Kurzbeschreibung Laufzeit: 1080 Minuten. Diesmal ist der Terror ansteckend! Drei Jahre sind vergangen, seit CTU-Agent Jack Bauer einen Terroranschlag vereitelte, der die Vereinigten Staaten in den Krieg stürzen sollte. Jetzt ist er wieder in L.A., nachdem er nach sechs Monaten Undercover-Arbeit den Drogenbaron Ramon Salazar dingfest machen konnte. Doch da bekommt das FBI einen Drohanruf, demnach ein tödlicher Virus in Los Angeles freigesetzt wird, wenn Salazar nicht innerhalb von sechs Stunden aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wird. Als sich die CTU fieberhaft daran macht, den Virus aufzuspüren, wird Jack klar, dass es nur eine Möglichkeit gibt, weitere Forderungen der Terroristen abzublocken: Er muss die Herkunft des Virus ermitteln - indem er Salazar selbst aus dem Gefängnis befreit... Season Three - Disc 1 13.00 - 16.00 Uhr (Episoden 1-4) Season Three - Disc 2 17.00 - 20.00 Uhr (Episoden 5-8) Season Three - Disc 3 21.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Episoden 9-12) Season Three - Disc 4 01.00 - 04.00 Uhr (Episoden 13-16) Season Three - Disc 5 05.00 - 08.00 Uhr (Episoden 17-20) Season Three - Disc 6 09.00 - 12.00 Uhr (Episoden 21-24) Movieman.de Schon die erste Staffel war phantastisch, doch die zweite konnte dies noch toppen. Und nach dem erstaunlichen Ende der zweiten Staffel steigt man nun direkt ins beste und intensivste Jahr von "24" ein. An der Erfolgsformel hat sich nichts geändert. Noch immer ist es ein im Endeffekt 18 Stunden langer Thriller, der hier geboten wird. Und am meisten Spaß macht es natürlich, diese Ladung an Episoden in ein oder zwei Tagen zu sehen, enden die meisten Folgen doch mit einem Cliffhanger der das Warten fast unerträglich macht. Fazit: Exzellente Serie in Echtzeit. Extrem spannend! Moviemans Kommentar zur DVD: Eine Serie auf hohem Niveau. Und das gilt sowohl für Bild und Ton als auch für den Bonus. Fans werden hier ihre helle Freude dran haben. Bild: Im Vergleich zu den vorherigen Staffeln stellt sich die vorliegende dritte Season etwas besser dar, was for allem auch für die Farben gilt, die sehr realistisch und natürlich wirken, was dem mitunter dokumentarischem Stil der Serie natürlich zugute kommt. Die Schärfe ist angenehm, wird aber besonders bei schnellen Schwenks, eine Spezialität der Serie, immer mal wieder etwas weicher (z.B. bei Episode 3: 00:10:14), aber man muss fairerweise auch zugeben, dass dies kaum ins Gewicht fällt. Ein konstantes Grundrauschen ist vorhanden (00:13:02; Episode 3). Der Kontrast könnte mitunter noch etwas differenzierter sein (Episode 13: 00:4:52), ist aber letzten Endes auch noch im grünen Bereich. Ton: Wie oftmals ist die Sprachverständlichkeit bei der Originalfassung nicht unbedingt besser, aber doch weit angenehmer, fügt sie sich doch adäquat in die Kulisse ein, während die Synchronisation ansonsten oftmals viel zu laut ist und die Dialoge dementsprechend aufgesetzt wirken. Der 5.1-Ton versteht es, Atmosphäre zu erzeugen. Die Musik ist leise und unaufdringlich, aber präsent. Extras: Die Extras haben es in sich und verdienen die Höchstwertung. Neben einer stattlichen Anzahl an Audiokommentaren ist das Kernstück der Bereich mit den entfallenen Szenen, die beinahe eine Stunde lang gehen. Nicht jede Szene ist hier wirklich toll, aber einige hätte man in der Serie selbst gerne gesehen. Auch was die Dokumentationen betrifft, gibt man sich hier keine Blöße. Sei es die sehenswerte Dokumentation über die Biowaffenbedrohung oder das gut halbstündige Making of, hier wird wieder und wieder in die Tiefe gegangen und auf überflüssiges Blabla verzichtet. Schade nur, dass die Vorschau auf die vierte Staffel, die es etwa bei der US-Box gegeben hat, hier fehlt. Das wäre das Tüpfelchen auf dem I gewesen, doch auch so kann sich angesichts der Masse und Qualität des Bonus kaum beschweren. --movieman.de -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels. |
