Product Description
Universal Van Helsing - HD-DVD
Legendary monster hunter "Van Helsing" (Hugh Jackman) is summoned to mysterious Transylvania on a mission that will thrust himinto a sweeping battle against the forces of darkness! With non-stop action and electrifying special effects, "Van Helsing" is an adrenaline-powered motion picture event Roger Ebert calls "Spectacular!"
Amazon.com
Like a roller coaster ready to fly off its rails, Van Helsing rockets to maximum velocity and never slows down. Having earned blockbuster clout with The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, writer-director Stephen Sommers once again plunders Universal's monster vault and pulls out all the stops for this mammoth $148-million action-adventure-horror-comedy, which opens (sans credits) with a terrific black-and-white prologue that pays homage to the Universal horror classics that inspired it. The plot pits legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) against Dracula (the deliciously campy Richard Roxburgh), his deadly blood-sucking brides, and the Wolfman (Will Kemp) in a two-hour parade of outstanding special effects (980 in all) that turn Sommers' juvenile plot into a triple-overtime bonus for CGI animators. In alliance with a Transylvanian princess (Kate Beckinsale) and the Frankenstein monster (Shuler Hensley), Van Helsing must prevent Dracula from hatching his bat-winged progeny, and there's so much good-humored action that you're guaranteed to be thrilled and exhausted by the time the 10-minute end-credits roll. It's loud, obnoxious, filled with revisionist horror folklore, and aimed at addicted gamers and eight-year-olds, but this colossal monster mash (including Mr. Hyde, just for kicks) will never, ever bore you. A sequel is virtually guaranteed. --Jeff Shannon

 Great looking Blu-Ray November 25, 2009
Bill F. Armitage (Canada)
The first time I saw this in the theater, I have to say I was disappointed. I wasn't expecting an Indiana Jones type Van Helsing... but it is a great movie, a real roller coaster ride, and a fantastic looking Blu-Ray!

I miss monster movies...This style of movie along with The Mummy, bring good fun back to horror movies. And while this movie isn't perfect, its intent is. A+ for courage to do something different.
got to get it October 23, 2009

I have the movie on regular DVD, but have a playstation 3 now so all the good movies I'm getting on Blue Ray to catch the extra sound and picture quality. this movies does it all. Amazon has the best prices and with free shipping over $25 all is well. Keep up the good work Amazon.

This movie had everything it held your attention from start to finish, the great thing about it was, every monster I had ever seen as a child was in this movie.No other movie has ever given us Dracula,Frankenstein,wolf Man and Mr. Hyde. It started old World and finished modern. I loved the take on James Bond gaget inventor who was not yet quite a priest and Van Helsing's guide. Your heart just went out to the Frankenstein monster. The story line was fantastic you understood what was going on the entire time . The visual effects was exciting, but i wanted Anna valeris brother who looked a lot like Errol Flynn ,to stay alive a little longer,and it would have been great if you could have seen them clearer in the clouds at the end . But as a whole this movie was spectacular.
