Elizabeth [Blu-ray] [Standard]

My movie came earlier then expected, I’m very happy with my purchase

Cate Blanchett's star turn makes "Elizabeth" a must-own movie, especially on a Blu-ray that enhances the historical setting and colorful costumes. The audio is strong too, and it's nice to have multiple language dubs and sub-titles. The extras are the same as on the DVD, but the commentary is worth a second listen even if you bought the original release.

From beginning to end, this movie draws you in with its glimpse into the rise of Queen Elizabeth I. Cate Blanchett is fantastic in this role and is supported by a great cast, including Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes and Christopher Eccleston. The movie moves right along without leaving behind those who aren't much on history, and the byplay between the characters is very well done.

First of all, Cate Blanchett is amazing in this movie. I love the fact that it is historical...yet entertaining (doesn't watch / come across off as a documentary). Action, suspense...drama...swords...its a cool movie.

As someone who was only vaguely familiar with the subject of this film I found it to be very interesting. Worth a watch.
