DVD REVIEW:
A fun movie to watch and a fun movie to watch if you grew up in the 70’s during the Charlie’s Angel phenomenon.
One of the problems with this movie when it debuted was that some people loved it and some people hated it. Those who hated it, didn’t like the MTV look of the film and how the film wasn’t serious. Some may say it’s more eye candy for the male fans.
Perhaps. But you maybe asking why buy this DVD? Well, it’s kind of hard to convince you if you hate this movie but if you enjoyed it, then the reasons why to buy this DVD is because it’s jam packed. Note: If you have a multi-region player, this DVD may not play.
The video quality is very cool. Since they experimented with different ways to film the movie, colors are brilliant but at times I felt that the colors were over saturated (note: Beach scene, look at the reds). The audio was nice but for some reason I felt that I got more from my digital 5.1 from the trailers. (Yes, the trailers are in 5.1 except Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).
As for DVD special features, a small featurette for the director, the action-stunt coordinator, fashion/clothing, for the movie, extended scenes, deleted scenes, outtakes (the ending of the film without the credits), director’s commentary, two music videos and trailers that are in digital 5.1 (including a sneak peak of the highly anticipated CGI film, “Final Fantasy”).
So, if you enjoyed the movie, you will be in for a treat with the special edition DVD.
