Dark Tower
With Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba
Interesting Facts about the movie:
- According to an introduction by Stephen King in one of his books, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly along with the Lord of the Rings book series, is the primary influence for his The Dark Tower series
- During one of Jake’s visions at the beginning of the movie, he hears the phrase, “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” This is, word for word, the opening line of the first book in the Dark Tower series
- Daniel Craig, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen, Javier Bardem and Mads Mikkelsen were all considered for the lead role before Idris Elba was cast
- The Dark Tower is 182 meters, or 600 feet, tall, stands in the eastern land known as End World, is surrounded by a field called Can’Ka No Rey, and is held together by six beams that stretch to the corners of the land and are guarded by 12 massive beasts on each end

For those who get the 4k set, as is usually the case, the UHD disc just has the movie and then the rest of the bonus features are on a second, regular, blu-ray disc. The A/V quality of the UHD disc is outstanding. Pretty much what I would describe as reference quality video with visuals that really pop. There are a handful of extras on the regular blu-ray disc including a gag reel, deleted scenes, a couple of featurettes about adapting the books to the movie, character profiles on Roland and The Man in Black, and trailers for other Sony movies. All totaled, the bonus features run about an hour, give or take.
The movie is good, but not great. Elba does a good job playing the character of Roland as a reluctant hero (not quite an anti-hero) and McConaughey does a good job as the bad guy of the movie. It is what I would classify as a decent action movie, but the story really should have been a series (even just a limited event series with 10, hour-long episodes) so that the entire story could be told and should have been done without being watered down. I think most people who are huge fans of the books will probably not like the movie adaptation. I think most people who are a fan of action movies, but who have not read the books, will probably like it more.

Now that is said and out of the way, what a cracking movie. I always had the idea of Roland as a cross between King Arthur and Clint Eastwood, Idris Elba nailed it. Also Jake's and Walter's roles were played almost to perfection. The books ending left me a little let down, you'll need to read them to understand, but the film ended much more clearly leaving me nicely satisfied. Action all the way with great effects to boot. I normally watch movies at home around gaming but not this one it got my undivided attention.
All in a great watch and well worth the outlay.
