Negative Positive
Title: Great movie, crappy DVD
Review: 3 things bothered me. 1. Bad sound. This is a movie, like "Star Wars" in which the soundtrack plays a huge role, and my normally booming DVD player suddenly sounded like an AM radio. 2. The whole film seemed very jumpy. You'll notice this in the opening credits, which are fuzzy and occasionally bump up and down. Is this a film that needs to be restored? If so, somebody please do it. 3. Extra features - where were they? For all its faults, "Blade Runner" is a work of art, and deserves DVD extras at least as impressive as those of "Fight Club", perhaps even the full "Brazil" treatment. Where are the storyboards, the making-of, the director's commentary? My dream is that Criterion or somebody gets their hands on this beautiful film and gives it the DVD it deserves.
Is the review positive or negative?
