This question in itself contains the possible spoiler so don't read any further if you haven't seen the movie.

I just picked up 'The Guardian' Blu-Ray on my lunch break, and was looking at the case. I haven't ever seen the movie, but one of the extras listed on the back is "Alternate 'Randal Lives' Ending "


WTF were they thinking????? So now I might possibly know Kevin Costner's character dies, before even watching the movie. Thank you Touchstone

I hope it isn't the case (no pun intended)

That is just way to funny.

You might want to watch the movie (it's a pretty good one), may not be what you think...

Are you serious??? You can tell that just by watching the trailer.


I guessed it before the movie even hit theaters. In the trailer you see him training Ashton then Ashton getting in trouble and Costner going after him. Then you see a scene With Ashton crying and hugging someone at a funeral.


Wasn't it obvious he was going to sacrifice himself to save Ashton?

I thought it was an ok movie but extremely cliche. It's pretty much An Officer and a Gentleman on the water. It's also way too long.

That's generally why I avoid the trailers if at all possible. This time I didn't see the whole trailer, but the disc case gave it away. It's like recording the big football game , and going all day without having someone tell you how it ended, then just as you are getting off the bus to go home, the bus driver tells you the final game score

hows the PQ, and thanks for ruining the movie for me!

 

[iluvthsgam]

actually that scene is from the graduation, not a funeral.

 

[BrandonJF]

Unbelievable. I'm glad I didn't read the back before watching it.


I just watched that alternate ending. Haha. Almost cringe inducing.

 

[Bing]

I quite enjoyed it. I haven't seen An Officer and a Gentlemen, but it reminded me of Top Gun, which is a good thing. Full of cliches but gives you what expect and want. Kind of a warm, fuzzy, comforting, crowd pleaser (for me anyway). Ashton did an admirable job, but I'm not sold his acting ability. To me, he's most comfortable at improv, coming up with witty one-liners and comebacks.


The ending wraps up the story nicely. It's fitting that Randall dies in the sea, and even in the afterlife, continue to save lives. The movie title made sense at the point. (ok I'm a little slow.......)

I finally got around to watcing it tonight, and even though Touchstone gave awaey the ending for me on their own packaging, it was still an enjoyable movie. Definitely a nice feel to the ending with the afterlife rescue bit.


Really nice picture quality for the most part. Very natural looking colors and some of the best fleshtones I have seen in a movie.

THUMBS UP!


Great movie.

 

[godrive2]

Very nice Blu-Ray transfer and the uncompressed sound was excellent.

It was about 20mins too long, could have really shortened the training a bit and more charactor development. Thought the love story part was just thown in the last min.
