hmmm ... how to put this?
"White house is Down " has good performance by actors; good plot; good story line. ... just not the energy-charged film "Olympus Has Fallen" provides.
We kept it with our action genre DVD's
"White House is Down" is worth watching ...
Keep in mind that the quality of what you see and hear also depends upon the quality of TV monitor you are using and its accompanying home theater processor and speakers. I have a pretty high end,7.1 esoteric system and am judging the Blu Ray off of that. One last thing, I do wish Amazon would separate the film reviews into Blu Ray, Standard Def and Streamed categories. It is a pain to have to scroll through a ton of streaming reviews just to find a review of the Blu Rays.
VIDEO QUALITY....
It is unfortunate that instead of paying for just the film and extras you wanted you are also paying for a long advertisement regaling the greatness of 4K's format as well as several (5) long previews of other films. These just take up room on the disc which demands a further compressing of the footage of the movie you are paying for. The more compression any movie has, the lesser the quality of the what you are seeing and hearing.
Never the less, the footage in White House Down is really very clean and without artifacts or aliasing anywhere that I could see. The color grading is warm and slightly saturated, however, for this Blu Ray it appears that the blacks have been somewhat crushed too much. Despite much of the film taking place in shadowy & dark areas, the crushing of the blacks removes some of the small details. In light areas, details in hair and skin textures do come back. The average Mbps rate generally stayed at around 27Mbps and this is surely due to the pointless advertising and previews in the beginning of the disc. These ads all take up room on the disc causing for more compression as I stated before.
There is a good deal of CGI effects throughout the film and the CGI was done very well. In many cases in other films CGI and Blue Screen fx are quite obvious but not for this film. The only area where I thought the CGI was less than stellar was in a long shot showing smoke and fire in the dome of the White House. This short shot just didn't appear very real to me. However, for the rest of the film, it was beautiful created and done.
AUDIO QUALITY
The lossless 5.1 DTS HD MA audio codec is a major star and player in this film. Regarding this codec, I have come to believe that any lossless DTS HD MA codec is superior to any Blu Ray with a lossless Dolby Digital True HD codec. The dialogue is clear and transparent in this film and does not get stepped on by the massive number of loud and expansive sound fx of gunshots, explosions, car chases and helicopters/jets. The editors did a wonderful job of editing the audio so that there is a goodly amount of immersive sound ambience. Your LFE sub channel gets and aggressive workout throughout the film. Discreet steering of foley fx between the front and rear sound stages as well as the left and right surrounds made White House Down on Blu Ray a real theatrical pleasure. A+ for the audio here.
EXTRAS....
I certainly do not count the ad for 4K and 5 previews of other films as extras. That said the extras are plentiful and very enjoyable. The gag reel has several instances of goof ups and other extras regarding The Beast(the presidents car), Recreating the White House, a doc on the weapons used, VFX boundaries, creating the action scenes, and much more were all very well done and interesting. They were far more than the usual talking heads type of extra we see in directors commentaries. I watched them all in one sitting. Unfortunately, there were no deleted or extended scenes.
Then there is the Ultra Violet copy of the film which, when I went there, as usual was a pain in the butt. They direct you to both UltraViolet as well as Flixter and I have always had difficulties with both. I would like to be able to just download it to my iTunes app where I can access it at any time.
I do hope that this review has been of some help to you in deciding your purchase. All my blu ray reviews focus only on the actual quality of the transfer to blu ray so I hope some of them may be of help to you as well.
Thanks for reading.
So what I’m trying to say is that this movie is perfectly awful in terms of plausibility or logical continuity but ya know what? In Roland Emmerich’s world belief is meant to be suspended in order to enjoy the journey. If you think about the destination the magic is ruined and it becomes a stinker of a movie. But in Roland Emmerich’s fantastic universe a sense of humor is just another dimension of the ambience. And in Roland Emmerichs’s world Tatum Channing has to end up with his shirt off sweaty and smudged by the orgy of exploding cars, national monuments, bad guys and have I mentioned, Black Hawk helicopters?
This movie sucked in terms that a movie critic would understand but my inner child loved it. There was the right balance of stuff blowing up, emotions being tugged and sprays of bullets that somehow always miss the hero. You just can’t fire that much weaponry at one human and not have something hit him. Except in Roland Emmerich’s world where the hero, by golly, actually is invincible against all odds. And they all get to fly away in a Black Hawk helicopter at the end. Sweet.

Personally I quite enjoyed 'Olympus has Fallen' with 'Gerard Butler'
This film is brought to us by the director 'Roland Emmerick' who
brought us the visually spectacular movies such as...'INDEPENDENCE
DAY'....'THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW'....and...'2012'
'John Cale' goes to the 'White House' for an interview to join the
security staff there, he takes his young daughter 'Emily' along to
enjoy the experience of the surroundings.
He's turned down, he and his daughter join a White House tour that
is just about to start, before the tour is completed a 'paramilitary'
group posing as workmen have smuggled in an explosive device along
with an array of weaponry, things soon kick off.
'Cale's' first instinct is keep his daughter safe, but events move
fast he soon becomes a key player in trying to ensure 'President
James Sawyer's' safety.
Retiring Chief of Security 'Walker' is running the show....he has
a purpose in mind....if things don't go the way he intends and the
authorities don't follow instructions....the sixty one hostages die,
along with the President (if they can find him that is)
Explosive action throughout as all-hell breaks loose in and around
the White House'
As one would expect there is an impressive array of special-effects
to cherish.
Great picture and sound quality throughout.
(can honestly say, I enjoyed both this and the 'Gerard Butler' movie)
5/5 for entertainment value.

*A dynamite duo' - 'Tatum Channing' and 'Jamie Foxx'

* Recreating the White House.
* VFX - 'Boundaries Down'
* Lights, camera, heart-pounding-action.
I’d go as far as saying that it’s the kind of movie that – at least on paper – we should all hate: big, loud, dumb, derivative, but the director seems to know this, and fully embraces it – cheesing everything up to 11. The only real downside is that it’s a tad on the long side (for the kind of film it is). If you want a cheesy 80s/90s big-budget one-man-army taking on waves of despicable henchmen, look no further.
Score: 8/10
