SUNSHINE (a J!-ENT Blu-ray Disc Review)

January 7, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

“’SUNSHINE’ spots one of the most vibrant looking films that sports an awesome soundtrack and hours of special features. It’s a magnificent Blu-ray release  but it all comes down to how one responds to the second half of the film (from a film about survival which later becomes a horror/slasher film) which will determine if you love it or hate it.”

It is the year 2057, the sun is dying and mankind faces extinction. Earth’s last hope rests with a courageous crew of eight men and women on a mission to ignite the fading star with a massive nuclear weapon. Deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission begins to unravel and they find themselves fighting not only for their lives, but for the future of us all.

Director Danny Boyle (“Slumdog Millionaire”, “Millions”, “28 Days Later”, “The Beach” and “Trainspotting”) had been inspired by classic sci-fi films such as “Solaris”, “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Alien” and now it was his opportunity to direct his own sci-fi film.

“SUNSHINE” is a British sci-fi film released in theaters back in 2007 and featured a screenplay written by Alex Garland (“28 Days Later” and “The Beach”), music by Underworld (“Vanilla Sky”, “The Beach”, “Batman & Robin” and “Trainspotting”) and cinematography by Alwin H. Kuchler (“Proof”, “The Deal” and “Code 46″).

The film would revolve around an Earth saving mission set by Earth’s Icarus II who have set out towards the sun.  Because the sun is dying, Earth has previously sent the crew of the Icarus to detonate an experimental nuclear bomb in order to reignite the sun.  But somehow, something happened to the crew of the Icarus and thus, two-years later, a new crew of the Icarus II need to finish their mission to reignite the sun.

The film would be different than most films as the talent would comprise of International talent which Director Danny Boyle wanted to showcase how mankind has evolved in their space programs.   Also, each actor had to go undergo method acting and in the film, the crew of the Icarus II had lived together for 16 months.  So, in order to capture that, the talent had to live together and take part in space and scuba training, zero G training, operating a Boeing 747 flight simulator and taking a tour through an actual nuclear submarine.  Also, to watch films such as “The Right Stuff” and “For All Mankind” plus researching the effects on a ship’s crew while in space .

Talents for “SUNSHINE” are:

Hiroyuki Sanada (“Speed Racer”, “Rush Hour 3″ and “The Last Samurai”) as Kaneda – The captain of Icarus II

Troy Garity (“Lake City”, “After the Sunset” and “Barbershop”) as Harvey – The second-in-command and communications officer of the Icarus II.

Cliff Curtis (“Live Free and Die Hard”, “Fracture” and “Runaway Jury”) as Searle – The cool doctor and psychological doctor

Cillian Murphy (“Batman Begins”, “Cold Mountain” and “28 Days Later”) as Robert Capa – A physicist reponsible for operating the nuclear device.

Rose Byrne (“Troy”, “Wicker Park” and “Damages”) as Cassie – The pilot of Icarus II.

Chris Evans (“Fantastic Four” films, “Push” and “TMNT”) as Mace – The engineer of Icarus II.

Michelle Yeoh (“Heroic Trio”, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Memoirs of a Geisha”) as Corazon – The crew’s biologist who takes care of the oxygen garden.

Benedict Wong (“Dirty Pretty Things”, “Mr. John” and “On a Clear Day”) as Trey – The navigator of Icarus II.

These eight member crew while nearing their destination receive a distress beacon from the Icarus I.  The crew decide to rendezvous with the missing vessel and acquire another payload in order to increase their success in their mission.  But when the navigator Trey causes a major error by forgetting to realign the heat shield, the Icarus II becomes damaged by the heat of the sun.

With their mission in jeopardy, each crew member must now sacrifice their lives in trying to fix their ship in the effort to save mankind.  But what they discover on Icarus I will set the story in motion of what had happened to the crew of Icarus I and that possibly, someone from that crew may still be alive…and insane.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

“SUNRISE” is one of those films that will be noted for its picture and audio quality. The film is presented on Blu-ray via 1080p High Definition (aspect ratio 2:35:1) with an AVC @ 16MBPS.  Although the film takes place in the far reaches of space and there is rarely any interaction with anyone outside the ship, simply as this film is not a “Star Wars” or “Star Trek” type of film, each time Icarus or its crew are shown near the sun or interacting with the sun to crew walking through the corridors, colors are well-utilized.

Despite being in space, there is great use of certain colors, not through clothing design but through various lighting.  The sun showcases the amber orange and reds, while the corridors and engine or oxygen planting areas showcase blues and greens.  Blacks are nice and deep and overall, picture quality is solid.  There is grain seen through the film but I would rather have film grain than overuse of DNR and this film looking soft.

As for audio, awesome utilization of audio.  Great use of the front channels for the Underworld score, center channels for dialogue, LFE is heavily used throughout the film and surround channels are quite immersive.  Overall, the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack for “SUNSHINE” is exceptional and you literally hear the audio all around you.

The film is also presented in English, Spanish and French Dolby Digital 5.1.

As for subtitles, “SUNSHINE” is presented with English SDH, English, Spanish, Cantonese and Korean subtitles.

  • Fox on Blu-ray

“SUNSHINE” is an interesting film.  One one side, it’s quite creative of how the scenes are cut, some may find it creative, so may find it annoying.

The storyline is the same.  The first half of the film features a clear plot of the crew trying to survive and accomplish their mission, the story switches gears in the second half of the film as it goes from survival film to horror/slasher film.

In a way, when I was watching the film, I was expecting a cross between “2001″ and even “Solaris” but the film changed and next thing you know, things just change and everything becomes dark and bleak.

As a Blu-ray release, “SUNSHINE” has so much going for it.  Awesome picture and audio quality and hours of special features.  But as a film, knowing the kind of films that Danny Boyle has done, I guess you can say that there are surprises in store for the viewer.

But for those expecting a film about a crew trying to defy the odds and survive their mission, as the first half of the film seemed as if “SUNSHINE” was heading that direction, Danny Boyle rips the carpet right under your feet and gives you something different for the second half.

Some may be upset of how the film just changes to a horror/slasher film but I think that for those who enjoy Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s work, it’s best to assume that they know quite well of how to change the situations of their films and give us a darker side to the characters or their environment.

With that being said, “SUNSHINE” is such a beautiful film that is meant for a High Definition release and its immersive audio soundtrack enforces that.  But it all comes down to the viewer and what they’re open to.  I personally enjoyed the first half of the film but the second half was not what I was expecting and thus, became disappointed because of the change of direction.  But I should have known better, knowing that Director Danny Boyle was at the helm, Boyle is one of the top director’s known for his film and surprising audiences.  So, it’s never good to feel that the characters will always be safe and there always has to be some sort of uneasiness on the viewer’s part that bad things are more than likely going to happen.

And  those who appreciate Boyle’s previous work and want a near perfect transfer of the film, will definitely enjoy this Blu-ray release.  “SUNSHINE” is one of those love it or hate it films.  It’s hard to deny a film that looks and sounds great and comes with so many special features and all that went on behind-the-scenes.  This is a solid Blu-ray release but it all comes down to a person’s overall view of the film and how they take it all in.

But I do feel that fans who appreciate and love Danny Boyle’s work will definitely enjoy this film and this Blu-ray release.

A film that shows one man’s courageous drive to save orphans during one of the worst tragedies in world history (Nanjing Massacres, 1937-1938) and what they would do to survive and get to safety no matter the risk and obstacles they face.  Featuring beautiful cinematography, tragedy but through death and despair, a person who would risk his life for many to live.  A heroic and endearing film!

Experience the true story of British journalist George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who snuck across enemy lines in 1937 to expose the Japanese occupation of China.  After capture and injury, a Chinese resistance leader, Chen (Chow Yun Fat), had to rescue and send him to hide in a remote orphanage.  Now in this foreign land of lost children, far away from the front lines, he’s found more stories than he could have ever dreamed.  From his true love of an Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell), Hogg discovers a rare courage and the true pleasures of life in the unlikely sanctum of Huang Shi.

When the film “THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI” was announced and was in production, many were happy that a major film would cover one of the worst massacres in history and remains controversial to this day.

In 1937-1938, Japanese invaded China (which was having it’s own civil war) and in a city known as Nanjing (the capital city of the Republic of China), Japanese slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians (Men, women, children and babies).  From torture to soldiers that had their fun with the civilians by raping, burning, decapitating them and literally mass graves while soldiers posed with the dead bodies with a smile.  Also, what many people don’t know was that these people were used as lab rats by the Imperial Japanese army for biological and bacterial research.

It’s a part of history that to this day, many fight to let people know of what happened in China and in Nanjing.  For the Japanese, they acknowledge parts of what happened but blame it on wartime and disagree with the numbers of how many were killed.  It is estimated that 200,000 to 350,000 people were massacred.

“THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI” stars actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers as “George Hogg”.  An adventurer who traveled the world including Japan but in China wanted to write a story and taking photos of what was going on in Nanjing for the Associated Press about rumors of atrocities in Nanjing.  So,  George manages to convince a volunteer of the Red Cross to let him and his friend go to Nanjing for him.

Unfortunately, what he discovers was mass destruction but what he witnessed while typing his story was the Japanese army taking the civilians and slaughtering them.  After taking photos of the atrocities, he eventually is caught by the Japanese army and is sentenced to death.  While he is about to be beheaded, he is rescued in time by Chen Hansheng (Chow Yun Fat), a communist resistance leader who helps resistance armies throughout China and eventually, save each other and is nursed Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell) from the Red Cross.

Chen tells Hogg to go to a location and learn Chinese or else, he will not be able to survive in China since there is no way to get him out of the area.   So, he is sent to an area which have about 60 orphans that are dirty, have lice and really, no education, no parents, nothing.  To make matters worse, the orphans don’t believe in him and thus Hogg must do what he can to win these children.

And so, while working in the orphanage, he slowly starts to win their trust, thankfully with the help of Lea and also the rich Mrs. Wang (Michelle Yeoh) who provides the orphanage with money and the materials they need.  Spending years in the orphanage, Hogg is able to turn things around.  Cleaning up the kids, helping them learn some English but learning Chinese and trying to make life hospitable for them.  That is until they were told that the Japanese are coming to their area and thus, Hogg with the help of Pearson and Hansheng try to move all the children to a location hundreds of miles away on foot and under the threat of attack by Japanese bombers.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

The film features beautiful cinematography by Xiaoding Zhao (House of Flying Daggers) featuring beautiful landscapes in Shanghai, China.  When outdoors, the colors are vibrant and most of all, you see part of beauty but due to the war, you see destruction.  But with good locations, the locations lend to the enjoyment of the filming.  As for audio, there are certain scenes when the Japanese attack and blasts are heard everywhere on your speakers.  Nice loud booms.  But the film is mostly dialogue.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

The DVD features one special feature and trailers.  The special feature is “The Challenge of Huang Shi – A Behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film”.  The nearly 12-minute featurette showcases the challenge of trying to film in China and the Chinese not knowing what the foreigners are saying and vice versa.  Fortunately, there were translators on the set but the actors talk about the challenges due to the language barrier.  But also the acknowledgement of why this film was important and how there really isn’t any films on the Nanjing massacre.

Although this film does not focus on the massacre but mainly on the character of George Hogg and the orphans and the people that help him, It was good to see director Roger Spottiswoode cover that tragic time from the past and show how dangerous and tragic those years were.

 /></p> <p style=

Many have wanted to see a big budget film about the Nanjing massacre but although the film does show the atrocities committed by the Japanese soldiers, the film does not focus on that.  The film focuses on adventurer George Hogg, the orphans he raises, teaches and helps bring to safety but also working with the the people who are willing to give him and the orphans a chance.

Now, there are some key differences on the real life of George Hogg versus the George Hogg featured in “The Children of Huang Shi”.  In real life, George Hogg was definitely instrumental in helping the children but he also had some help with a New Zealand communist Rewi Alley (who was a major part of the development of the school).  Alley was eliminated from the storyline.   And the ending featuring Hogg was much different of what happened in reality.  But the film is based on Hogg and it was great to see some of the children (there are four living survivors among the orphans that were saved by Hogg and Alley) at the end of the film talking about Hogg and how great of a person he was to them.

There were some changes for the film.  Lea Pearson is a nurse for the Red Cross who has a romantic relationship formerly with Chen Hansheng.  Many believe that Lea Pearson is an offshoot of real life nurse Kathleen Hall (in reality, who really helped Alley) and Chen Hansheng (who represents Nie Rongzhen, a Communist general which in real life, Hogg helped in guerrilla missions against the Japanese).  But of course, to keep the story simplified and most of all to give honor to Hogg’s life and what he was able to do for those orphans, that is the main focus and for that, the screenplay is written well in focusing on Hogg and his relationships as friend, teacher and guardian.

All actors did a fine job on the film and Jonathan Rhys Meyers did a good job on playing the character of George Hogg but for those wanting to watch the film that focuses more on the tragedy of Nanjing and want to watch about the plight of those trying to survive the massacres (those wanting something along the lines of a “Schindler’s List”, the film does feature a little bit about that but the main focus is about Hogg and his relationship with the orphans.  But in the end, it was a good film.

“THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI” definitely looks beautiful and the film overall is enjoyable and endearing.  It’s definitely good to know about the life of George Hogg and what he has done to save these orphans from danger but it was also great to see Chow Yung Fat and Michelle Yeoh reunited again since their roles in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

Overall, “THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI” is an endearing film featuring beautiful cinematography but also informing people of one of the most tragic periods in humanity.

SUPERCOP 2 (a J!-ENT DVD Review)

September 27, 2003 by · Leave a Comment 

BUY THIS DVD

MOVIE COMPANY: DIMENSION FILMS
CAST: Starring Michelle Yeoh, Cameo by Jackie Chan and more.
DIRECTED BY: Stanley Tong
PRODUCED BY:
RATING: Rated PG
INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE URL: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0106544
TYPE OF MOVIE: Action, Romance


[From Amazon.com] Former Miss Malaysia and current butt-kicking Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh leaped to international attention costarring alongside Jackie Chan in Supercop. The film was actually the third installment of Chan’s successful Police Story series, but that didn’t stop cagey producers from turning out Supercop 2 as a solo vehicle for the lean, lithe Yeoh. She travels from mainland China to Hong Kong to “advise” local cops on a Chinese drug lord and discovers Rong Guang Yu (from Iron Monkey and Rock and Roll Cop), her former lover and now the leader of a militia-style gang in partnership with her quarry. Yeoh is in fine form, kicking off the picture with a thrilling close-quarters battle in a high-rise hotel, but the complicated plot of high tech crime, double crosses, and conflicted loyalties strangles the action and slows the film despite such action highlights as an impressive three-man raid on a well-armed criminal den. (Jackie Chan’s jokey cameo as a cop in drag doesn’t really help matters.) The film finally regains its energy in an explosive free-for-all bank heist climax, in which the painful English dubbing becomes all but unnoticeable as bullets fly, bodies crunch, and balletic Michelle Yeoh moves like a dynamo. –Sean Axmaker

DVD EXTRAS:

KNOWN DVD SECRET(S): None that I know of

DVD REVIEW:

I told myself many times not to buy Dimension Film DVD’s.  I watch too much HK movies and the last thing I need is to watch badly dubbed movies.  But yet, I was curious to the dubbing of this film and although it is not as badly dubbed as the Jet Li movies on Dimension, I closed my mind and not focus on the dub.  Just enjoy the movie.

I enjoy the movie and although it’s not the better one’s from Michelle Yeoh and doesn’t come near the quality of Supercop, it’s an enjoyable movie about love and betrayal.

But like all Dimension Film DVD’s, your treated with nothing but the movie.  Unacceptable in today’s DVD standard in my opinion.  No trailer, not one thing besides the movie.  If that was the case, people could save money and buy the video.  It’s not exactly high quality when it comes to audio/video transfer quality, so look for the Tai-Seng DVD version or subtitled version of this movie.  Enjoy it how it was meant to be.

As for Dimension…”more is better”!
