Title: A good movie becomes A GREAT DVD
Review: In some ways, this adaptation of Carl Sagen's novel does not work. There is very little chemistry between Foster and McConaughey (a relationship totally changed from the book), and the ending could have been better scripted.But I like this movie in spite of its shortcomings. It is a rare combination of an interesting plot line and great special effects. Jodie Foster gives a good performance.But if you're on the fence about buying this DVD, consider that it has great commentary tracks (by Foster, Zemekis, et all) and some fascinating behind the scenes explanations of how the special effects were constructed. One of the best packaged DVDs for the money.As a movie, this is good, not exceptional. As a DVD, it is a worthy addition to your collection.
