Movie Reviews of Return to Treasure Island
Movie Review: First class entertainment from Australia...
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite having been filmed by a non-major studio, this is a fabulous sequel to Disney's "Treasure Island".
In the present form, the DVD comes out shining. Excellent restoration and vivid colors make it fully worthwhile watching.
This is a 2.55:1 widescreen presentation, and as such it is presented here. No cropping of any kind (like reducing it to 1.85:1 or 2.35:1). The soundtrack is in an unbelievably clear and polished Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Stereo.
VCI Entertainment (the Label of this DVD) has surpassed itself for this production and this is simply a must buy.
Reprising his former role of said Long John Silver, is the brilliant Robert Newton, but the rest of the roles have been recast. Despite of it, they all do a marvelous job recreating what was left of from the previous movie and bring it back now, in these new adventures of high Sea piracy.
Due to its format, this is truly a spectacular movie, with wonderful vistas and a sense of grandeur, that in today's movies is usually lacking and replaced by overblown special effects.
It is not "Pirates of the Caribbeans", but still highly entertaining and amusing. Thrills are there and not artificial as the ones we get nowadays, but rather subtle in coming, and once they are there, they are truly felt.
I can only recommend it.
But do not forget its original predecessor. The Disney's version, although in Full Screen (as it was filmed) has to be in your collection, to be able to enjoy this one to the fullest.
My urge upon you, the viewer, is to buy them both in a package, since otherwise, you may not fully understand the action contained in this sequel.
But even by itself it still stands the proof of time.
I like it. I hope you will too...
