Jack Ryan has been a formidable character on the page and on the screen, appearing in dozens of novels and several films of high regard in which the character was portrayed by no less than four actors. But with Amazon's Jack Ryan, the character, now played by John Krasinski, has really come into his own for a new generation in a way that the Chris Pine take never quite achieved. Here, with more breathing room (though still lacking far behind the depth of Clancy's original novels), the character flourishes in a modern setting but still exhibiting the same character traits and core sensibilities that have translated nicely from page to screen and into a new generation. Season three sees the story continue, this time along the course to a potentially global and devastating World War between superpowers.
Paramount releases Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season Three to Blu-ray with a fine 1080p transfer, The show was digitally shot, and the source translates exceptionally well to 1080p. There is some noise to contend with, no surprise given the source, but noise is generally light and unobtrusive, and it's the only real "drawback" to an otherwise fine release. The image is pristine beyond, offering incredibly complex and tactile details, especially in close-up where faces and clothes are just alive with intricate and intimately visible detailing. Even broader shots that show various environments, from vast outdoor areas to tight quarters inside Naval vessels, have nothing that is left unseen or less than perfectly detailed. Colors are rich and robust with the sort of depth and accuracy viewers expect form the best digital sources. Tones are bold and flattering, perfectly nuanced, and exceedingly accurate. There is no wonky contrast and no temperature manipulations here. Whether green foliage, blue waters, or other vivid tones, there is no mistaking the precision at play. Black levels are perfectly deep, whites are crisp, and skin tones look great. This is a wonderful Blu-ray presentation from Paramount.
Paramount releases Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season Three to Blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. The presentation is just about as good as they come for range, dynamics, detail, and efficiency. The track takes every opportunity to seize the channels at its disposal for enormous usage, whether considering music, action, or support effects. Score is prominent and big but also painstakingly clear. Spacing is full and the surrounds, overheads, and subwoofers are extensively utilized to add immersion and depth with seamless surround integration and perfect harmony with the main front channels. The overheads are not overtly used with discrete musical effects, but the overall support and precision with which they bring about a fuller stage is certainly one of the most impressive feats, and treats, this track has to offer. Music can range from subtle to deep and dramatic, and it holds absolute excellence through the entire musical spectrum. Ambient effects are wonderfully integrated and lifelike for detail and placement alike. One of the best listening examples comes in the season's final episode. Listen to a scene inside a holding cell at the 11-minute mark. The depth of the slamming doors in the background, a constant low-end rumble, and other touches make for a wonderful example of the track's fullness and precision. This also extends to other elements, like dialogue reverb of varying levels, outdoor elements, sound effects inside a Naval ship, or general location din. Everything is in perfect balance. Action effects are superb, including helicopter rotors that slice through the stage or missile launches that rip through with authentic depth and full surround placement. Dialogue is always clear, centered, and well prioritized from beginning to end. This is easily a first-rate, five-star experience in every way.
This Blu-ray release of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season Three contains deleted scenes scattered throughout the two-disc set. No DVD or
digital copies are included with purchase. This release does ship with a non-embossed slipcover.
Disc One:
It's hard to argue that Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season Three isn't the best yet for the scale, scope intrigue, action, and timely relevance of its story. The other seasons have been rock solid, but this one takes everything up a notch. it's clear cast and crew are comfortable with the material but not resting on their laurels; this is a well-done show that really blossoms in season three. Paramount's two-disc Blu-ray release is short on extras -- only a handful of deleted scenes are included -- but the video and audio presentations are fine. Recommended!
