertainment brings you this powerful action packed film ‘CON AIR’ with an equally impressive impacting 5.1 Dolby Digital audio experience. Even ‘CON AIR’ follows the same rule as the other Jerry Bruckheimer productions: to crack it and the more intense, the better!  And Touchstone Home Entertainment here gives ‘CON AIR’ namely not only provides a reference image quality but also a corresponding Home Theatre Sound experience especially in the numerous action packed scenes, where the walls of your lounge will tremble with great vibration. Here you have a full programme on offer: explosions are punchy, cannonballs hiss from one corner to the other and the engine noise of the ‘CON AIR’ comes with plenty of deep bass therefore I can honestly say that action fans will find themselves in seventh heaven acoustic!  There are not many quiet scenes in this film, but even these have been well implemented sound wise, while dialogue remains always well understood even in fast-paced scenes. So well done Touchstone Home Entertainment.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature: Movie Showcase [2007] [1080p] [2.35:1] [2:33] Movie Showcase is basically a series of bookmarks that lets you demo the 1080p HD picture and sound quality by selecting three big cinematic moments from the film ‘CON AIR.’ While it is presented in 1080p, the audio is in 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio, you do get the full HD experience. Touchstone Home Entertainment is basically giving you a Blu-ray demonstration of the three selectable scenes that are presented, the brilliant 1080p HD image quality with this Blu-ray disc, but personally I cannot work out why this has been included, very strange.Special Feature: A View From Above [1997] [480i] [1.33:1] [4:38] This “Making-of” is just under 5 minutes and is basically seeing behind-the-scene documentary of the filming of the film ‘CON AIR’ and some of the actors and several crewmembers have their say and they include Nicholas Cage [Cameron Poe]; Jerry Bruckheimer [Producer]; John Malkovich [Cyrus The Virus], John Cusack [Vince Larkin] and Simon West [Director] have far too brief words with their involvement in the film and you get to see a few set-shots. Basically, however, this is more or less a short promotional clip for the film, and this was originally only available as a DVD feature, that is why the quality of this video is very grainy.Special Feature: The Destruction of Las Vegas [1997] [480i] [1.33:1] [2:40] This is a follow up documentary to the previous special feature where again we see behind-the-scene of the film ‘CON AIR’ where you get to view them destroying parts of Las Vegas, especially with the CGI effects and other special effects inside the plane. We also get to view a miniaturised to scale of Las Vegas on the film set, to show you how they did the effects of the plane landing on the road and destroying parts of Las Vegas. We get also contributions from Jerry Bruckheimer [Producer] and David Goldberg [Visual Effects Supervisor]. Again this was originally only available as a DVD feature that is why the quality of this video is very grainy.Theatrical Trailer [1997] [480i] [1.33:1] [2:28] This is the original Theatrical Trailer for the film ‘CON AIR,’ but sadly not being shown in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Despite the slightly grainy image, it sure packs in a lot of hard action for this theatrical trailer, that really gives you a brilliant view of this film, to the point it makes you want to view the real macho testosterone ‘CON AIR’ film.Finally, here is another Jerry Bruckheimer high powered production value film and therefore another highly explosive rollercoaster ride of this always rapid all action film! ‘CON AIR’ picks up basically where the film 'The Rock' has ceased and offers even more breathless action and this time mainly in the air.  Nicolas Cage maybe the hero throughout the film, while John Malkovich is perfectly cast to be the disgusting villain again. To add other forms of ingredients into this rollercoaster ride, on top of all that we have John Cusack and Steve Buscemi to add some familiar faces, to counteract especially the performer of nasty macho felons who clearly had their fun and delightfully over-acting personified. With such exaggerated story line, ‘CON AIR’ is the best 1990s popcorn cinema.  Sit down (and do not forget to buckle up!). Switch off the brain and have a good over the top time! The film can also be technically convincing, since ‘CON AIR,’ after all is a 1997 film, but still looks up-to-date and especially with a very good and excellent 1080p image quality and an even more powerful sound design. Sadly there are only two extras as an added bonus that has only a short run length and very poor standard definition presentation with only a slight inadequate impression. Fans of this immensely exaggerated over the top genre action cinema à la Jerry Bruckheimer will certainly not let down with this truly spectacular Blu-ray disc release is not to be missed!

    '90s Action Classic!
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2020*

Growing up in the '90s was a great time for action movies. The decade gave us classics like Terminator 2 and Demolition Man. But it also gave us some really under appreciated movies like The Rock and one I watched a lot, Nick Cage's Con Air. I admittedly had a lot of nostalgia for the film and hadn't seen the movie for years until last week. When the film was under £5, I thought it would be fun to see it again. I'm so glad to see that it has held up well.Con Air is a film written by Scott Rosenberg and was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Directing the film was Simon West. A fellow mostly known for the great flick Black Hawk Down. He also contributed to The Mechanic and The Expendables 2 as well as The General's Daughter starring John Travolta. Con Air was released on June 6th, 1997 and stars a number of recognisable actors of the time including Nicholas Cage, John Cusack, Colm Meaney, Steve Buscemi and the scene stealing John Malkovich. The film features a nice pulsing intense soundtrack from Mark Mancina and former YES guitarist Trevor Rabin.As far as films go, I was impressed at how fresh I found Con Air after all these years. I mean, I literally wore down my old VHS and DVD copies years ago. I watched it so much to the point that I'm pretty sure I got sick of it. But after years of not seeing it, this film is a breathe of fresh air. Especially when compared to the appalling releases from Hollywood in 2000's. The premise is as silly as they come. Cage plays a soldier who gets locked up after killing a drunk in self defense. On the day of his release, he hitches a ride in a maximum security plane. On this jailbird is some of America's deadliest and most cunning convicts. The convicts break loose, cause an impressive amount of Hell and escape with the plane. The film consists of several big action set pieces, lots of great one liners and some very funny dialogue in between.The film is a very easy watch. The pacing is very fast from the get go. It doesn't bore you with any unnecessary emotions, tedious sex scenes and unwanted dated politics. It takes a good fifteen minutes to set up Cage's character and who his jailbreak rivals are. Once the ball starts rolling, it feels like a rollercoaster with many twists and turns. There's no chance for a breather until it's over. Just how an action movie should be.Con Air's bluray release leaves a lot to be desired. All the desert scenery etc all look great but the actual quality of the print is just okay. It's a little better than the old DVD copies but lacks the sharpness and clarity that you'd get on later re-releases. I think this may be a very early bluray release, a chunk of which weren't quite up to modern day standards. There's definitely room for improvement, maybe a true remaster down the road.I honestly miss action movies like this. Great one liners, intense pyrotechnics, very little CGI and a booming soundtrack. This was clearly made before the world went soft and it's obviously from a better time in terms of film making. It sure is not an Oscar worthy movie but it is a great time and definitely worth having if you want to take a load off with a fun movie.

    Typical Bruckheimer Action Flick
  

*by T***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2017*

My reviews of Blu-Ray discs refer to the quality of the sound and vision rather than the content film.Con AirMovie Release Year: 1997Barcode: 8717418126773Picture. For a movie of this vintage (20 years) they have made a very good transfer. Not quite as sharp as a blu-ray that we would expect from a film from 2015, but a excellent clean visual presentation thats way better than the DVD. Score 4.5 / 5.0Sound. The disc has Dolby Digital 5.1 & PCM 5.1 soundtracks which are really good. It really adds to the action scenes. Score 4.5 / 5.0Another score I include is Repeatability. This is open to personal opinion though.My Score 4.0 / 5.0Equipment used for the above review…Samsung 40” TV……………12 months oldYamaha 7.1 Amplifier………10 Years oldPanasonic Blu-Ray player….9 Years old7 KEF Speakers (Various Models and Age) + Yamaha Subwoofer…25 Years Old.I try to buy the best version of a film, be it Blu-Ray or DVD. Never buy on the release date if l can help it. Do extensive research on any film l may want to buy. Many films have been remastered especially on Blu-Ray but even after that, they may not be much better than the DVD version, so beware. Film companies issue more than one version of a film. Picking the best one by reading reviews is really the only way to guarantee good quality sound & vision for the film you want. Hence the above.Hope this will help with sourcing the right version for when your ready to purchase.
