VIDEO & AUDIO:
“AIR FORCE ONE” features a comely solid transfer on Blu-ray. Video is presented in 1080p High Definition (aspect ration of 2:40:1) and one thing that I will accomplish certain is that while many films featured in the 90’s tend to have a DNR, shapely, waxy or soft conclude in terms of relate quality, the ample news is that “AIR FORCE ONE” does not.
In fact, there are scenes where the detail comes out quite nicely. But if there was one thing that the Blu-ray High Definition transfer does happen to bring out is the amount of grain. But I would rather capture a transfer burly of grain than the soft, waxy DNR view any day. And I am so contented that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment decided to feature “AIR FORCE ONE” with a first-rate HD transfer of the film.
As for the audio, I have one word and that is “sparkling”.
“AIR FORCE ONE” has one of the most impressive soundtracks that I have heard from a 1990’s film. The soundtrack honest sounds absolutely astonishing on English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (the film is also featured in French Dolby TrueHD 5.1) .
The film features a high number of action scenes and gunfire, music, mechanical sounds from the vehicles, jet engines flying, helicopter rotors spinning, it would seem that so mighty was achieve into the emphasis of having a fantastic soundtrack that “AIR FORCE ONE” truly delivers. And these are not short bursts of audio, there are plenty of scenes that spend this explosive audio throughout the film.
I was absolutely in fright of how all the speakers were being utilized, especially my surround channels and I also noticed a few times where my subwoofer would employ obscene frequency sounds. “AIR FORCE ONE” is an action thriller that truly delivers with its audio that I can say that this is one of the better sounding action thrillers from the 1990’s that honest shines on Blu-ray. And impartial to contemplate that this film is 12 years faded. I was absolutely thrilled by the audio quality of the film.
As for subtitles, the film is presented in English, English SDH and French.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
“AIR FORCE ONE” features a commentary track by Director Wolfgang Petersen and Michael Coleman. This is the same commentary from the DVD release but there is helpful information from Petersen on scenes that were valid aerial shots and not CG and which parts were shot on a residence and were CG’d. Also, learning about his feelings towards his cast members, Harrison Ford especially and how Ford did his absorb stunt work.
BD Live is also enabled and there are commercials in 1080p for upcoming releases from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
JUDGMENT CALL:
I am a gigantic Harrison Ford fan and I watched this film immediately when it came out on theaters. My first impression was that Harrison Ford should definitely be President because it was like a combination of a President meets DIE HARD’s John McClane. Well, not really but Harrison Ford’s role as a President who fights help was definitely a highlight throughout the film.
One thing that I know is when a film is being directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the viewer is definitely going to be treated with an exceptional, action-packed film and “AIR FORCE ONE” is impartial that. Even 12 years later and this film serene holds up quite well. Petersen and everyone enthusiastic in this film did a astonishing job and I have to say that this is my popular Harrison Ford action thriller to reach out in the 1990’s. He manages to have the suave, charisma and that witness and feel of an action star but in this case, he’s the President of the United States.
But for those who believe the DVD of “AIR FORCE ONE”, you may be wondering if its worth the double dip? I have to respond with an indecent “YES!!!”. The soundtrack of “AIR FORCE ONE” is top notch and I will say that its one of the most immersive soundtracks I have heard on Blu-ray. Also, bare in mind, this is not a current action film, this was a film released in the Summer of 1997 and it can compete with some of the modern, bigger releases on Blu-ray. That is how aesthetic this film sounds on Blu-ray.
If there were faults in the Blu-ray transfer, its the fact that there are not many special features included. Fair the audio commentary but no HD trailer and no making of featurette. The other thing is that although the film looks better than many 1990’s film on Blu-ray and avoids the waxy, DNR recognize but with its HD transfer, grain is elevated. Though not too poor, it is noticeable and this may be a shrimp explain for some viewers but I tend to be on side of grain is fragment of film and high definition elevates the glimpse of grain. And personally, I would rather grasp the grain than a transfer with a lot of DNR or edge enhancement.
Overall, “AIR FORCE ONE” is a glowing action-packed thriller and a film that Harrison Ford truly shines in. And as for the Blu-ray, this is the definitive version of “AIR FORCE ONE” to contain!
Air Force One, the 1997 summer hit directed by Wolfgang Petersen (The Boat/Das Boot, In The Line of Fire) and starring Harrison Ford as President James Marshall, stretches the term “willing suspension of disbelief” to its limits, yet, incredibly, it works.

Co-starring Gary Oldman, Glenn Finish, Wendy Crewson, Liesel Matthews, William H. Macy, and Dean Stockwell, Air Force One’s premise is simple: Russian ultra-Communist terrorists assume over the President’s plane on its intention relieve to the U.S. from Moscow. Marshall, who by happenstance is separated from his family and staff during the takeover, must utilize his military training (he’s a frail Air Force pilot) and his wits to procure control of Air Force One and rescue the hostages before the terrorists accomplish their aims.
The terrorists, led by Ivan Korshunov (Oldman), are seeking the immediate release of General Alexander Radek (Jurgen Prochnow), who was snatched from his palace in Kazakhstan by a joint team of Russian and American Special Forces. Radek and his followers bear in the restoration of the passe Soviet Union, and until both Russia and the U.S. intervened, had ruled Kazakhstan with as grand regard for human life as the Taliban exhibited when they ruled Afghanistan. After a ceremony hosted by the grateful Russian President in which Marshall warns rogue nations and terrorists that “we will no longer be horrified. It’s your turn to be shrinking,” the American delegation heads to one of Moscow’s main airports to board the Presidential plane.
Little do they know that Korshunov and his team, using falsified press credentials, have passed through both Russian and American security and are aboard. Ironically, they are given a tour of Air Force One by the unsuspecting assistant press secretary, Melanie Mitchell (Donna Bullock) . And why not? To the Secret Service agents and the Air Force Security detachment, Korshunov and his people are reporters, harmless and unarmed. So how in the world are these guys going to storm Air Force One, “the most accumulate aircraft in the world? ” Hmmm….and why do Korshunov and Secret Service agent Gibbs (Xander Berkeley) exchange that gawk as they pass each other, eh?

Petersen and screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe never do account for Gibbs’ motivations for his subsequent actions (as the director admits in the audio commentary track), but by the time audiences launch asking those “trusty life” questions about plausibility, the sheer adrenaline run provided by this action-packed film suppresses the “yeah, apt” response to its premise. The Air Force (which willingly participated in the production of this film) says there is no speed pod in Air Force One’s list of defensive measures, and viewers know that no sane person, whether terrorist or not, is going to fire automatic weapons inside an airborne plane unless he or she knew the mission was going to fail anyway.
Mixed in with the gunfire and explosions that punctuate the film, Petersen and Marlowe endow their characters with depth and believability. Petersen makes viewers care about each person being held hostage, warts and all, so that when one is lost, it feels dependable. Even Korshunov is played in such intention that his motivations feel good and heartfelt, even if his cause is not unprejudiced.
Yet Petersen and his cast and crew form audiences forget these dead sincere life facts. By the time the credits roll to Jerry Goldsmith’s rousing Raze Title Suite, the viewer will wish the recent occupant of the Oval Office were replaced by Harrison Ford’s President Marshall, who is not only a man of political integrity but also a man of action.
