The Plot
Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) are up against one of the most vicious and dangerous villains to plague the galaxy ever. Boris The Animal (Jemaine Clement) has been imprisoned in a secret facility which houses only the most ruthless and perilous of aliens. And due to this, the facility is kept on the Moon, hundreds of thousands of miles from citizens of Earth. Of course, it was only a matter of time before Boris would find a way to escape and get revenge on the person who put him there.
After Boris escapes the prison on the Moon, he goes directly to Earth to formulate his plan to make sure he is never imprisoned again. But how to do this? Well, going back in time and taking out Agent K is on the top of the list.
The next day Agent J goes to work to discover his partner is nowhere to be found, and finds out from Agent O (Emma Thompson) that Agent K died in a battle with Boris back in 1969. It doesn't take long for Agent J to figure out Boris has gone back in time and messed around with history — eliminating Agent K from getting in the way in the future.
Agent J goes back in time to convince Young Agent K (Josh Brolin) who he is, and the alien he did not kill...will come back and kill him, enabling the unleashing of an invasion on Earth 25 years later. This time Boris must be permanently taken care of.
Sounds easy, right?
Packaging
Packaging for Men In Black 3 arrived in a standard "Snapper" Blu-ray case, with one Blu-ray disc and a DVD disc. I don't particularly like these Snappers, but I did manage to receive a slipcover as well, so all is well.
Screencaps
Video
Men In Black 3 is one of the best Blu-ray releases I've seen, and could be used as a reference for video.

Conclusion
Men In Black 3 has delivered. I have to admit, I was a little cautious with the third MIB installment, but ever since the beginning of the film, I didn't look back. One of the best indicators if a movie has done it's job is how many times I get up off the couch. For MIB3...I didn't get up off the couch at all.
Having one of the very few amazing picture quality presentations I've ever seen, as well as a cast of characters which do not disappoint, Men In Black 3 (Blu-ray) gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I have to admit: I wish there were more MIB films popping up every other year or so, because Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones just click their heels together in unison when it comes to comedy. Some people may not like the rather raw and simple schtick humor, but I love it when somebody gets gooed by an alien creature, or their little head pops off while doing something outrageous. Some actors cannot pull this off or enhance the other characters. This is why I prefer Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones because their personalities clash, which makes it so believable.
Another note about the video. Yes, it's looks gorgeous. You should get a copy of MIB3 just for video reference purposes to show off your new HDTV. You won't be disappointed, but you WILL BE disappointed at how many Blu-ray releases could have been so much better. |
