Title: Mmmm Rocky!
Review: Well, to say I love this piece of work is to understate the matter. If it were to be remade, the only things needing retouching might be the space-ship sequences, and the glowing globey Martians.The Sand Ships could be reworked, but we do not rework Metropolis (and walk the streets alive) so I just wear it. The Digital Transfer was wonderful, and gave the work a facelift, that brought it back to life. The soundtrack is a bit dated, but that is part of its charm. More features would have helped (maybe an interview with the director, or Mr. Bradbury), but we are all so spoilt for extra features these days. If you love Sci Fi, this is a must for the collection. The Martians stand up even now as characters. This edition has allowed me to retire my old VHS copies (They really needed it), and i shall continue to love this classic of the canon of mid-20th century sci fi.
