Overall, the story is inspiring and moving to the audience because of the courage of Captain Phillips to save the life of his crew. That is truly being possessed even in the start of the story. He continued his journey even if he has that gut feeling that something might go wrong. Being alone with the pirates and terrorist is such a frightening experience. You just don't know if you will survive the situation. Very clear and concise picture experience with this Blu-ray. Love it except the dark scenes and the long journey in the sea.

I love Steelbooks. I will always shop at Best Buy as long as they continue releasing Steelbooks (Harry Potter series, please?). I loved the artwork selected for this new Captain Phillips Steelbook combo pack. Typically, a Steelbook combo pack includes enough holders within the case for each separate disc. However, in this instance, both the Blu-ray and DVD were placed in the only holder available. This caused the top disc (DVD) to become dislodged and rattle around inside the case. Normally, this isn't a problem, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a second holder for the second disc.

Based on a true story, this drama involves an unarmed container ship off the coast of Africa that is boarded by Somali pirates. Captain Phillips has his crew hide in the engine room, while he lets himself be captured, but the pirates refuse the $30,000.00 in the ships safe and want to ransom the entire ship and crew for millions instead. Phillips had sent out a distress signal and while waiting for the U.S. Navy to arrive, the crew manages to turn the tables on the terrorist leader and a compromise of a lifeboat is given the hijackers to escape if they release Phillips. The tables get turned again and Phillips is now on the lifeboat with the terrorists who are debating whether to kill the captain or not. Does the Navy arrive in time? Watch the movie.
