4.0 out of 5 stars ROCKing Sort of..., July 1, 2009

First of all I have to say I love this movie for many reasons. One of which is for the fact that Horsemouth is an awesome drummer and he had an aspiration to make a movie in his lifetime and made it happen. AWESOME! A low budget film, but it makes it so perfect! The music selections make this flick totally worth buying!

So my discrepancy, unlike the DVD version of "Rockers," the blu-ray version only has the film, chapter selections, and audio selections. The DVD has a menu on terms used by Rastafarians and a menu where you can listen to most of the tracks on the movie. Granted the menu on Rastafarian terms is kind of lame, it at least has more on it than the blu-ray version. Why did Blu-ray come out if they aren't going to use everything it is capable of? It can hold more information and at higher resolution. So why aren't these menus and MORE on this DVD? Well, I have no clue. But I would suggest you buy the DVD version cause you'll get more out of your dollar. This blu-ray version really disappointed me! Not worth the price!

I first saw the film in 1983 ,when a friend showed it to me on VHS. I was instantly hooked ,and blown away at the amazing music and culture of Trenchtown.I also understand why Bob Marley was not featured in the film ,as he was way over exposed at that time .I have owned the first DVD version ,and the 25th annv. edition ,which I gave to a friend ,as a gift. I have dreamed of a Blu-ray transfer ,and am not that concerned that all the extras from the re-released DVD are not there ,but it is puzzling. I have not yet seen this ,and will possibly ammend this review ,but I am hoping for a straight film to Blu ray transfer. I hope to god this is not some Hack DVD clone job ,as I would be devastated. I intend to enjoy this film in it's pure aspect ratio and Hi-Res glory. DVD is ancient and I am done with it. Please let it be a "tru Blu" Film Transfer.

Rockers, the movie that starred great artists in the soundtrack and a few known reggae artists in the Movie. About a young man who gets pay back. Even though the transfer of the film was not all that. You should own this piece of Reggae Jamaican Film History.
