Movie Reviews of Twilight Zone - The Movie [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Disapointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I was happy tu buy it, after maybe 15 years without seen it. But what a disapointment! No gore, bad script. The only good story is the one with John Lightgow, the rest, very ordinary. Old people who want to stay old, a young boy a little bit crazy, a guy who doesn't like any race,not so good.Movie Review: A lost opportunity
Summary: 3 Stars
Hard to believe a movie that is over 25 years old is only just been released on DVD. Anyone would think that Warner Bros were hanging on to it for a special DVD release because it was so good. Ha! This movie adapation of the classic TV series is a lost opportunity which could have been a fantastic movie if only it had better direction. The public assumed that because Spielberg was on board that it would mean a good film. His contribution about the retirement village was extremely boring and spoilt the overall feel of the film. What also affected this film was the appalling story about the boy in the house who controls all his visitors. The other segments are much better I am happy to say with the standout being the introduction with Albert Brookes and Dan Akroyd - this is pretty scary indeed. The story with Vic Morrow is also engaging and thought provoking, while the final story about a man scared of flying is both funny and scary.
Despite some good stories, the movie adaptation was a lost opportunity to truly present a collection worth seeing. It received mix reviews in 1983. Now that it has been released on DVD, it would have been good to include some special features to make it more attractive.
Rent first!
Movie Review: Unimaginative . . .
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is a dismal attempt to recapture the classic tv series. Nothing new. Acting and script are mediocre.Movie Review: Almost 25 years later, and this is all we get?
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a decent film. Four decent stories. I'm glad to see that it finally came out on DVD, but since we've waited so long for this DVD to come out, you would think this delay was caused because they wanted to put together some kind of documentary before releasing it. But there are no special features whatsoever on this DVD.
I was hoping that we would, at least, get to see the Vic Morrow story since he died while filming this movie back in 1983. Plus maybe a good documentary on Rod Serling and all that inspired the making of this film. All us classic Twilight Zone fans would have expected that. No mastering effort was put toward improving on the DVD either. I've seen better mastered DVD's selling for less than ten dollars. Well, I guess it's better than nothing.
Movie Review: Twilight Zone: The Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Twilight Zone: The Movie was a great disappointment to me. Having waited so long for the DVD, I finally got to watch it only to find a huge chunk missing from segment #1. This segment is testament to Vic Morrow's final performance, one which he gave up his life for. The least the DVD producer could have done is to show the movie in its entirety. This would be the best tribute to a fine actor/director dedicated to his craft. The stories for all segments does not intrigue but baffle the audience. Production value also receives a minus. Directors instead of actors take centre stage, the trailer and credits gave the directors more prominence than the actors or the storyline. If not for Vic Morrow, I would not have bothered to watch this movie. While the TV series had its own merits the movie certainly does not and to make money off a dead man is really offensive.
