George Clooney is one, Brad Pitt is two, Matt Damon three... well, let's just assume there are 13 collaborators in this installment of Steven Soderbergh's profitable caper franchise. We're back in Las Vegas for Ocean's Thirteen, where the boys plot to shut down the brand-new venture of a backstabbing hotelier (Al Pacino) because the guy double-crossed the now-ailing Reuben (Elliott Gould). If you look at the plot too closely, the entire edifice collapses (hey, how about those Chunnel-digging giant drills?), but Soderbergh conjures up a visual style that swings like Bobby Darin at the Copa. Other than the movie-star dazzle, the main reason to see the film is Soderbergh's uncanny feel for how the widescreen frame can float through the neon spaces of Vegas or sort through groups of characters sitting in hotel rooms talking (he shot the film himself, under his pseudonym Peter Andrews).
The film doesn't give enough time to goofballs Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (whose riffs made Ocean's Twelve worth seeing), although it provides comic stuff for a fun roster of actors, including Eddie Izzard, David Paymer, and Bob ("Super Dave") Einstein. Meanwhile, Ellen Barkin makes a fetching assistant for Pacino, and Pacino himself, his hair dyed Trumpian orange, is content to gnaw on some ham for the duration. Biggest puzzle about the two sequels is why George Clooney seems content to retreat from centerstage. Still, his Hemingwayesque conversations with Pitt are an amusing form of male shorthand, and even as the movie overstays its welcome during a long finale, Clooney's easy sense of cool makes it all seem acceptable. --Robert Horton

Danny Ocean (Clooney) and his gang are back, this time to get revenge against Willie Bank (Pacino). Bank has screwed over Reuben Tishkoff (Gould), and taken his land and money to build a new casino, causing Reuben to have a heart attack. The gang, led by Ocean, Rusty Ryan (Pitt), and Linus Caldwell (Damon), decide to put the new casino deep into the red and steal Bank's diamonds.
"Ocean's 13" is a vast improvement over "12" and on par with "11", if not a little better. The cast know their characters so well by this point and have a great chemistry. You know that they had fun making this movie, and it shows. The action is minimum, but interest is sustained through following their plan as it comes to fruition. There are some twists, but nothing earth-shattering. Mostly, this is a chance to see good actors doing their thing. Fans of this series will not be disappointed, and although director Steven Soderbergh says this is the last one, I can't help but hope that he changes his mind.

Movie's good! But DVD sucks big time!!! I've got VHS cassettes in better quality than that DVD. At the beginning, I thought my Sony Home Theatre System(DAV HDX500) & Sony Bravia TV got totally messed up. Turned out, there's nothing wrong with the equipment - thank God! DVD's a problem!
Sound (Only 2.1) & Picture Quality (Very grainy, lack of focus etc.) make that movie "unpleasant" to watch. Even if you have decent TV & HTS. Kind of a bad copy of a very used VHS cassette. Shame on Warner Bros. or those guys who release such poor quality DVDs. I decided to buy/rent a couple more copies and compare the quality. If they're any better, than Amazon.com should reconsider their partnership with the distributor or whoever they are, 'cause it's definitely not the product I've expected!

Warner Bros seems to be trying to populate their Blu-ray portfolio on the cheap. The sound is just Dolby 5.1, the same as a cheap DVD would have (some DVD have better) and the picture... it might have been some artistic selection to make it so but, I am not kidding, I spent 15-20 minutes while watching this movie trying to adjust my TV, thinking that maybe it was something wrong with it.
I will not recommend buying this. News to Warner Bros: Blu-ray allows you to include nice things such as 'uncompressed' audio and I can't think of any excuse for not having it on a relatively recent movie.

All I can say is that I am extremely disappointed in the video quality for a high definition disc. Sure, the picture sharpness is way better then DVD, but there is SO much noise and grain in the video, it is almost unwatchable. A friend got the DVD and even though it is not as crisp, the grain and noise is so much less. I am completely disappointed in this Bluray version. So much in fact that I am trying to exchange for the DVD version it is so bad. It is as if the disc is defective, but from reading other reviews, that is just how bad this version is. Stay away.

I have a new Samsung 1080p HDTV and an Onkyo A/V receiver which upconverts video to near HD quality using the Faroudja processing chip. Every other Standard Definition DVD I have watched on this system looks fantastic. However, Oceans 13 looked awful. The picture was very grainy and the colors were distorted. The actors all had orange skin which made them look like they slathered themselves with some cheap tanning lotion. I could only stand to watch about 45 minutes of this DVD.
I did some research online and found that a few DVDs don't look good when processed by an upconverting DVD player or receiver. Oceans 13 was specifically mentioned on one A/V forum as a DVD which looks awful when upconverted. Very disappointing to say the least. If you have an upconverting DVD player or receiver, don't waste your money on this movie.

The color balance on this was so bad I returned the disc, thinking that it was defective. The characters have orange skin, the contrast loses all the shadow details, and the color is so saturated that it's almost unwatchable. It was NOT this bad in the theater.
I finally turned down the color on my TV by 50% to make it through the movie. This disc has the same problem on two different DVD players and two different TVs - it's the encoding, not the hardware.
Skip this unless you're on a B&W set!

Definitely have to pay attention in the beginning to appreciate the complexity of their scheme/ scam (I have a habit of doing busy things/ watching tv at same time :-) But this one definitely beat out Ocean's 12 by far! Clooney & Pitt still lookin' good too!
RE: other prev comments on Unbox . . . Amazon is obviously still working out a few kinks, but stands by their product w/ outstanding customer service! In the beginning, I had a few probs w/ movies not downloading properly to my Tivo. All anyone has to do is just send them a quick email about what's going on & they'll make it right in no time. You will definitley get what you paid for (and not pay for it twice). I've rented several movies since & now, NEVER have any problems ordering/paying straight from my Tivo.
I think Unbox rocks (and of course, my Tivo!). . . it saves me from the huge hassle of having to go through the motions of turning the computer on, etc., especially since being disabled

One of the Worst Movies I've ever seen, I fell asleep in the theater
A constant parade of well dressed stars doing things that are completely impossible. I guess if you really like these actors enough to overlook any sort of realism whatsoever it... Read more

Fun movie. Great way to pass time on a plane. I would definitely recommend it to others, but I still like Ocean's Eleven best.

Ended up giving up watching
After it stopping and refusing to recover about 5 times I finally gave up. No way to tell if it is the hotel wifi or amazon streaming, but certainly frustrating.
