Movie Reviews of The Heroes of Telemark
Movie Review: Heroic War Story in Snow
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this DVD thinking the quality would be better in a DVD, than the VHS I had. I was very disappointed in the quality, although the story was an adventure to behold. The bravery of these men in World War 2 to stop the manufacture of hard water to prevent Germany from making the Atom Bomb was awe-inspiring. However, I felt the love story between Kirk Douglas and his ex-wife in the movie, was a distraction we didn't need and almost took away the heroic aspect of the movie. All in all a worthy effort. Richard Harris and Michael Redgrave were very good in their parts also.Movie Review: Great movie! Poor DVD.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this DVD because the movie, which I have seen on TV, is truly wonderful. However, upon receiving and playing the DVD, I found the sound track to be muddled and the dialogue hard to understand at times. The video reproduction is ok.Movie Review: AVOID THIS AWFUL, MUTILATED COPY
Summary: 1 Stars
"Heroes of Telemark" is a very fine film, an exciting and informative war drama. Unfortunately, this copy has nothing to commend it to the buyer. It's a very inferior transfer, for one thing. For another, and most importantly, it's savagely mutilated. "Heroes" was originally filmed in widescreen (2.35:1). This copy has been cut to ribbons and offered to you at a lousy "full" screen of 1.33:1. Full screen, my aching arse. This is just an advertising ploy to dupe the consumer. The only FULL screen is the aspect of the original filming. The so-called "full" screen here gives you about 60% of the film. Do you really want to pay good money for a butchered copy of a horrid transfer? Only a sap volunteers to be fleeced. Don't be a sap.Movie Review: Good movie -bad DVD production quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I think I own over 1000 DVDs and this is the worst DVD I own.
This is a very interesting story from world war II. The movie tells of extreme heroism from all those involved in stopping the Germans from developing their nuclear capability. However, I can not recommend this DVD. The quality is soooo bad. The audio quality is so poor that they automatically put on english subtitles on the screen so you can decipher what the dialogue is.
I do not know who owns the rights to this movie, but it needs to be straighten out. Then hopefully a high quality DVD can be made properly and the story told without static and fuzzy image projection
Movie Review: TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT
Summary: 1 Stars
I viewed this movie when I was young when it first came out and was overjoyed to see it was available on DVD. I received it today and I am very, very, very diappointed. It was made in Malasia by the chinese I think, and it looks terrible, like a bad quality VHS. It was likely copied from something, and I am surprised Amazon would carry something like this. I will be sending it back!
