DVD Reviews of Purple Rain
DVD Review: Worth Buying on Blu Ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
Looks and SOUNDS great on Blu Ray. I have the regular DVD and it's not even in Dolby 5.1 so I bought the Blu Ray. Picture quality is great and the sound is awesome! Nice bonus features too including a look at the real First Avenue club in Minneapolis and audio commentary from Executive Producer Bob Cavallo among others.DVD Review: HDDVD films at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, the costumes, outfits, music, and dance moves are dated
but it still was a great movie. While staged it was great to see
Prince perform in his early years. Don't look for any deep meaning
other than it was a story for it's time. For all of us 40 and 50
somethings it's a nice nostalgic look back at our youth.

Summary: 5 Stars
good movie. love the songs.its sad how his dad treated him. but he pulled it off and became famouseDVD Review: Good Blu-ray release but too many SD features
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't expect the quality to be great with this film but it was not bad. My main complaint with the BD release is that the music videos were not remastered into HD quality! What's the point then?
As for the movie? Classic. Love Purple Rain.
Description of Purple Rain
PRINCE, THE ELECTRIFYING ROCK DYNAMO STARS AS A STRUGGLINGNIGHTCLUB SINGER. FEATURES MANY OF PRINCE'S MEGA HITS. STORY OF A YOUNG SONGWRITER, PERFORMER AND SINGER.When Prince's dazzling and dynamic Purple Rain (movie and soundtrack album) and the hypnotic hit single "When Doves Cry" exploded onto the pop-culture scene in 1984, it seemed there was nothing the purple one couldn't do. The film is basically a feature-length music video, but no musician has ever had a better big-screen showcase for his many talents. The plot is really just a theme (about the son of an abusive father struggling not to continue the pattern) upon which to hang some of Prince's most dazzling songs (including "Let's Go Crazy" and the title tune), and some sizzling live-concert numbers. Apollonia Kotero is ravishing as the romantic interest, and Morris Day and the Time provide some terrific musical competition. Purple Rain is an essential artifact of the mid-'80s pop Zeitgeist. Prince took home an Oscar for the song score. --Jim Emerson
