Movie Reviews of Iceman
Movie Review: Good Flick, worth the purchase!
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many other reviewers, I saw this movie a long time ago, and remembered liking it. So for various reasons that I will not bore you with, I purchased it recently, and was not disappointed. Although the movie actually has less happening in it than I remember (meaning less events), it was surprisingly much more powerful, and much more heart-wrenchingly-sad for me this time around (or perhaps I got more sentimental as I have aged- gasp! ;-).
For many (but not all) people under 25 (the generation that I feel is mainly into special effects, and constant action (be it sexual or violent), and has less appreciation for good dialogue, acting, and plot), this movie may move too slow at times, have too little happening, and will consequently probably have them bored by the end of the movie. However if you are not in the category I mentioned above, and you have a heart that can actually feel empathy for others, and you like something that is thought provoking...If you like a film that will probably get you to reflect on modern and ancient humans, the evolution of religious beliefs, human psychology, human rights, and other deep topics, than this movie, (although it is by no means in the same league with movies like Casablanca) is a good film, and definitely worth the purchase! ...Compliments for the man who played the Iceman- great character acting!
Movie Review: ICEMAN full screen
Summary: 2 Stars
ICEMAN is a 4 1/2 star movie from 1984. It stars Tim Hutton and a knockout performance by John Lone. Well directed and great music. It's a very credible sci-fi and a must see BUT not if it's not in it's original panavision aspect ratio of 2.35:1. As soon as I saw it was coming out I put it on my wish list and ordered it. Now I've found out that Universal is releasing it as pan-and-scan so I immediately cancelled it. Wait until someone wises up and gives us what we want. BOYCOTT THIS RELEASE !!!!!!!Movie Review: Low budget story filming and ending
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all the 3 reviews complaining about "Pan and Scan" (on how it was filmed) had to be made by three film students in the same class. Low budget, simple plot, stupid medical revival, ok acting, blurry jerky camera pans, impossible hugh tropical cage in the arctic, desire to cut him up and then letting him go. And being an Air Force vet, how could a 200 pound man jump onto the runner of a helicopter and not be noticed and fall for several minutes from a height of 20 feet. Why not land the chopper so he could live instead of the pilot offering his hand to a caveman who thinks the chopper is a bird. WEAK, DUMP WASTE OF TIME that's why it is being offered for $3.Movie Review: This DVD is in Pan & Scan not Widescreen
Summary: 1 Stars
A very good story and movie. Ruined by releasing it in Pan & Scan. I ordered it but did not notice the
version was the chopped up "full screen" version. I won't even bother to send it back. It goes in the trash along
with any movie that is not in it's original, uncut, widescreen format. What a waste of a good movie.
Movie Review: ASPECT RATIO 2.35
Summary: 1 Stars
I am hoping that Universal is releasing Iceman in it's original aspect ratio. It is releasing Colossus: The Forbin Project in pan and scan which was 2.35.
If you have to have pan and scan at least do wide screen also on the disc., or do another disc release.
It is a real disappointment for such good movies.
