‘Speed Racer’ Is out now on 4K Ultra HD

Speed Racer didn’t do that well when it first came out. I watched it and actually had a great time and enjoyed it immensely. When I heard this film was being released on 4K Ultra HD I hoped I might get to watch it again. I was able to get a review copy of this movie and here is what I thought of it.

You can read the plot for this film here:

Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized – the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.

Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret – some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits.

If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival – the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) – to win the race that had taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

I enjoyed watching this movie again. There was action, suspense, drama and a few cool surprises as the plot moved forward. The cast has a blast playing their characters and helping bring this story to the big screen. Once this film came to a close life for this family was never going to be the same. If you are a fan of this movie then you will want to pick this one up on 4K Ultra HD.
