Customer Rating: Summary: Bluray Review Comment: I havent seen this movie since i was a kid. (born in 85) but all i know is this movie creeped me out. I recently picked up the bluray version on black friday, and just finished watching it earlier tonight. I must say the film itself looks very good. I cant say much about audio since im currently without a home theater system, but i will have my new one tomorrow. Here are my thoughts:
Video: 4/5
Overall video is very clear and crisp. Gets grainy during some night scenes, but thats actually common with most HD films imo. Id say a solid transfer to bluray. especially for a film made in 1995. I hope "Heat" looks this good if bluray ever remasters it.
Audio: n/a
Cant say much since i currently dont have a home theater system. But it sounded good on my televsion.
Movie: 5/5
I think its a great thriller to show how deadly viruses can be, and the performances of actors/actresses make this a good satisfying purchase.
Customer Rating: Summary: Relevant story line, engaging characters, scary plot Comment: I saw this film years ago, and watched it on BD for the first time yesterday on a 42" Plasma and BD30K BD player. The storyline invokes the type of fear that is reminiscent of the best medical/disaster films, and the characters are real, and caused me to root for them. The acting was a bit over the top, but it was bearable, as the film was very suspenseful.
The history of the virus, military coverups and the ensemble cast create an exciting climax, and I mostly enjoyed the scenes between Kevin Spacey, Rene Russo and Dustin Hoffman in tracking down patient zero. For anyone that doesn't believe that this could happen, you are in denial. While we should not become victims of fear mongers and media-induced anxiety, the film paints a realistic "path" of how a virus could quickly spread.
I found the editing a bit abrupt in parts, and unfortunately, the transfer was not as clear as it would have been. Many sky shots and the colors were blurry the colors were not as vibrant. However, overall, if you like the action/disaster genre and enjoy films with a scientific/medical basis, this film will be entertaining and revelatory to you. 3.5 PQ, 5/5 AQ.
