Movie Reviews of Wild Palms
Movie Review: 4:3 and grainy. Well... I guess it's better than my VHS set.
Summary: 3 Stars
What's there to say about Wild Palms that hasn't been said a hundred times before?
With that, I'll stick to the DVD itself: despite the back proudly proclaiming "High Definition Transfer", the picture quality is pretty bad. I'm not sure what the master was on this, but there's a lot of color bleeding, and a lot of blur -- more than the intentional soft focus that many scenes were shot it.
The picture itself is 4:3, which isn't completely unexpected, given that this was a miniseries... but it's disappointing nonetheless. And unfortunately, the audio was a bit neglected, as well.
For the price, I can't really complain. But since I own the VHS set and the Australian import DVD set, there wasn't very much to gain here.
Since so many people draw parallels with Twin Peaks, I can say that the picture and sound quality of the Twin Peaks DVD's are incredible by comparison. David Lynch showed a LOT of love on those. Sadly, Wild Palms seems unloved by MGM and Oliver Stone.
Summary of Wild Palms
A dark, sexy, noir Los Angeles of the future is the backdrop for Oliver Stone's haunting, sci-fi saga of greed, treason and virtual reality. Harry Wyckoff (James Belushi) is about to become a player in a dark and terrifying battle where everything is at stake and no one is who they seem. Featuring an all-star cast, this story about a cult, a corporation, and a conspiracy to rule the country, is one of the most original movie events in recent history.Action & Adventure DVD Video
