Will Smith in the Blu.

Advantages: Stunning film
Disadvantages: Nothing

I Am Legend. I remember watching the original film 'The Omega Man', starring Charlton Heston. It was a bit poor and massively different from the book. This latest version starring Will Smith is slightly different from the book but closer to the mark. ~The story~ Robert Neville is the last 'Normal' human alive in the city of Los Angeles and possibly the last in the world. His mind is constantly prayed upon with doubts ...
...There is apparently newer things on the way such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks, so even this may soon be surpassed. Worth the money and a film to be watched again and again All in all a movie I enjoyed. Recommended. Greg. ...

Review on Eragon's DVD

Advantages: Insights on a different world
Disadvantages: Characters can be more developed

...the Lord of The Rings, Eragon has been able to invoke a revitalized interest on the topic of dragons. With enhanced cyber graphics and savvy sound effects and light backdrops, this show has rocked me to my core. Never before had such a DVD ever made such a lasting impression on me. Magic, swordsmanship, the ancient lore of combat is all encompassed in this DVD and shows the fight of Eragon as he braves the forces of evil. A cool and exciting revelation! ...

1982 Blade Runner

Advantages: never fading, always new and gives you hope
Disadvantages: not good for under 16

...The fact that the Blade Runner(Rick Deckard) is forced back into killing the Nexus 6, made a turning point in the movie as he was now a target. The Nexus 6 which was just out to destroy the happily living humans was now being destroyed by the Deckard to 3 of them left and this was the hard target. I was so curious as to know how soon he was going to do this or if he was going to quit the job as he had initially wanted. When he(Deckard ) was almost ...
...this guy in the head, made things in the life of him. He was to kill this girl but after few shots of vodka, found that he loves this girl. I was like oh my God what is he doing? you are gonna get killed. But i was wrong because the whole thing changed. Furthermore, the fact that fact he was spared bye Roy Batty at the final end of the movie was just an evolution in life because he(Batty) realized that all humans are equal and there still remain ...

Don't Panic

Advantages: Dares to evolve the idea at the risk of alienating older fans
Disadvantages: The humour is not everyone's cup of tea

Review of the Movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a British science fiction institution and any attempt to add to it was always going to be controversial to its fans. Translating a story that works as a novel and a television series to a feature film is inevitably going to require changes. The film treads a thin line between trying to evolve the concept by bringing it to a new audience while still remaining true to the original concept, ...
...his best friend Ford escape the destruction of the planet Earth. It's a very english tradition to route for the underdog character and Arthur is as far away from your standard american hero as you can. The humour will likely polarise audiences. For those that do enjoy it, they'll find a more light hearted and streamlined set of gags to enjoy. Every now and again we get a humorous animated section from the guide, voiced by Stephen Fry who was an excellent ...

New York City through a Camcorder!

Advantages: Brilliant suspense and atmosphere, beautiful picture and a quality True HD soundtrack, good extras.
Disadvantages: Only 84 minutes long which might seem short to some, questionable ending.

...and thriller films, but when Cloverfield came on to the horizon with some tongue-wetting teasers, I had to check it out. I personally hadn't heard of the films main stars Michael Stahl-David, Odette Yustman and T.J. Miller, among others, and therefore wasn't expecting the top Hollywood film that Cloverfield ended up being. The film's style is far different than anything I've witnessed before, which in my opinion is a good thing as it introduces ...
...majority of Cloverfield is shot through a High Definition Camcorder and this allows the events of the film to be viewed through one of the characters perspectives. The result of a camcorder being used brings a rather shaky feel to the film which is a bit like marmite; you either love it or hate it! I personally favoured this view as it really allows you to get in touch with the character called "Hud" who is played by T.J. Miller. Some people have ...
