Negative Positive
Title: Back on Blu, empty on extras
Review: It's a big risk to mix action and comedy, because if you get the balance wrong, the element left in the minority feels out of place and ruins the rest. Mix in kids and horror, and you could possibly end up with a muddled mess. In Dekker and Black's hands though, this recipe paid off in a classic adventure film that may not have been a hit when first released, but, like many cult films, it's grown on people and been rediscovered on videotape and cable. Unfortunately, the best chance to relish the film came and went in 2009 with the out-of-print Lionsgate release, but it's nice to still have the option to pick up the film for those who missed out. The thing is, as of this writing, you can still pick up the previous Blu-Ray used for the same price or less, which makes it very hard to give this one anything more than a 2 star rating.
