DVD Reviews of Twilight Zone - The Movie
DVD Review: Overall, A Decent Film, but I was Expecting Better...
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I'm a causal fan of The Twilight Zone only, but there are certain episodes that I love of that show. However, I had never really seen this whole movie before, only parts of certain segments. A friend of mine told me that it was pretty good, and I found it cheap, so I decided to buy it. To me, the overall film was pretty good, but not great. The film is divided up into 4 different stories, 3 of which are remakes of classic Twilight zone episodes, and 1 original story. Different directors did each segment, the directors being John Landis, Steven Spielberg (who also produced it), Joe Dante, and George Miller. With directors like these, one would expect something extraordinary, however, I really didn't feel like there was anything that special about any of the segments. Some were better than others, but still, nothing amazing. The first segment, done by Landis, happened to be favorite out of the 4, this one was also the original episode of the film. its about an outspoken bigot that finds himself traveling through time, occupying the bodies of victims of injustice: a Jewish victim of the Holocaust, a black man about to be lynched by the Ku Klux Klan, and a Vietnamese man about to be killed by U.S. soldiers. I really enjoyed this segment, and felt that it had a good meaning to it as well. The second segment, done by Spielberg, was the worst segment of the bunch in my opinion. I can't remember seeing the original episode of this one, but I really hope it wasn't as boring or as uninteresting as this was. The story is about an elderly black man that shows up at a rest home, and gives the gift of youth back to the old folks there. Highly sentimental and a overall nice story, I suppose, but very boring to watch! The third segment is the remake of the classic episode "Its a Good Life", which is one of my favorites of the old show. This remake, though done decently well, is not better than the original by any means, one glaring reason being that the original ending is changed to a happy one! For the most part, I hate happy endings in movies, especially when its NOT SUPPOSED to be a happy ending!!! (By the way, look for actress Nancy Cartwright in this one, better known for the voice of none other than Bart Simspon!!) The last segment is the remake of the great "Terror at 20,000 feet", originally starring William Shatner. This time, the staring role is John Lithgow. Now, I'm gonna a bit biased here. I'm a big fan of William Shatner, and in my opinion, no one is gonna do that role better than him in the original. However, I do think Lithgow had a good performance. The only thing that I didn't like was that I thought the character was way too over the top in the beginning, compared to the original. From the very first moments of the segment, Lithgow's character was totally freaked out and acted almost insane about flying! Where has in the original episode, Shatner's character simply was overly nervous, then got worse and worse as the story progressed. However, probably the biggest dissapointment I had, didn't have anything to do with the movie at all. There are absolutely no special features on this DVD (I think the trailer is on there, but thats it!). With all the talent that was involved in this movie, as well as the tragic helicopter crash that happened on the set of the movie, you would expect a documentary, featurette, director's commentary, something...but no, nothing here. In closing, the movie has its moments, but there's nothing extremely good about it. And with the names involved, it definitely wasn't as good as one might think. Still, its worth owning, but with no special features to mention, only make it worth owning for a low price.
