Radio On DVD

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...A father and his son can cross through three decades using an old radio and have a conversation. If you can get past your disbelief an follow the film's central conceit, and have an eye for detail, then the films works together great giving a good storyline and good effects. The film starts in 1969, Frank Sullivan lives with his his wife and six-year old son. When he is not workign he likes to surf the air-waves of his radio. However, in October, some freaky solar activity creates unusual effects. It doesn't just light up manhatten but it does something freaky with his radio, now it has a lot stronger frequency than before which can reach 3 decades.... Read review

Advantages: Enjoyable for sci fi lovers
Disadvantages: more actoin and maybe some special effects

...For sci fi lovers, I would say this is a good film to watch, yet not extreamly good. "Back to the future meets Sixth sense" as they say. It is a film that shows the relationship between a father and son. And how time and frequency helped them both solve a muder and save a live. It might make you think that, how might this become true, as you tune your radio tonight, don't be surprised hearing a radio show back in the 80s. But our imagination just wonders off, and thats how those films are made out of. Frequency has a bits of everything, maybe it would be more exciting if it concentrated more on the science fiction side of the story, but thats just my opinion.... Read review
