Congo DVD USA
Score: 3/6
Not much to say, a standard boring release from Paramount, but picture is sharp and clean. Not quite sure about the aspect ratio, but Express.com states 1.77:1, and I can see it's not fully 1.85:1.... read more
Dante's Peak DVD USA
Score: 5/6
Naturligvis er Dante's Peak utgitt på DVD, både sone 1 og 2. Universal har virkelig forstått formatets muligheter, og så godt som alle deres utgivelser kommer som Collector's Editions med mye ektrasaker. Selve filmen er naturligvis i 16:9 optimalisert widescreen. Det er engelske og spanske tekster og dubbing til spansk og fransk. I tillegg følger d... read more
WarGames DVD USA
Score: 4/6
DVD-utgivelsen er absolutt akseptabel. Jeg er veldig glad i kommentarspor, og får jeg det, bryr jeg meg forsåvidt ikke om så mye annet. Det er virkelig bra at de klarer å finne fram produsentene av en såpass gammel film, og at de husker så mye fra produksjonen. De snakker faktisk om Norge. Kommentaren blei tydligvis tatt opp etter at det blei avslø... read more
Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines DVD Canada
Amazing DD 5.1 audio track - this is reference material! The European releases include a DTS track, but there is no remarkable difference. The picture is great with no sign of artifacts or dirt, but maybe not exactly reference. The picture is not as crisp as DVD can be, but this might be intentional to give the film a more classic "cinema-like" loo... read more
Timeline DVD Canada
A good but rather mediocre video transfer. Nothing really eye-dropping and nothing really bad. Great roaring soundtrack with heavy use of the subwoofer. I miss a DTS track on the disc allthough the DD 5.1 sounds great. Dialogue could have been mixed a bit higher and tended to get a bit "drowned" by the music in the beginning in the film (where ther... read more

Congo
Reviewed: 2003-01-20 Score: 4
Action-adventure based on the book by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park). A great adventure from the heart of Africa; Congo! I'm not really confident with the ending though, the special effects aren't the best I've seen, it's a bit too violent and the humans don't seem very endangered. But, apart from... read more
Andromeda Strain, The
Reviewed: 2003-01-20 Score: 3
Zzzz... well, the film gets a bit exciting at the end, but the acting is rather bad and it's quite boring for most of the time. Although the story follows the book pretty well, and it's fun to actually see what you've read, this is a film for people with special interest (like me I guess). Read the ... read more
WarGames
Reviewed: 2000-02-06 Score: 6
Med sin totale mangel på vold kan denne filmen passe alle aldersgrupper. WarGames er, samtidig som den retter et veldig kritisk blikk på å overlate for mye kontroll til datamaskiner, og atomvåpen, et herlig tilbakeblikk til åttitallet, da datamaskiner var for hackerne. Også den musikken, da! Det er ... read more
Dante's Peak
Reviewed: 1999-09-01 Score: 6
Denne fantastiske filmen fra 1997 regissert av Roger Donaldson (Species) med Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, Terminator 2 Judgment Day) som Rachel Wando og Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Nephew, Mars Attacks!) som Harry Dalton i hovedrollene blir bedre og bedre hver gang du ser ... read more
