Movie Reviews of The Mummy [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Absolutely Phenomenal On HD DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone knows the plot of the movie and that it was based on the 1940s film, "The Mummy's Hand," so what I'm going to talk about is the HD DVD transfer.
I got my HD DVD player last year and have been thoroughly stoked about it, given the right movie. "The Mummy" is definitely one of those right movies. From the opening credits to the first views of the Egyptian city, the clarity of the high-def presentation rivals that of your local theater. Once a wall-sized monitor becomes available, film buffs are truly going to be able to have the theater experience right in their own homes.
The action sequences are great. The colors are fantastic. And the special effects are tremendous. The dust cloud confrontation at the end just blew me away all over again.
I owned the movie on DVD and had watched it on television a few times (it's one of those on a list of guilty pleasures) but I hadn't seen anything like this presentation outside of the theater.
Now I gotta get "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King." And I can't wait for "The Mummy 3" coming in 2008!
Movie Review: One of the Best Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen, but I'd like to talk about one of the extra features: The director's commentary is the most informative I've ever heard.
Director Stephen Sommers and Editor Bob Ducsay break the movie down scene-by-scene better than any of the others I've watched and give you a real feel for what it's like to direct a big-budget movie filled with computer-generated effects.
I would recommend the movie for this feature alone to anyone aspiring to be a director, screenwriter, or movie editor.
Movie Review: Fun Film Looks Even Better on HD DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I both enjoy this film immensely. Few movies better it for shear popcorn film fun. Action packed, humor filled and just silly at times, it makes a perfect film to pass an afternoon.
This is a very good HD DVD effort, but not perfect. Detail and color are excellent but some digital noise is evident in a few scenes. The increase in resolution is noticeable and appreciated. It is a nice improvement over the SD DVD.
Movie Review: All round excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
The story line is great, as most people who buy this product know. It is, therefore, refereshing to find that the digital transfer is really excellent too, certainly one of the best if not the best I have so far purchased. The colors and detail are crisp and clear, as is the sound. This is a must if you loved the orginal film.Movie Review: HD-DVD is Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
A genuinely worthwhile video and audio improvement over the standard definition disc. The image is better than what I experienced in a movie theater. One of the great Saturday Afternoon popcorn films in the same league with "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Indiana Jones." Image and audio are superb.
