DVD Reviews of Forever YoungDVD Review: Great Movie.Gibson Summary: 5 StarsOne of my favorite movies of all time. Done well by Gibson and Curtis. I loved the little boys that played the young boys parts. Great delivery time.
DVD Review: If only we could remain Forever Young! Summary: 5 StarsThis is a very good movie, though a little sad. Makes you realize how important it is to enjoy life and love while you can, because you never know when everything will change, maybe forever. Mel Gibson looses a large part of his life, when he is involved in an experiment that goes awry. He does learn a lot from the ordeal and gets to enjoy the end of his life.
DVD Review: A Time Travel Movie With Feeling Summary: 4 StarsThis is another of these frozen-in-time movies. I know at least two of them that were made in 1991-1992 and they were both fun to watch: this movie and "Late For Dinner."
The good things that this particular film has going for it are: 1 - Mel Gibson plays a very likable lead character in "Captain Daniel McCormick;" 2 - there is a nice 1940s atmosphere in the beginning with a beautiful Isabell Glasser, who exhibits one of the sweetest faces and smiles I've seen on film; 3 - there is a good mix of humor, drama and intrigue, as well as fantasy in the story; 4 - there is a nice, almost tear-inducing ending.
The film got criticized for being too unrealistic but, hey, it's supposed to be a fantasy story where everything is not explained. Overall, a nice, touching movie.
DVD Review: Excellent cast. Summary: 3 StarsForever Young is a good and romantic drama. The story is a bit soapy but I believe this film was written by J.J. Abrams who went on to bigger and better things. The cast is extraordinary here with stars like Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and a young Elijah Wood. I like this film, brings back a lot of great memories, check it out sometime!
DVD Review: Great romance Summary: 5 StarsI had never seen this movie before purchasing it, but it was only upon the first viewing that I fell in love with the sweet romance with all of its devotion. There is true emotion in this movie, from romance to friendship to family and everything inbetween, all combined with a delightful little bit of very realistic science fiction that makes this fantastical story believable, if not necessarily plausible--hence the fantasy. This is in Mel Gibson's glory days, where we can stare at his handsomeness as he plays a common man, a pilot... who finds himself waking up after decades frozen in time. Jamie Lee Curtis is making the most of her own romantic days, and the chemistry between her and Gibson is commendable. Still, it is the story itself that makes this movie truly enchanting.
Description of Forever YoungJust prior to World War II, a man believes his sweethear to have died in a car accident and so consents to be a human subject in a cryogenics experiment. He wakes up in the 90s baffled by the world as it has become, but finds that true love waits forever. Includes the original theatrical trailer. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: PG Release Date: 14-SEP-2004 Media Type: DVD A surprise sleeper hit when released in 1992, this romantic fantasy works as a comedic adventure and a gentle tearjerker thanks to Mel Gibson's appealing performance. He plays Daniel, a daring test pilot who is deeply distraught by the apparent death of his girlfriend, Helen, in 1939. Feeling little reason to live, he volunteers for a pioneering cryogenics experiment and is thawed out 50 years later by two young boys. They bring the confused pilot home to Nat's single mom, Claire (Jamie Lee Curtis). There's a hint of romance, but Daniel desperately needs to know if Helen really died in 1939, and he discovers that love has a way of surviving a half-century leap in time. The premise is hokey and certain plot details are conveniently ignored, but Gibson, Curtis, and Elijah Wood (as Nat) hold it together with irresistible charm and just the right balance of fantasy and drama. --Jeff Shannon
