Paramount Jack Ryan Collection: Clear And Present Danger, Patriot Games, The Hunt For Red October, The Sum OfAll Fears (HD-DVD), The (Special Collector + Chr(39) + s Edition)x
  (9 reviews)
The Hunt for Red October- A brand new hi-Tec Russian sub under the command of Captain Marko Ramius, at the height of the cold war is found to be heading towards the U.S Coast. The Russian and American government believes he is going to attack, only C.I.A analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) believes the truth: he is going to defect... I believe that this is the best and most well made of the four Jack Ryan films. Baldwin far surpasses Ford as Jack Ryan, who in the words of a wise friend is typecast waaaay too much. A must see along with the three other movies. Patriot Games- Jack Ryan and his family are just beginning their vacation in London, when a group of terrorists cease a member of the Royal family, almost kill him in cold blood, but Jack is able to same the Lord, and even takes out one of the terrorists. For his courageous act the kill terrorist?s brother will stop at nothing to kill him and his family. Clear and Present Danger- Jack Ryan has been put unwillingly into the position of head of the CIA, when the Presidents closest friend is murdered. Ties to the drug lords in Colombia are discovered and a military force is sent to Colombia to fight a secret war against them, this was unknown to Jack and soon he finds himself in the cross fire between corrupt Political leaders and gorilla war forces. This is the worst of the Jack Ryan movies I must admit. Although it was a tricky plot and great acting, it just was not as good. The action was toned down and the space between the important parts was too much. Although with it flaws it is still an excellent movie. The Sum of All fears- A young Jack Ryan is just beginning his job as a CIA analyst, at the same time the Russian President is succeeded by a man with an unknown past. Soon the CIA starts to think that the Russian are building more nuclear bombs, but the truth is much more complicated than that: Neo-Nazi terrorists are planning to explode an atomic bomb at the Super bowl. The Newest of the Jack Ryan films still holds up against the classics, even with Ben Affleck replacing Ford as Jack Ryan. The suspense just keeps on building until it explodes...literally...

High-Def Digest reports missing features

Just wanted to put out the word that High Definition Digest is reporting: "In what may end up being the biggest packaging blunder yet for a high-def title, Paramount's 'Jack Ryan Collection' HD DVD appears to have shipped to retail in a deluxe "Special Collectors Edition" box set that contains none of its advertised bonus features."
IF special features are important to your value of this product, you might want to wait a bit until there's some clarification or resolution about purported missing content.
Another mediocre HD release from Paramount
By A1XUZUHS4XNTTY on 2007-10-18
The PQ is average compared to other HD releases. Paramount is recalling it because it contains no extras even though the package said so.
BUYER BEWARE
By ARUISDG8PUG18 on 2007-10-16
The packaging states "Special Collector's Edition", but NONE of the discs have any extras.
The picture quality is so-so for the first three, though "The Sum of All Fears" looks excellent.
The audio quality is great for "The Hunt for Red October" and "The Sum of All Fears", but don't expect much from "Patriot Games" or "Clear and Present Danger".
The item is great. Paramount SUCKS!!!!!!!!
By A3PV95KM3MCTTE on 2008-03-01
This is ridiculous, Paramount cancelling this HD DVD version of the Jack Ryan Collection even though they have 100,000's of thousands that want this on HD DVD.
Pathetic for Paramount to just flat out screw around with consumers. They've lost my business.
