G-FORCE (2009, Blu-ray released December 15, 2009 – MSRP $44.99)
It’s another talking animal movie from Walt Disney Home Entertainment and another video review from my nephew and niece, Max and Olivia.
You know, kids are pretty easily entertained. A movie doesn’t have to be particularly good for little ones to enjoy it. Luckily for me (and my sister, who has to endure review screenings with her children) G-Force really isn’t too bad. It’s a pretty entertaining little talking animal romp with a healthy helping of fart jokes. And one that the kids, of course, fell completely in love with.
Geez, I hope those kids didn’t trample too much on copyright there with that “thumb” review. I’ll be sure to keep them to a numerical scale next time! But those thumbs speak volumes. The kids loved G-Force. And my sister’s rave review involved praising the film for not making her want to, “…tear out her eyeballs, like most kids movies these days!” so I guess there just might be enough to please everyone here, if they’re in the right mood.
However you may feel about the film, the G-Force Blu-ray disc is a real stunner! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Colours run a bit hot some times but black levels and detail are beyond reproach. Combine that with a well executed, if not explosive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track and you’ve got a great Blu-ray package.
This disc is full of bonus content that the kids won’t give a spit about but hey, don’t say Disney isn’t thorough. They provide a full length “Cine-Explore” Picture-in-Picture function with director Hoyt Yeatman sharing his commentary time with CG guinea pigs, Blaster and Darwin, a handful of “making-of” featurettes and some deleted scenes. The big hits with the kids here are the music videos (I know. Kind of sad, considering all the work the studio put into providing extras. But the kids are going to like what they like…) while the most popular extra with the adults is the “G-Farce Bloopers and Flubs” short – 2 minutes of actors struggling to perform with non-existent talking animals. Hilarious!
