Movie Reviews of Around the World in 80 Days (1989)
Movie Review: Great mini series, poor product
Summary: 2 Stars
This mini-series has a great cast and is quite enjoyable. The acting is everywhere from competent to very good, and you'll enjoy the many famous faces.
Unfortunately the video obviously came straight from tape .. and OLD tape. The picture is fuzzy most of the time, grainy all of the time, and occasionally you see double images around the outline of actors and objects in the background.
The colors are considerably off from its original broadcast.
Most annoying is the soundtrack. The dialog is OK, but the background music is almost without exception a victim of the type of distortion that comes from old tape.
I literally have better vidoes that I taped from TV, and then dubbed from VHS tapes to DVD as much as 15 yeasrs later.
The bad news is that this appears to currently be the only way to get this complete mini series, and if you can travel back in time 20 years and pretend that you taped this while you were away with a bad VCR on a cheap VHS tape, you won't mind it too much. LOL
When you compare this to DVDs of the Remington Steele show (also with Brosnan) that was produced a few years earlier than this, you'll see that no effort at all went into the transfer, and evidently no effort went into the search for a better source master.
