The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Geronimo: An American Legend recounts the proud history of the famous Apache warrior who refused to accept the destruction of his people and, through his resistance and bravery, earned the respect of those he fought against. Wes Studi (The Last of the Mohicans) gives a dignified central performance as the eponymous Native American hero and is ably supported by Gene Hackman (Cisco Pike), Jason Patric (The Lost Boys), Robert Duvall (Badge 373) and, in an early role, Matt Damon, who all play his adversaries in the US cavalry. Unjustly neglected upon its original release, Geronimo benefits from John Milius and Larry Gross's respectful, considered screenplay which is elevated by the epic sweep of Walter Hill's direction. A visually stunning film that beautifully captures the vastness of the frontier landscape, Hill's film is given extra poignancy by Ry Cooder's moving score.
Reviews
»Eine entscheidende Phase aus dem Leben des Apachenhäuptlings Geronimo (sein Ausbruch aus dem Reservat und seine jahrelange Verfolgung) dient als Vorlage für ein von früheren Hollywood-Ressentiments befreites Bild des Kampfes zwischen Indianern und amerikanischem Militär. Ein eher unterkühlter als enthusiastischer Film, der versucht, Heroisierung auf beiden Seiten zu vermeiden. Kraftvoll und ohne sentimentale Ablenkungen inszeniert.« (Lexikon d. int. Films)
