Negative Positive
Title: Great Movie, but PLEASE don't watch on DVD--it's awful
Review: I was so excited to get the 5 star collection of "The Sound of Music". When I did, I popped it in expecting that warm feeling but instead I found it cold and vaguely creepy. In the opening scenes, showing the Austrian hills, the scenes look so fake and cartoonish...like a video game. These scenes were actually filmed on location to get the true feeling of being there. Now, they look computer generated--in fact, I can tell some differences that have been thrown in to make everything look even more glistening. It isn't higher resolution, it's fake stuff. The warm feeling of film is gone and is replaced with harsh sound and even the faces of the characters look plastic, like robots. This is a movie best seen on VHS in Widescreen format. If they digitalized it anymore, it would look like "The Matrix"...it almost does. I love the DVD format for most movies but this one overdoes it bigtime. It looks like a cartoon or video game.
Is the review positive or negative?
