THE MOVIE \u2014 4\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Synopsis: <\/strong>CIA analyst Jack Ryan (JOHN KRASINSKI) is thrust into dangerous field assignments in different countries across the globe. From uncovering patterns in terrorist communications and networks in the Middle East, to tracking suspicious cargo tied to far-reaching conspiracies in South America and crisscrossing Europe to prevent the cascade of destabilizing conflict and global catastrophe, Jack will stop at nothing to protect the country he loves and her allies. The stakes could not be higher.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Tom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan<\/em><\/strong> is yet another attempt at bringing the character to life following the Alec Baldwin\/Harrison Ford films, Ben Affleck\u2019s turn in The Sum of All Fears<\/em> and Chris Pine in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit<\/em>, each one weren\u2019t at all bad and at the very least entertaining, though from my reading, none encapsulate the character quite right. This time John Krasinski plays the role and given a whole lot of breathing room to develop the character with the TV series format, and for the most part was a major success and really showcased that Krasinski is more than the goofy comedic actor as seen in The Office<\/em> (and subsequently a talented filmmaker with A Quiet Place<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Aside from Krasinski, the series also includes a wonderful supporting cast headlined by the underrated Wendell Pierce as James Greer (James Earl Jones portrayed the character in the original film series) and Michael Kelly who entered the show in the second season while Abbie Cornish appears in the first and fourth seasons as Jack\u2019s love interest, Cathy Mueller.<\/p>\n

Tom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan<\/em><\/strong> is a great series filled with some amazing, feature-film level suspense and action and finally gives the character his due and Krasinski is perfection in the role.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan<\/em><\/strong> comes to 4K Ultra HD with each episode presented in various aspect ratios from 1.78 to 2.00 and each episode with a 2160p high-definition transfer. The picture across the series does look great, detail has a nice sharpness to it and colors are well balanced with a push to darker tones but there are some vibrant color that comes through quite nicely.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Seasons one and two come with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks while seasons three and four are Dolby Atmos tracks. Although the last two seasons get a decent boost, the first two still offer clear dialogue levels while the action-packed scenes provide some good depth that packs a punch.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan<\/em><\/strong> finally gets the character due treatment, though I was entertained by the feature films, giving him time to develop over the five season run, and John Krasinski showcasing his action and dramatic chops. This complete series set offers good transfers but lackluster in the features department.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
