Argo Blu-ray Review
A new cut and an extra hour of bonus content for Affleck's Best Picture winner? I'm in.

Argo Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

Overlooked for a Best Director nod at the Academy Awards, Affleck -- the once B-grade actor turned fully fledged star and filmmaker -- had to settle for a producer's statue and a Best Picture win, with the knowledge that, regardless of accolades or awards, Argo continues to be widely and rightfully hailed as one of the best movies of 2012. Fortunately, Warner's Extended Edition release is as befitting a film of Argo's caliber as was the studio's original February 2013 Blu-ray release. With a faithful video presentation of both cuts of the movie, an absorbing DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and a hefty helping of extras (including an hour of new bonus content, as well as an audio commentary, a documentary, three featurettes, and a Picture in Picture track featuring President Jimmy Carter and the Hostage Crisis house guests themselves), Argo is a must-own for any filmfan. Be sure to pick up the Extended Edition if Argo isn't already a part of your collection. If it is, ask yourself if a new 130-minute extended cut and an hour of additional extras is worth the price of admission.
