DVD Reviews of Weird Science (High School Reunion Collection)
DVD Review: "There's going to be sex, drugs, rock'n'roll. Chips, dips, chains, whips.!"
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie that played out just about any young mans fantasey between the ages of 12 and 16 (roughly) was the smash hit Wierd Science.
Probably every teenager begining there sexual peak goes through that fantasey stage. Fantasizing abut the ultimate woman who is at your command, is older and more experienced and has nothing better to do then flirt with you in public so you can show off to all your friends. Only in this movie Gary and Wyatt dont just fantasize it, they create it.
After watching Dr Frankenstien bring his monster to life, they condjur up a wild idea to make a computer program that things like a real woman so they can ask it questions to help them meet woman. Only once they hack into the army and gain more power (its a fantasey movie, you geeks think of something better to do then argue how its not possible) they end up not creating a program, but actualy creating a flesh and blood woman with somewhat genie type of powers.
They call her Lisa and she helps them realise that all they really ever needed to do was be themselves, act natural, loosen up and have a good time. Just be yourself is the motto of the movie. And it's true. All those years of fantasizing and thinking you can never "score" (B&B) and fantasize about the ultimate woman falling into your lap arnt nesersery when you just be yourself and open your eyes to the real world.Also playing on the emotions of alination that some of us go through in life where you dont feel like you fit in, yet you want to.
The cloths may somewhat have out-dated themselves but i think the movie will always be accepted in anyones generation in future. 20 odd years later, i wouldnt call it timeless, but it still definitly isnt a laugh fest at what the 80's dags where like. It still holds up strong today and continues to be a fun classic comedy.
However; The cons about this DVD are the sound and vision arnt that great. It doesnt look all that much better then a VHS version and the sound isnt that great for what claims to be DTS. However I can live with that, but I wont give this DVD more then 4 stars because 5 stars would mean it being perfect, and for this DVD to be perfect, that would require bonus features that are bonus features. Despite what the menu of this DVD claims it to be, a trailer is NOT a bonus feature. It wouldve been nice to have a reunion documentry, audio commentary, if any doco's where filmed during the shooting of this... something, anything wouldve been nice.
