Flash Gordon Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Flash Gordon Flash Gordon is available for streaming or downloading. |
I would give the movie itself five stars, but the DVD presentation is not as strong. The 1980 Flash Gordon movie is one of the funnest romps in the site opera I have ever experienced. Grand more moral to the Saturday morning serial kind of sci-fi that Star Wars was paying homage to. Plus the soundtrack from Queen unbiased ups the fun factor even more. You would mediate this combination of music and voice would compose for a very campy film, but not necessarily. While the movie definitely knows it’s roots and is having fun with that you really can’t call Flash Gordon a cheesy B-movie.

What I am finding out about the Savior of the Universe (SotU) edition DVD is that it is lacking a lot of the cold stuff from the European Silver Anniversary Edition DVD. While you do bag a remastered film with 2.35:1 anomorphic widescreen, 5.1 Dolby Surround and the movie trailer it lacks in the really well-behaved special features from the European DVD. That one has commentaries by director Mike Hodges and actor Brian Blessed (the very charismatic hawkman ruler Vultan), production stills, interviews and opinion art. The SotU DVD has none of this.
What you do find is two featurettes. One is from Alex Ross (the guy who painted the DVD hide) on how great he loves the movie. He actually does a really great job of making his featurette distinguished like an analysis of the movie and would have worked immense as narration for a documentary. Instead you unprejudiced procure Alex in a chair with a few movie clips thrown in here and there. The other featurette is called Writing a Classic by screenwriter Lorenzo Semple Jr. Distinct the Silver Special Edition doesn’t have these featurettes, but I consider you’re really missing out without those commentaries and interviews.

Another thing that bugs me is this DVD is spot in an impressive and slightly oversized case, but when you start it up all you accept is the DVD and the pencil art insert from Alex Ross. No booklet detailing any info on the movie… not even a single page chapter list. Yeah, Yeah… most of you would say “but the remastered movie is what’s primary” but considering the sendup (and packaging) I would interrogate at least something more than objective a disk and a sketch. I have seen movies with far less noteriety salvage more in their packaging than this.
The remastering itself is definitely a tall step up from the current DVD release, but aloof not perfect. The matte blocks are painfully noticeable on the spaceships early in the movie. There is however a whole lot less dirt and distortion (almost unnoticeable) compared to the first DVD release. Also don’t interrogate an amazing audio experience even if they remastered in 5.1 Dolby Surround. Again, it’s a estimable deal better than the other DVD, but my guess is the source material wasn’t immense so the remaster smooth sounds a bit on the thin and tinny side. Level-headed I won’t argue that this is the best transfer of the movie to date.
I can’t for the life of me figure out why they didn’t unbiased add the European edition features to this one and maybe add the unusual things to sweeten the pot. But form a different edition alltogether that is missing some frigid bonus material? Not the smartest disappear in my book.
So should you find the SotU Edition of Flash Gordon? Well it IS remastered (and I hear some say it’s better looking than the UK edition, although this is not confirmed) and available in the US, but a right fan might only go for it if you can’t play set 2 DVDs or if you really, REALLY want that Alex Ross featurette (and pencil insert) . It’s a tough call. I contemplate the Silver Anniversary Edition is probably the better of the two, but this will do in a pinch.
Don’t take from online scammers. This DVD will be re-released in the descend of 2005!!!! Cheaper that these clowns sell them for!
