Editorial Reviews
This classic rock opera is brought energetically to life by an outstanding cast including many stars of the rock music industry. Told through the remarkable music of The Who, this is the story of Tommy, who, when just a boy of six, witnessed the murder of his father by his mother (Ann-Margret) and her lover (Oliver Reed). They command him, “You didn’t hear it, you didn’t see it, and you won’t say anything to anyone…” As a result, the traumatized boy retreats into the shadows of his mind and becomes deaf, dumb, and blind. Growing into manhood, Tommy (Roger Daltrey) is subjected to several bizarre cure attempts by The Acid Queen (Tina Turner), the Preacher (Eric Clapton), and the Specialist (Jack Nicholson). In spite of his handicap, Tommy defeats the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) and becomes the champ, attaining a devoted following. When he is finally cured, he is hailed by his fans as a “Messiah.”

a REVIEW from an OWNER ....sadly NO bonus features!!!!,
By
This review is from: Tommy [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I was thrilled to pick this up a few days early at my local record store....but HORRIFIED to find it a bare bones affair. Yes, it does look even better than the Superbit version but my UK 2 DVD set from 2004 has HOURS of bonus features...
1) Director Commentary 2) insightful interview with Ken Russell by Mark Kermode 3) more of Ken Russell discussing Tommy 4) Pete Townshend interview 5) Roger Daltrey interview 6) Ann-Margret interview 7) Trailer, Press Promo materials, a featurette on the Sound... NONE of this is on the new Blu-RAY.... with any luck it will all be on an all region UK blu-ray.. I'll refer to this version as a Boo-Ray... GREAT MOVIE...but I can't rate this a 5 STAR Blu-Ray DVD...my review is NOT for the movie but the product/presentation itself...

No extras carried over from the British DVD?,
This review is from: Tommy [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
From what i read,there will be no extras,I personally love the movie,but will wait until it hits $9.99,and stick with the brilliant British 2 disc DVD,with interviews and commentries.

TOMMY....MY SENSES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tommy [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
In 1975 Tommy was released to the masses....a movie that a 'few' people 'got' and became an instant Cult Classic. With the release of Tommy on Blu Ray, I can happily say that the sound and picture quality took me back to the first time I became a witness to this spectacular visual oddity, a follower and mad admirer of The Who, and the stunningly beautiful and underrated performance by the incomparable Ann-Margret, sit back and enjoy why Tommy will always be in a class by itself...twisted and stunningly done. Kudos Ken Russell! My senses will never (thankfully) be the same~
