Movie Reviews of Forever Young (Snap Case)
Movie Review: A Time Travel Movie With Feeling
Summary: 4 Stars
This is another of these frozen-in-time movies. I know at least two of them that were made in 1991-1992 and they were both fun to watch: this movie and "Late For Dinner."
The good things that this particular film has going for it are: 1 - Mel Gibson plays a very likable lead character in "Captain Daniel McCormick;" 2 - there is a nice 1940s atmosphere in the beginning with a beautiful Isabell Glasser, who exhibits one of the sweetest faces and smiles I've seen on film; 3 - there is a good mix of humor, drama and intrigue, as well as fantasy in the story; 4 - there is a nice, almost tear-inducing ending.
The film got criticized for being too unrealistic but, hey, it's supposed to be a fantasy story where everything is not explained. Overall, a nice, touching movie.
Movie Review: Forever Young ...Forever Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
Forever Young is a nice harmless movie about hope, love and recapturing lost time. Mel Gibson is his usual charming self. He plays a pre-WWII air test pilot who volunteers for a hibernation experiment when he thinks his fiance is killed in a car accident. Then, he is accidentally awaken in the present (about 50 years later), befriends a boy and his mom, and goes on a quest to find his past. The story borders on being a tearjerker, but it's not too sappy with some touching moments and intense scenes. It's great that Gibson likes to take risks, pull back on some of his action movies and do movies like this. Great supporting cast with Jamie Lee Curtis, a young Elijah Wood, Joe Morton, and George Wendt.Movie Review: Well made fantasy romantic dramatic comedy.

Movie Review: Wonderful film, but yet another WB full-screen transfer...
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this film enough to buy it on a widescreen laserdisc (remember those?). Why-oh-why does Warner Brothers DVD division insist on continuing to crank out good movies like this in full-screen format? It actually takes MORE effort to transfer a film in pan-and-scan than it does to simply transfer it in it's orignal aspect ratio. I am waiting to buy this film on DVD if it ever comes out in widescreen, but until then I am boycotting all WB full-screen DVD's regardless of how good the movie is. That is the only way they will wake up and get the message: WE WANT WIDESCREEN OR BOTH VERSIONS ON ONE DVD; NOT FULL-SCREEN ONLY!Movie Review: Transfer to DVD is good!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good DVD transfer. The video is very sharp and clear. DVD has got stll scene selection (although I wish it were animated). Soundtrack and subtitles are available in English, French, and Spanish. Other extra features on the DVD include a theatrical trailer and other features like "Director's Chair", "The Producer's Office", "Aging effects" etc. However, all these features (except theatrical trailer) are presented in still screen text, which could have been better with in-person appearances. If you are a fan of this movie and own a DVD player, this DVD is worth buying.
