Viewing Notes

I consider this the third of Ridley Scott’s three best films (Alien and Blade Runner being the other two, in that order). I love the shit out of this movie and rewatch it several times a year (along with Ronin and Heat, Black Hawk Down is one of my most rewatched movies ever).

This is one of the few films that makes me wish I had a true home theater with a 100 inch screen and an HD projector. the Bluray still looks and sounds pretty damn kickass on my 50 inch plasma and surround system, so I’m not complaining.
