An interesting film, remastered

on January 6, 2017

Posted by: sportandpastime

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought this film on Blu-Ray, because on a regular DVD, it looks terrible. On a regular DVD player, this seems like an incoherent, wildly careening fantasy about abstractions (like "Evil" and "Love") that are portrayed with all the subtlety we remember from similar films like Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest. The movie starts in Ancient Egypt, when a large pyramid is invaded by men in silly "robot penguin" suits that anyone, even Lady Gaga, would find tacky (see photo).

But in Blu-Ray the heroine seemed more fragile, yet more plucky, at the same time. The hero was so flagrantly remastered that I could see each individual growth of stubble on his chin, and the bad guys were clearly very bad. On DVD, unremastered, I thought the hero was played by Jean Claude Van Damme, whereas now I can tell it's Bruce Willis. In fact, it's now possible to see, in high definition, the famous glitch where Bruce Willis is accidentally clean-shaven (for a split second).

You get the idea, I'm sure. Buy this movie. If you don't, who will?

My Best Buy number: 1058137779

I would recommend this to a friend!
