With Days of Thunder, director Tony Scott tried to do for the Indy 500 what he did for the U.S. Air Force with Top Gun. But without Top Gun's go-go soundtrack and visual feats, Scott merely ends up with a Tom Cruise vehicle that's out of gas. Cruise plays (what else?) a cocky, upstart stock-car racer who faces down ruthless racing opponents. Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Cary Elwes, and Randy Quaid do the laps around this movie's tiresome track with Cruise, while director Scott attempts to propel the action along with his trademark visceral, gritty but glamorous visual style. Days of Thunder is notable, however, as a turning point in Cruise's then one-dimensional career. After this film--having tired even his most devoted fans by playing a bartender, an air force pilot, and a stock-car driver--Cruise was forced to take on real character parts. --Ethan Brown

 Bluray transfer is bad!!!!! May 30, 2009
Bradford D. Couey
Was excited this movie was on bluray. It is a guilty pleasure of mine and other race fans. But, the quality of the print used to bring this to bluray leaves a lot to be desired. There are little pinholes and trash all over the screen throughout the movie. Hands down the worst lookinf bluray I have seen!!!!!

"Days of Thunder" comes on like thunder. It is a winner. From the engine roar and fever pitch of professional stock car racing, "Days of Thunder" explodes with the most spectacular racing action ever captured on film. Tom Cruise plays race car driver Cole Trickle, whose talent and ambition are surpassed only by his burning need to win. Discovered by businessman Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole is teamed with legendary crew chief and car-builder Harry Hogge (Academy Award winner Robert Duvall) to race for the Winston Cup at the Daytona 500. A fiery crash nearly ends Cole's career and he must turn to a beautiful doctor (Nicole Kidman) to regain his nerve and the true courage needed to race, to win and to live. Pure pleasure.

I have the DVD version of this movie. For some reason I couldn't see it that well on my PS3. I tried all sorts of configurations and nothing. I got the BluRay and it looks pretty good. It's not GREAT, but it's an improvement over the DVD version.

Lossless audio in blu-ray makes this more enjoyable December 25, 2008

The movie itself is good if you are interested in racing and the personalities of the people involved. The blu-ray video has good clarity. There are white sparkles throughout showing the age of the movie. Lossless audio is TrueHD which does add a lot compared to sd dvd. The surrounds are active in the racing scenes. LFE is good. During the nonaction scenes the volume is somewhat lower then raises significantly at times in some of the racing scenes. The only extra on the blu-ray is a trailer.
