DVD Reviews of Forever Young [Region 2]
DVD Review: If only we could remain Forever Young!
Summary: 5 Stars
This 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 Stars
This 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 Stars
Forever 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 Stars
I 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.DVD Review: A decent but predictable movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
Mel is back again, and he does pretty well in this one.
A good script and good acting make what would have been an average movie into something far above average.
It was marketed as a movie for kids and adults, I have a hard time agreeing with that due to the fact that Mr. Gibson's rear end is shown AGAIN!!!!!
Can the guy do a movie without showing his butt?
Cover your kids eyes for that scene, otherwise it's a touching, feel good movie with a great cast and a tear jerky ending.
Description of Forever Young [Region 2]
A 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 ShannonGeneral DVDs
