3D adds so much to this film. It still looks good in 2D however, as a 3D fan, this was great. I had my 13 year old daughter watch it with me and even this grumpy teen liked it. I mean an "It's OK" review is a rave from a teen, right?

I was disappointed that one of my favorite pictures from the original was not included in this Blu-ray. There was a bear skull sitting on a ledge in the cave and a stalactite had formed over the side of it. The years that it must have taken for that to happen always impressed me. Still. The 3D was great and nothing was lost from the absence of this one picture.

I was a bit concerned in that I never knew if the original Arnold movie was shot in 3D. If not this was the first conversion to 3D I have seen. Still holds up after all this time. The 3D is good. The price was right.

Very disappointed. I mean the acting was OK and the Cinemaphotography was above par, but all of that really needed a plot to hang on which was not there. I bought it because I had a new HD TV, the actor and this blu ray was cheap.

To see "Faeiramir" from Lord of Rings again was excellent. The CGI was excellent. Fearless disregard of physics in most all action sequences - ships on the water, great blood splattering, good storyboarding to picture helped keep the plot in line.

What's great about it: Great use of CGI
What's not so great: Plot was assisted by voice over exposition - straight forward and to the point

Along with Streets of Fire this movie is favorite guilty pleasure of mine. Since Midnight movies generally show what is on the current bill only at midnight. I do miss the cat calls and audience comments. Still. A good run through the streets, parks and subways of NYC.

What's great about it: Besides the movie itself, the interviews with the cast's rememberences enhanced the entaire DVD.
What's not so great: Only the dicrector's cut. It would have been nice to have the original theatricla release as a comparison.

The difficulty in presenting the early phases of world domination by two of the main players of the 19th century is done well. Both the British and by contrast the French are aptly presented in this seafaring drama. Even the political and economic issues of the day are given a nod. Captain Jack's "this ship is England" speech to rally the crew before engagement with a larger better equipped adversary ranks as one of the best of its type.

Stephen Sommers' summer movie extravaganza Van Helsing comes to DVD in this widescreen edition thanks to Universal Studios (the lesser-recommended full-screen edition is also available). Packed to the gills with extras, this disc presents the film in an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen picture with both 5.1 and 2.0 tracks for your home theater to sink its teeth into. The multitude of extras includes an interactive tour of Dracula's castle, where the viewer is given the option to listen to Dracula (Richard Roxburgh) ramble on about the different sections of his homely abode. Other features include a ten-minute "Bringing the Monsters to Life" making-of that introduces the audience to the master effects technicians who brought the film's many pixels to life, while "You Are in the Movie" presents a look behind the scenes by an unprecedented amount of hidden cameras on the set. A blooper reel has also been included, as has a ten-minute "Legend of Van Helsing" special that delves into the character's lore from books to the big screen. Two commentaries are available for your listening enjoyment -- the first with director Stephen Sommers and producer/editor Bob Ducsay, and the second featuring actors Richard Roxburgh, Shuler Hensley, and Will Kemp. Finally, a playable version of the Van Helsing game can be accessed through an Xbox game console that allows you to play through the first exciting level of the game. If you're a pushover for Sommers' brand of over-the-top adventure antics, then this disc is for you. This movie is also available in the three-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition featuring an additional feature-packed disc along with another DVD that includes Universal's original Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolf Man movies, which inspired Van Helsing.

My cable box (Digital Transport Adapter, Comcast) only has coax in/out not RCA, how would I hook this up to it?
I'm not sure that you can with that wiring. Perhps going through the TV or another device and then routing it to the DVD-VCR recorder.

Can this system replace my DVR???
Perhaps. I think it would depend upon the vido source. I think that data is written to the HD of the device before it is sritten to the DVD.
