Product Description
Bluray Disc
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another entertaining romp for the Marvel-superhero franchise. Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), is treading on thin ice when his fiancée, Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), thinks he's more interested in a series of cosmic phenomena occurring around the earth than in the preparations for their upcoming wedding. Sorry, ladies, but Reed is right. The disturbances are caused by a surge of cosmic power from a mysterious being called the Silver Surfer (an all-CGI creation, modeled by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne), who not only zooms around the skies on his board, but also has enough power to fight the FF, sometimes by turning their own power against them, not only mixing up Sue and Reed, but also Johnny Storm, the Human Torch (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm, the Thing (Michael Chiklis). But that's not the worst of it. The Surfer is only an opening act, a herald looking for planets that his master, Galactus, can consume for his sustenance. With its initial installment, Fantastic Four established itself as the superhero franchise that didn't take itself too seriously, and that continues here. There are numerous moments of laugh-out-loud humor, and the most angst they suffer is whether Sue and Reed will ever be able to live a normal family life. (That, and whether they'll ever really get married, of course.) If Fantastic Four were a normal superhero franchise, the ending would be a knock-down drag-out war with Galactus, featuring the FF in a colossal battle for the planet Earth and the lives of everyone on it. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer… just doesn't do that, and we don't quite get the payoff we expected. Effects are dazzling, but the Surfer looks too metallic, more like a skyriding T-1000 robot. --David Horiuchi View Stills from the Blu-Ray's Exclusive Games (Click for larger image):

I thought this was a great action flick. Looks great in High Definition. Worth the extra $ for the Blu Ray Disc.
This Blu-ray has 3-D pop! October 7, 2007

We've all waited a while to see movies from Fox on Blu-ray, but this one was certainly worth the wait.
I'd say the most amazing thing about this movie is the 3-D pop to an absolutely immaculate picture. Dark scenes, like the starfield and planets in the beginning title sequences and the night skylines of NYC really sparkle. There is no edge-enhancement or pixelization to be found anywhere in the feature.
Bright outdoors scenes like the wedding, and the F4 battle with the Silver Surfer are pure demo material.
The lossless DTS-HDMA is another showcase soundtrack from Fox. Although I can only hear the DTS 1.5 mbps core with my current setup, I can hear the music, rear surround and effects in such a rich presentation that it reminded me of my theatrical viewing of this movie.
There is an awful lot of extra content that I have not begun to explore yet, but the Galactus game is interesting.
Some of the other reviewers here mentioned problems playing the movie. I can understand their frustration, but the insert inside the case clearly advises every viewer to update the software on their Blu-ray player. I would not fault the movie or even Fox studios for this problem, but most likely the player manufacturer's who don't have current firmwares that can play this disc. (Currently only LG and Samsumg are having issues.) I played the movie without a hitch on my Sony BDP-S1 and my PS3. I will mention that the BDP-S1 had firmware that was 2 versions older than the latest. The player handled it flawlessly both before and after I updated to the latest version. It is reported that the Panasonic, Sony, and Pioneer players are working well with this disc.
With the stellar picture and sound quality, extra content and games, this disc is truly worth a purchase if you like this type of film!
Reference quality - Show it to your friends October 7, 2007

Being a fan of the silver surfer and Marvel comics, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The PQ and AQ are stunning, this is definite reference-quality material that you can use to show off the Blu-ray ability to your doubting friends.
Also, please ignore the negative 1-star reviews that have been given regarding this movie. If you look at the people who left these negative feedbacks, their previous reviews show that they are HD-DVD supporters/trolls. They do not own blu-ray, and are just bitter that blu-ray is going to win the format war.
Buy this movie, it wont disappoint.

Plays fine in my 1400.
The firmware is coming real soon for the samsung 1200 and the lg super multi blu.Those are the ONLY players to have the problem.
There's been problems with HD DVD discs too...this kinda thing happens.
So relax.
This is a reference disc!
