Average Rating: Rating: - great movie / terrible format I could never recommend this version of a great film. If it is not available on dvd with widescreen format, why not stay with a VHS.. The full screen format without a wide screen option is beyond my comprehension. Also it is very unfortunate this is not made clear on the advertisement for this dvd... Rating: - Second Generation VHS on DVD! Simply put, this DVD borders on junk! The "restoration" is a farce. It's loaded with video digital artifacts (in fact, this DVD could serve as a reference for all known digital artifacts). Digital haze, rainbows (especially for vertical objects that transition between dark and light), break up around images of the actors (also known as serious dot crawl), flat, featureless images of the actors, etc. But the sound is quite good, doing justification to composer Bernard Herrmann's first film score as a full-time film composer. The extras (on Side B) contain the usual mutual-admiration-society comments among some of the film's principals plus embarrassingly inferior video lighting and taping of two of the interviewees. They look like they died and were partially re-animated! (Sort of fits with the terrible video quality of the film on Side A.) One extra of interest is a "Restoration Comparison" where the "restored" master is contrasted side-by-side with the laser disc released some time ago. The laser disc has a superior picture every time! Bottom line: try to find a copy of the laser disc or wait for the next (HDTV?) release on DVD. Rating: - Klatu-Barata-Nikto! Not only one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, but one of the best movies of all time. They don't make them like this anymore. Wonderful story and great actors ,all working together, giving brilliantly subtle performances. Not like most of todays hammy "look at me aren't I wonderful?"(no) celebrities. This movie sends a message of brotherhood or doom, which is as timely now (more so,unfortunatley)), then when it was made. From the very beginning, as the story unfolds, you will be captivated and intrigued. And all this is accomplished with NO annoying computerized special effects.(Call me old fashioned.)Just a great, great film. And when you see Patricia Neal hurriedly going to the park at night to send spaceman Michael Rennie's "Klatu's" urgent message to "Gort", the robot, you are seeing one of the most memorable, goose-bump filling scenes in motion picture history.Forget "Independence Day", watch this classic film. It's the real thing.
