Argo Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

Argo has some stiff competition for Best Picture at the 2013 Academy Awards, but numerous wins at The Golden Globes and DGA, PGA and SGA Awards (among others), all seem to point at an Oscar. Overlooked for a Best Director nod, Affleck -- the once B-grade actor turned fully fledged star and filmmaker -- will have to settle for a producer's statue, though, as well as the knowledge that, regardless of accolades or awards, Argo has been widely and rightfully hailed as one of the best movies of 2012. Thankfully, Warner's Blu-ray release is befitting a film of Argo's caliber. With an utterly faithful video transfer, an absorbing DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track and a generous selection of extras (including an audio commentary, three featurettes, a documentary and a Picture in Picture track featuring President Jimmy Carter and the Hostage Crisis houseguests themselves), Argo is a must-own for any filmfan, curious cinephile or Awards completist alike.
