Product Description

Widescreen/Blu-ray. PG rating. Hunt for Red October. A contemplative thriller by early 1990's standards, the Hunt for Red October was the first movie based on the successful Jack Ryan novels of Tom Clancy. Hunt for Red October stars Alec Baldwin as eccentric CIA analyst Ryan and Sean Connery as Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius. In the movie, Ramius sets the plot in motion when he murders his political adviser, burns his orders, and steers his sub Red October towards American waters, hoping to defect Robbed of much of the book's Cold War appeal by the time of it's release, the movie was nonetheless embraced by American audiences; it was among the ten highest-grossing movies of 1990.

Extremely well made movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you get this movie you will not be disappointed. There is tension, logic, plot, sophisticated solutions. Characters are not evil on one side and superheroes on the other side but real people with colorful personalities. Sean Connery in role of a Russian captain is excellent. Alec Baldwin and Scott Glenn are very good in their roles. Movie is based on Tom Clancy's novel and Tom Clancy gets it right. I've never been in a Russian or US submarine but the way the movie presents environment inside both types of submarines it looks very realistic. It just could be like that.

We are Talking About The 4K Version, Here!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Despite a couple of flubs, this is one of the greatest movies ever. Unfortunately, the VHS and DVD versions were not that great a quality of transfer, a real shame for a movie of this caliber. The quality of the Blu-Ray version was better, but still not great. This now, is the 4K version and it is not really 4K quality but it is much closer to what the Blu-Ray should have been. Go ahead and drop the few bucks for this version, I think you'll find it worthwhile.

Since the Russians are “topical,” yet again…

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

… I thought I step outside my normal genres of movies and watch a Cold War classic “thriller,” based on the Tom Clancy eponymous novel, which was published in 1984. The novel has been fairly wide-read, with 1500 plus reviews posted at Amazon. The movie version, directed by John Tiernan, was released in 1990. And the movie has more than 3000 reviews. In evaluating an item I normally try to compare it against other items within its category. This can sometimes lead to some screwy results, as it were, when one is evaluating a “torrid romance novel.” In both that case, and in the case of “Red October,” how much “disbelief” is it appropriate to suspend? In addition, I could not help but compare this movie with one produced almost three decades earlier, with some common themes: “Dr. Strangelove.”

“Red October” is the latest super-secret Soviet submarine, with a new propulsion system that permits it to run very quietly, almost undetectable by normal sonar. It is named for the month in which the Russian Revolution of 1917 occurred, which actually happened in November, if one is keeping track on the Gregorian calendar (it occurred in October, on the Julian calendar, which was operative in the Russian Orthodox Catholic world at the time.) “Red October” is under the command of Captain Marko Ramius, who is not Russian, but Lithuanian. He is at the very top of his game in the Russian navy, having trained many of the other sub commanders. It is hard to imagine anyone playing that part better than Sean Connery. James Earl Jones is Admiral Greer in the American navy. Alex Baldwin plays the part of Jack Ryan, a famous character in his own right, who continues to live on today. Ryan is a book-writing CIA operative, also at the top of his game.

Ramius has decided to defect to the Americans, taking the sub with him. Early on, it is demonstrated that he knows the “enemy” (the Americans) well. Although his name is not mentioned in the movie, in the book that Ramius carries in his cabin, the famous quote by J. Robert Oppenheimer (“that fella up there in Los Alamos,” as he was once described to me), “Now I am Death, the Destroyer of Worlds,” taken from the Bhagavad-Gita, is underlined. It is the boat’s political officer, Ivan PUTIN (I can’t make that up!) who questions Ramius about this. Ramius blames his wife for underlining it! Later on, Ramius draws on the precedence of Cortez burning his ships once he got to Mexico. Adding to the glossy patina of intellectualism of some of the characters, the very clever American sonar technician enjoys his opera!

The two-hours plus flew by. It is a “thriller,” after all, with enough twists and turns in the plot to keep it very interesting. Ramius had written a letter telling the Soviet naval leadership that he was defecting, and thus the entire Russian navy is after him. The Americans can’t be sure he is defecting, or going to blow up NYC and DC. Every second counts, of course. Several bushel baskets full of “disbelief” must be suspended, for example when the American sub commander, who has Ramius in his sights, must surface to pick up Ryan, who is being helicoptered to the sub, in a chopper with not quite enough fuel, and he drops in the ocean to keep his rendezvous. Ugh. And that is just one example.

In “Dr. Strangelove,” it is an obsessed rogue American general who launches a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. There is a lot of slapstick gallows-type humor as the Russians and Americans work together to thwart the attack. In “Red October,” the “rogue” Russian commander is not depicted as being crazy and the gallows-type humor is missing, but there are similar scenes of the Russian and American leadership working together, sometimes at cross-purposes. I think “Strangelove,” even with its deliberately exaggerated humor (“a fella could have a good time in Vegas with all that”), is a much better depiction of the real world than “Red October,” with its heroic CIA operatives jumping off the helicopter cable into the icy North Atlantic.

Overall, the time did “fly by,” and I am most surprised that no other reviewer has called out this fantasy as being even more unlikely than “Major King Kong” (Slim Pickens) riding that nuclear bomb down to its target (Note: James Earl Jones also played in “Strangelove” as Lt. Lothar Zogg). For “Red October,” a “screwy” 3-stars.

4K Version is Better than the earlier 1080 Blu-ray Version

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Please Note: My review and ratings are based on the quality of the new 4K version of this film--images, sound, and extras and how these compare to the previously-released Blu-ray version of the film. I am not rating the acting, direction, set design, etc. which can be found in other places, but instead I am helping you decide to upgrade to 4K or not.

The quality of 4K films, in comparison to the regular Blu-ray versions, often depends upon two things: (1) the quality of the original that they have to work with; and (2) how much effort they put into the project. Here there must have started with either the original film or a first-generation print of it.

There is a noticeable upgrade from the regular Blu-ray version to the 4K version. I did a side-by-side comparison of both films and you will notice improvements in the video quality of the 4K version--more details, sharper images throughout, improved resolution, and better color saturation. You will notice the improvements most in outdoor, daylight scenes and less so in night-time scenes. There are no glitches in the print--no "snow," spots, or lines. It is a very good image.

Interestingly, there is no mention of this new release being an HDR version of 4K, and that's probably a good thing. HDR makes the contrast sharper by making dark colors darker and light colors lighter. This has worked well for some films and not well for other films. The most common complaint for HDR when it is bad is that the scenes are too dark in the 4K version of the film, particularly night-time scenes (Skyfall, Spectre, & Van Helsing all suffer from this). Happily no HDR problems here. Everything looks good, including the night-time scenes or dimly-lit submarine underwater scenes.

The 5.1 audio is excellent and an improvement from the regular Blu-Ray version. Several special features are included as well, including commentary by the director and a feature entitled "Beneath the Surface."

I now own about sixty 4K movies or nature specials. Roughly 45 of the 60 show noticeable improvements in video and audio. The others either are roughly the same from Blu-Ray to 4K or suffer from the aforementioned HDR darkness issues. So it's overall good but in some cases not worth buying the film again in 4K. My favorites in 4K and I'm talking about imagery, not the plot or acting? Jurassic World, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Planet Earth II, and the Flight of the Butterflies. Those films really wow you in 4K.

This is an excellent film in 4K and is worth upgrading to if you already own the regular Blu-ray version.

CONNERY BETTER THAN BOND?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

I found this 130 min REGION B/2 DVD highly entertaining and very engrossing and am sure that it will keep most viewers on the edge of their seats. It's a very intense film but nothing serious.
Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan and starring Sean Connery and Alex Baldwin. The Hunt for Red October seethes with high-tech excitement and sweats with the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically superior Soviet nuclear sub the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Alex Baldwin) has a different idea, he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it as the entire Russian naval and air commanders are trying to find him too.

RED OCTOBER BLURAY 2011

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

A gazillion reviews....So mine is brief. An excellent BluRay transfer 2.35.1 ratio, good colour, crisp clear picture and sound and good subtitles. The film is full of suspense and great acting, particularly from Connery and Baldwin, but also from an excellent support cast including Richard Jordan, Scott Glenn, Sam Neill and James Earl Jones, all on top form. The sub is (like the one in VIGIL) a very sinister object indeed, and the interior is very convincing. A bit long, but I loved it. (The film, not the sub.)

Magnetised.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Hunt for Red October arrived promptly. and looked in perfect condition.Unfortunately, when we watched it, there was what appeared to be a magnetised section halfway through the film...after a lot of effort, we managed to get it to move on, and the final section was perfect. Really disappointing, and if we didn't know the film already, it would;ve been ruined. We won't trust "Used Very Good" again, sadly.

Submarine adventure starring Jack Ryan

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

A fantastic film and a brilliant copy. Like most older films the faces are not as clear as the rest but this is one of the most icon films of it's time.

Jack Ryan is brought into a meeting about a new sub just launched by Russia. They set out to find out what the submarine's purpose is. We find out a lot about Jack. It has a lot of action in the cat and mouse chases. Not only the Americans but the Russians are looking for the sub. There is a great twist at the end.

The film has a lot of character, some amazing acting and amazing special effects for it's time.

Was waiting to get the DVD, it came quickly but it is in a foreign language with no option but to switch to English, so utterly utterly annoyed, same thing with all the DVD's I got except the Dambusters, on a UK site everything should be for UK format and in English.
