2 movies, 2 discs, Jun 8 2011

I'm happy to report that the somewhat misleading use of the term "2 movie set", while true, is less informative than '2 Disc Set'. Yes indeed this is a 2 disc set, not '1' as widely speculated prior to release (also shown as '1 disc' on Amazon's product page).

I have always been a huge fan of Firefox, lumping it in with Hunt for Red October for my "superior Russian tech we must steal" flicks. I was surprised at out crisp the blu-ray transfer is and really enjoyed watching it for the first time in a few years.
The sound design/mix is of particular interest to me - the soundscape they engineered for this film is exceptional. At no time during the plane visual effects sequences do you feel like you are listening to a post-produced "mix" - it registers as very real for me, which is great because the model effects don't always hold up as I would like them to.
Great price point and two movies to boot (still have to check out Heartbreak Ridge). Enjoy!

Mixed Video Quality / Very Good Audio, Jun 17 2011
By Cincinnati Dan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firefox/Heartbreak Ridge [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Please describe the audio and video quality of any Blu-Ray you review. Thanks to those who do this.
Both movies have DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtracks, which are very good.
Video quality varied throughout the movies. Firefox started out very good, and had a lot of very good parts, but some parts were grainy. The flying scenes at the end were, unfortunately, grainy. Heartbreak Ridge also had some very good parts, and some grainy parts. Video quality in these two movies wasn't great, but mostly good.
Overall, these are pretty good movies, and I'm not terribly disappointed with the video quality. I'm satisfied with this purchase.
