Editorial Review:
In Ron Howard's thrilling follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, expert symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows ancient clues on a heart-racing hunt through Rome to find the four Cardinals kidnapped by the deadly secret society, the Illuminati. With the Cardinals' lives on the line, and the Camerlengo (Ewan McGregor) desperate for help, Langdon embarks on a nonstop, action-packed race through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and the most secretive vault on Earth!

Description of Angels & Demons [Blu-ray]:
If the devil is in the details, there's a lot of wicked fun in Angels & Demons, the sequel (originally a prequel) to The Da Vinci Code. Director Ron Howard delivers edge-of-your-pew thrills all over the Vatican, the City of Rome, and the deepest, dankest catacombs. Tom Hanks is dependably watchable in his reprised role as Professor Robert Langdon, summoned urgently to Rome on a matter of utmost urgency--which happens to coincide with the death of the Pope, meaning the Vatican is teeming with cardinals and Rome is teeming with the faithful. A religious offshoot group, calling themselves the Illuminati, which protested the Catholic Church's prosecution of scientists 400 years ago, has resurfaced and is making extreme, and gruesome, terrorist demands. The film zooms around the city, as Langdon follows clues embedded in art, architecture, and the very bone structure of the Vatican. The cast is terrific, including Ewan McGregor, who is memorable as a young protégé of the late pontiff, and who seems to challenge the common wisdom of the Conclave just by being 40 years younger than his fellows when he lectures for church reform. Stellan Skarsgard is excellent as a gruff commander of the Swiss Guard, who may or may not have thrown in with the Illuminati. But the real star of the film is Rome, and its High Church gorgeousness, with lush cinematography by Salvatore Totino, who renders the real sky above the Vatican, in a cataclysmic event, with the detail and majesty of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. --A.T.

Angels & Demons [Blu-ray] Reviews:
An exciting, fast-paced mystery thriller with plenty of plot twists
2009-12-28 - This movie is an exciting mystery thriller, with plenty of action and plot twists. A pope dies and a new one must be chosen. A crime is committed and Tom Hanks is called in by the Vatican to help save the church itself. Ancient clues hidden in banished documents kept secret for decades in the Vatican archive vault may hold the key. Church politics, the Swiss Guard and a secret society called the Illuminati are all obstacles the Professor must face in a race against time as he follows a trail of religious icons around the city of Rome to find the answers.

ENJOYABLE SECOND FILM IN THE SERIES
2009-12-28 - I enjoyed this film more then the first.
I think Tom Hanks was better in this second instalment.

Angels & Demons
2009-12-28 - I enjoyed the movie very much. The director follows the book better than most. I'm very glad I got it.

Good movie.
2009-12-28 - A great sequel that is better than the first movie. Well worth the additional money for Blu-Ray.

Horrible
2009-12-27 - Embarrassing! I did like the Davinci Code movie actually. It was not great but kind of OK and did its job. This movie is totally embarrassing: it is a mix of science and religion with a completely hysterical wild plot that you cannot follow if you do not stop the movie all the time to check out facts. Who has the time if to look up these facts and to interconnect them to make a book or a movie? They should get a job where they are needed! Also it is at moments too dark (the way it is filmed) and gruesome in the way the murders are depicted.
